Split between Web series and TV series? Or move to a different page?[edit]

I'm wondering if we should perhaps move the article to a different name, maybe Decker (series), to better be able to cover it's origins as a popular web series. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 10:05, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This should not need to be a WP:RFC, since a WP:RM would be much more appropriate. Either way, you don't need subsections - and even if they are used, they should be level 3, not level 2 as here. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decker (TV series) → Decker (video series) – to take into account that there is a preceding web series that could also be covered in the same article -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 12:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose For now. I can see how this is an example of a sort of mixed-media series which is starting to strain the typical definition of "TV series", but its still arranged into the season-episode paradigm, and is designed to be viewed on television (even if its delivered via the web like Netflix original series). Not opposed to any redirects being created which might help searching/navigation or to prevent duplicate articles being created. Also, the lead sentence uses "television series" and so the disambig should match that. Other TV series started as something else (The Simpsons was an interstitial short on The Tracey Ullman Show) or had made-for-tv movie spin-offs, and such history is freely included in the main TV series articles. -- Netoholic @ 23:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @Netoholic: My only issue is that the situation is different in that it was initiated via the web as a stand-alone series in it's own right, Simpsons was a sketch on TV program in the 1980s. Decker as a web series had it's own promotions and air dates. Also the Simpsons sketch didn't have any plot elements that carried over, the Decker series had many that did. So I'm wondering if that is the case then what should be done with the Decker web series? Should it be instead included at the On Cinema page? -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 23:49, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think web series ARE TV series - note that web series mentions in its lead that it is a part of web television. So even if this production was ever only on the web, I'd still say it should use (TV series) as a disambiguator. Plot, airings, and production information of the initial web content belong in this article under the current name, and of course a summary-style section probably should be included in On Cinema. -- Netoholic @ 12:16, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Mostly on the grounds that "video series" is a pretty bad disambiguator, in that it doesn't have a clear meaning. What about "(web & TV series)" instead? Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Beyond My Ken: per your comment I am oficially changing my proposition. I do agree it should be (web and TVseries)-- Gokunks (Speak to me) 08:12, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decker (TV series) → Decker (web & TV series) – (i withdrew the move to "video series") to take into account that there is a preceding web series that could also be covered in the same article -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 12:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - (see above comment in previous request - there was no need to close and reopen a new one) As web series are productions made for web television, WP:NCTV should be followed and the disambiguator is just (TV series), used alone as it already is. Information related to the web episodes and the broadcast episodes can all be included on this single article under the current title. -- Netoholic @ 23:16, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
