Kantara (film) → Kantara: Chapter 2 – While not the official title, Kantara: Chapter 2 is commonly used by media and audiences to refer to the original 2022 film, especially after the announcement of the prequel Kantara: Chapter 1. The new title is clearer, not confusing, and helps distinguish the films by narrative order. TheUltimateInfinityMaster9000000 (talk) sock strike 04:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

Support either that nor Kantara (2022 film); with "Kantara (film)" redirecting to Kantara (disambiguation) -- 65.93.183.181 (talk) 05:08, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Retroactive titles are not allowed. That's why we don't have Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:34, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure they're allowed, WP:UCN we use common names not official names WP:OFFICIALNAME. If the retroactive title becomes the common name, its the one that is suppoed to be used per our own article naming guidelines. Ofcourse the problem is that the nominator is banned, so does the argument presented by the nominator represent the real-life situation? -- 65.93.183.181 (talk) 19:25, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support some form of dab. Given that the original Kantara has been retroactively titled Chapter 2, and that the next film in the series is titled Chapter 1, Kantara (film) is inherently ambiguous. If the titles were in chronological numbering atleast, we could've made a case for retaining the title at Kantara (film) a la Guardians of the Galaxy (film). Kantara (2022 film) is an option, but I think there's a more natural dab in the retroactive title here. There wasn't a similar need to achieve more clarity in the counterexamples cited by Kailash. 2001:8F8:172B:3F78:ACF9:13AF:F7FB:7CB7 (talk) 18:31, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
