– The film is based on the novel which has the first priority. ~Moheen (keep talking) 17:59, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose - its not automatic that the original source is primary. Google Ngrams doesn't show an impact around the time of the 1929 book, but does show a rise since the time of the 1955 film, and the film article is consistently getting the most views. -- Netoholic @ 20:30, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment @Moheen Reeyad:, I'm unclear on your position. Is it that, since the novel (1929) is the basis of the film (1955), the novel should automatically be the primary topic? Zaathras (talk) 21:09, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Netoholic. When same-titled books and films have separate Wikipedia entries, each case is judged on its own merits. Some books {War and Peace, Les Misérables, The Scarlet Letter} are WP:PRIMARYTOPICS over the film versions. Other book titles {Gone with the Wind (novel)} are set on an equal footing with the film version {Gone with the Wind (film)} while still others {Forrest Gump (novel)} are overtaken by the film version {Forrest Gump}. Pather Panchali (novel) is one of the latter. It was not translated into English until 1968, thirteen years after the film achieved international recognition. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:31, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose, the film is one of the most critically acclaimed in the world and is primary over a little-known book. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:04, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
