Name

Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur or just Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur? It was moved to the current title on Feb 10 by User:Kp2016rockin, and now User:JDDJS wants to move it back. User:Trailblazer101 also wanted it moved to Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (TV series). As this is not uncontroversial, I've twice declined a speedy deletion of a redirect to allow a move. Please discuss to reach consensus. Fences&Windows 22:28, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. The official poster seemed to call it "Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur," as does the Twitter profile of one of the supervising directors, but... an article on the official blog calls it "Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" as does Deadline, another Marvel article, as does Titmouse, and Flying Bark. So, I think the current name should stay. Also, we need some better sources for the page. Historyday01 (talk) 03:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 February 2023

Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil DinosaurMoon Girl and Devil Dinosaur – It's considered standard policy to not include Marvel in the title for Marvel television series. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter (TV series), Runaways (TV series) and Avengers Assemble (TV series) just to show a few examples. No reason as to why this should be considered any different.

Honestly, I'd be fine with changing it to "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur", at this point, as long as the first sentence says this instead:

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, also known as Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, is an American animated television series based on the characters of the same name by Marvel Comics.

After all, Marvel calls it by "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" as does Collider, ComicBook, Gizmodo, CBR, The Verge, Los Angeles Magazine while Disney calls it "Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" as does CBR, IGN, Newsweek, CNET, to name a few sources. I think "Moon Girl" may be another name, but it may just be a shorthand, and is not commonly used. So, in sum, yes, I support the move.--Historyday01 (talk) 13:39, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Considering the previous discussion this topic, a while back, @Fences&Windows, @User:Kp2016rockin, and @User:Trailblazer101, your thoughts on the proposal by JDDJS would definitely be helpful so we can reach a consensus. Historyday01 (talk) 00:40, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur should be the title per WP:COMMONNAME and since this appears to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Turns out the "(TV series)" DAB was not needed from the start. The lede should start with "Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, or simply Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur," given it is officially used by Disney+ and on the main Marvel.com page, much like the other Marvel Television series as noted above, and is still being referred to as such based on this Deadline interview from two days ago, so it doesn't appear this is a Hit-Monkey situation where they dropped the "Marvel's" branding.

Move: Having watched the show, it's apparent that the Marvel logo is not necessarily part of the title, but just a branding thing. Voicebox64 (talk) 04:40, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support move. As with similar cases, "Marvel's" is not part of the common name. O.N.R. (talk) 05:24, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
