21 Jump Street → 21 Jump Street (television series) – Both this television series and the later movie remake are both very notable. The film actually gets more page views. Feel like neither is the true primary topic RedPatch (talk) 13:34, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning oppose. What would we do with the base page name? These are not unrelated topics, so should not be disambiguated, meaning that we would need an article on the franchise at that title. However, the movies are an adaptation of the TV series (including cameo callbacks in the films), so unless there are further iterations, I think the current setup is sufficient.

Oppose. In cases like these, either the franchise or the original is the primary topic. A DAB page that only lists two topics, would be pointless. The TV show was very successful and the movie series is set in its continuity and has some of the original characters, so it's the primary topic or a good landing spot. (Also, television series isn't a disambiguation used, it would be tv series.) --Quiz shows 20:09, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The franchise isn’t very large. It’s the original television show and then the films that were made to pay homage to the original television show. The disambiguation seems unnecessary with the already available notice at the top of the article that directs to the film. If there were significantly more works in the franchise then I could see the distinction being warranted and turning the page into a directory for the articles, but the notice at the top seems fine for now. 4theloveofallthings (talk) 20:17, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is a franchise article at Jump Street (originally titled 21 Jump Street (franchise).) 162 etc. (talk) 21:20, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. One originated the other, and even then, the series was notable for arguably launching the career of Johnny Depp, which makes it rather notable. Steel1943 (talk) 23:34, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
