Requested move 24 March 2024

The following is a closed 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus that the 1991 series remains the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. (closed by non-admin page mover) ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 18:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rugrats → Rugrats (1991 TV series)
Rugrats (franchise) → Rugrats

– There is a 2021 TV series called "Rugrats" (which already has a page), so the new primary topic appears to be the franchise and not the 1991 TV show 134.199.113.124 (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose, OP presents no evidence to support his/her case. The original series appears to be the primary topic, both by pageviews and long-term notability. 162 etc. (talk) 01:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unrelated, but you know you can just use "their" instead of "his/her" when you don't know someone's gender, btw. It's not ungrammatical at all; English has been using the singular 'they' since the 1300s in sentences like "Someone left their umbrella. I'll try to find them but I don't know where they went."

Oppose - Similar to SpongeBob SquarePants with SpongeBob SquarePants (franchise) and Avatar: The Last Airbender with Avatar: The Last Airbender (franchise), there's really no point of a move. kpgamingz (rant me) 17:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support 1st oppose 2nd, move the DAB to the base name as no primary topic given the generic use. The 1991 one has 31,802 views, the 2021 one has 17,814, the film series has 1,220, the franchise has 764, the comic strip has 130, the band has 17 and Toddler has 14,114.

Oppose. The original show is still the apex of the franchise, so there'd be no real point in a move unless the reboot lasts for years and years (not very likely). And anyway, as of right now, Rugrats (franchise) is mostly just a list of content already described at Rugrats#Franchise, so it's not like swapping the pages around would really improve things. Nohomersryan (talk) 02:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose – Per all above. The 1991 show is clearly the most relevant topic. Svartner (talk) 14:19, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rugrats tales from the crib three jacks and a beanstock aired on TV in November 2006 shouldn’t this count as the final episode since it was a special 2600:1008:B1AE:2E29:9DA6:64C:1E65:2278 (talk) 07:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
