I think we should change the name of the article: the official English name, and the most popular, is San Sebastian International Film Festival. In google, for example, it is the most popular name (516 vs. 50.700). Generalpoteito 13:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, redirects solve in part the problem. But I think it's also necessary to change the name. Redirections are very important; but the most important element is the title of the article. It is for that that articles can be moved. Generalpoteito 14:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment: Just to make it clear, I support the move being proposed. The existing name would become a redirect, and no internal Wikipedia links would be harmed. — WiseKwai 16:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The Festival always uses, in English, the name San Sebastian International Film Festival (and San Sebastian without accent). You can see that in the web page. For example: "38 films to form the Cold Fever-The New Nordic cinema retrospective at San Sebastian Film Festival", "David Cronenberg says he is “delighted” to participate in the forthcoming San Sebastian International Film Festival", "Spanish directors Iciar Bollain and Gracia Querejeta will compete in the Official Selection of the San Sebastian International Film Festival" or "Official presentation of the 55th Edition of the San Sebastian Film Festival". In the world of cinema it is the popular name. Also the most popular name in Google. In Spanish wikipedia, we have just changed the name to Festival Internacional de Cine de San Sebastián, without Donostia, which is used only in Basque. The article of the city in English wikipedia, for example, is San Sebastián, and not Donostia. I think there are many reasons to change the name and to explain in the article that the official name of the city is Donostia-San Sebastian. Generalpoteito 13:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not true. The official website refers to the festival as "Donostia-San Sebastián International Film Festival" on the top of its English page, despite shortening to "San Sebastián International Film Festival" on most occasions for simplicity. It's a short form as valid as "Donostia International Film Festival" actually. Naturally the article on the Spanish Wikipedia mentions just "San Sebastián" as that's the Spanish name for the city. The Basque Wikipedia , in turn, has a complete absence of "San Sebástian". Still no comments on the lack of accent on the proposed name.--Húsönd 00:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: At first, what is not true is that the festival uses, in English, the accent in San Sebastian. The official website, which is going to be updated shortly, is the only place that the festival uses the name Donostia-San Sebastian. In fact, this year the festival has changed his corporative image, and now it uses only San Sebastián in Spanish and Donostia in the basque version. In English always uses San Sebastian. You can see that in all of the press releases of the festival in English. And, for example, in the show of inauguration, the presenter always uses the name San Sebastian International Film Festival (San Sebastian pronounced in English, without Spanish accent).
