The Red Road → The Red Road (TV series) – The new 2014 "Western" series takes the name of the native American concept of The red road, but "The Red Road" is usually capitalized in books. Not quite sure why the en.wp article doesn't capitalize. In any event the TV series needs to move out of the way, but what should be done with The Red Road? Should (1) it redirect to the red road or (2) redirect to a new The Red Road (disambiguation)? Or (3) The Red Road slot become a new dab? Or (4) should the red road → move to be capitalized as The Red Road? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:52, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - after another look at Google Books of the four options I now favor (4), it seems that "the red road" uncapitalized is often a reference to communism, while Native American sources always capitalize the Red Road, just as Mother Earth is capitalized. So I would also propose the red road → The Red Road as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:02, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I had it as TV series but someone decided that I hadn't done prior research and decided to move it to it's current form. Encmetalhead (talk) 13:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Not a good case for WP:DIFFCAPS, though moving The red road would make that a moot point. I wonder, though, if the Native American concept really fits WP:THE. I suspect it doesn't, but there's a dab at Red Road—where does that come into play? --BDD (talk) 17:29, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted, no need (2)(3) to create a new dab then? So option (5) is redirect The Red Road to Red Road. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:21, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
