Talk:Outside (David Bowie album)

message: I vaguely heard about a movie version of Outside... Does it exist? Where can I find more infos? Thanks ...
That's entirely new to me.  Have you asked about this on the forum at davidbowie.com? Granttarredus (talk) 08:47, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Outside movie ? 

message: I think that the name of this album is just Outside, as it appears printed on the side of the box. The number 1 on the cover just shows that it's the first album of a trilogy (unfinished by now), but I don't think it's part of the proper name of the album. --SugarKane 19:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed it back because pages should not be moved by pasting. We have a "move" function for that. Should the move seem desirable, an administrator would be happy to help at Wikipedia:Requested moves. I'd be happy to do it myself, if a note is dropped at my talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "1.Outside" or just "Outside" ? 

message: I'm moving it from 1.OUTSIDE to Outside (album) and changing the name from 1.OUTSIDE to Outside. The number is not closely tied to the name, as evidenced by related names not including it (Excerpts from Outside and "Outside Tour") and not being included consistently on the box (see comment above). The uppercasing is purely stylistic, for the same reasons. --PEJL 14:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving 

message: It was supposed to be the first of five albums, not three I believe but that's irrelevant. It is frequently referred to as 1. Outside in e.g. Complete David Bowie, so I think this should be reverted... 195.157.52.65 11:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hmm 

message: As noted above, it is referred to in both ways in different places, including on the album itself. How it is referred to in non-official places (such as in that book) should carry very little weight. --PEJL 12:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I changed it to 1. Outside. Unforutnately I acted bold before I read the talk page (doh!). It doesn't seem like it's okay either way so I will leave it. Jason Quinn (talk) 23:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Changed to 1. Outside

message: This has been done over and over in other Bowie articles (like for Hours or Blackstar). The large majority of WP users will search for 'Outside' and should find this article. The small majority who search for '1. outside' should also find this article. But WP:COMMONNAME says stick with what's simplest - so it should be Outside and should mention that it's occasionally referred to as "1. Outside". 87Fan (talk) 22:06, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Common name

message: A guy called Nicholas Greco wrote his master's thesis in music criticism about Outside. I think it's an interesting analysis showing how Outside holds up as a work of art. David Bowie's 1. Outside - The creation of a liminoid space as a metaphor for pre-millennial society How about mentioning it in the article? Outside sure has some extraordinary qualities. A perspective on those could make this a great article. Jonah Lark 23:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Outside (David Bowie album) →  – Primarily on the grounds of WP:Natural disambiguation, to use "an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources, albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title". Sources - and physical releases of the album itself - utilise title both with and without "1." appelation, so the natural disambiguation should be used. See  and  from artist's official website (NB Selecting "1. Outside", reading the lack of space in "1.OUTSIDE"/"1.Outside" as part of stylisation). U-Mos (talk) 00:09, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: OPPOSE. Outside itself is a disambiguation page. WP:COMMONNAME says it should be called Outside. Please see the conversation on this topic already on the talk page. 87Fan (talk) 15:45, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

text: Oppose per above – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:49, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies if I'm missing something - what is the relevance of Outside being a disambiguation page? Other than the fact that it necessitates a less concise title here, hence my rationale for moving. I did indeed assess the conversations on this talk page, noting the recognition that sources are not consistent, that natural disambiguation has nevertheless not been discussed, and also that there has never been a formal move discussion. U-Mos (talk) 22:57, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "Natural disambiguation" is already built in, isn't it? The name of the page is "Outside (David Bowie album)". My point about the disambiguation page was that nobody who searches for 'Outside' is going to accidentally end up here, and nobody who searches for "David Bowie's Outside album" is going to fail to end up here. There is nothing broken with the way it is right now. And, as has been pointed out in several Bowie album articles ("Heroes"", "hours..." and EARTHLING), the stylized name of the album isn't the best way for people to find what they're looking for. Anyone who doesn't know that the album was occasionally called 1. Outside will learn within a few seconds of reading the article's lede. It's literally the first thing there. 87Fan (talk) 00:06, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The current title is not natural disambiguation, as it uses parentheses to distinguish this article from other subjects called Outside. The proposed title removes that necessity. I'm not disputing that "Outside" alone is the most common name, but per the quotation above an alternative and also commonly used name is preferred when it removes the need for disambiguation. U-Mos (talk) 00:33, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

text: Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME as 87Fan already said. QuietHere (talk) 01:11, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 2 September 2022 

message: Article mentions inspiration by Twin Peaks; the song I'm Deranged is used twice on the soundtrack to the movie Lost Highway, which was directed by David Lynch. Trent Reznor, who collaborated with Bowie, produced the soundtrack. Long story short, there is a big missing Lynch/Bowie/Reznor connection that is not discussed in the article.  Cyberbytli (talk) 11:17, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I would argue none of that is relevant to this album article. Of course that info belongs in the "I'm Deranged" article, but mentioning that one song being apart of another, plus the director and producer, leans into excess. But I appreciate the concern. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 14:22, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
