TPB AFK → TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard – "TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard" is the documentary's official title, so it only makes sense to have the article be named after the official title. 90.232.66.157 (talk) 18:27, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

- No, because it is actually most often referred to with the subtitle (even often referred to by the subtitle, without the first part). That's not the case here. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:10, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose per WP:CONCISE. We don't have a principle to use the longest possible title for a work (and a policy to prefer the short, when there's not a WP:RECOGNIZABLE problem in doing so). Unless there's a good reason not to, we use the most common name found in reliable sources, and we don't add on subtitles unnecessarily. (MOS:SUBTITLE). I don't see any evidence that the long version is the WP:COMMONNAME. That said, I also don't see a WP:PRECISE argument to make against it, other than perhaps that we need not be any more precise than is actually necessary. It's correct that whether it's "official" or not is meaningless on Wikipedia. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:10, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
