Rename, certainly: Xanadu

I am saying rename because [1]

• the name first popped up as the name of a town specially the capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty in China (This is the biggest use of it in history)
• it is also a film starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly,
• a mountain in the Arrigetch Peaks in Alaska,
• the reflective area on Saturn's moon titan
• a color,
• 8 or 10 songs with the name,
• and a DC comics character

None of which are this trope. There are a few buildings in real life called this most of which are Malls.

As well as the the fact that the intended Trope Namer is a borderline example of the laid out trope.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!

> Yep, that option never belongs in an alt. titles crowner.

Listen, stop complaining. I am new to crowners, but I saw this option pretty much on every single crowner I voted on and I thought it's supposed to be so.

Better tidy up your own wiki before blaming me for not following a standard no one seems to give a finger about. Consistency, anyone?

I was voicing my confirmation of Shale's post so that if any uninformed person (as you were previously) comes across the thread, they can know that yes, this is the standard. If you read my post and figured that it contained an implicit "and therefore whoever added it in must be a stupid doodoo head", well, it didn't. Everyone makes mistakes, and forum newbies doubly so. It's nothing to fret about.

As to "no one follows this standard": That's interesting, because as far as I know that standard is pretty widely followed. Can you provide examples of alt. titles crowners which had the "keep current title" option in them?

At +14 to -3 for Building of Adventure I think we can call this one. I'll rename this one presently baring last minute objections.

Once the rename is complete, how about redirecting Xanadu to the film article Xanadu?

Rename done.

I found roughly 15 links out of 60 were for the film not the trope. This emboldened me to go ahead a redirect the old name to the film. I added a note to the film article to help out those looking for Building of Adventure.

No discussion or YKTTW to bring across.

That's what disambiguation pages in Main were intended to be kept as. Care if I change it?
