Requested move 1

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. The article at Dangerous Person on Street has no references and there is nothing to indicate that the program was ever titled 'Mind Games'. One of the main actors was Phyllis Quek, but her article and her personal web site don't mention the show. EdJohnston (talk) 13:38, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mind Games (2013 TV series) → Mind Games (TV series) – The actual page redirects to a Singaporean drama for no reason I am aware of. Billboard Man (talk) 01:16, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mind Games (1998 TV series) would be a viable redirect to that, per Macnut1996's comment. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 07:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The English name for the Singaporean drama is Mind Games. Do not know why the original article is renamed to its literal English translation Dangerous Person On Street. Marcnut1996 (talk) 11:31, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I turned Mind Games (TV series) into a redirect to Mind Games (disambiguation). As for the proposal, weak oppose. While there are no other articles with similar name, more precision is better for this soon-to-be less relevant series than ambiguous precision. --George Ho (talk) 22:10, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support as this is the only TV series by this name with an article. A hatnote to the dab will address potential confusion. --BDD (talk) 21:58, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Idea: What about Mind Games (US TV series)? ––Ɔ Ȿ♭ ௵ ☎ ℡ ☎ 16:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to Mind Games (US TV series) (and the other one can be pointed to from or renamed to Mind Games (Singapore TV series) / Mind Games (Singaporean TV series) ) -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 07:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 19:23, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mind Games (2013 TV series) → Mind Games (TV series) – Straightforward case of unnecessary disambiguation, as this article is the only article present on Wikipedia about a television series titled "Mind Games." Concerns made by oppose votes in last move request do not adequately reflect Wikipedia's article title guidelines.

Support - nominator makes a well presented argument that makes complete sense.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:50, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the previous move request indicated that the Sinaporean series also used this name, however, the Singaporean series article seems to have been deleted. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 05:52, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info -- Mind Games is a John Lennon album with hatnote for Mind Games (disambiguation).

Unsure -- Mind Games (disambiguation)#Television and film has another show on there (albeit w/o an article) called Mind Games. I'm unsure b/c I don't know if this is significant. I am leaning towards Support for this move as I doubt the show is notable.––Ɔ Ȿ♭ இ ☎ ℡ ☎ 20:20, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DVD

Since 13 eps were made, but only 5 broadcast in the US -- are all 13 available on DVD? Also, it seems like the show ended up more popular in Japan/UK than in the US, so viewership numbers etc for those places would be apppropriate?-96.233.20.34 (talk) 23:43, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
