Oppose for now. This needs a systematic discussion on the naming convention consensus on the articles of the main series/movie and the overall franchise. Cfls (talk) 21:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, for a number of reasons. First, the series (and the franchise media generally) is centered on a character, and there is indeed a Dora the Explorer (character) article, which could conceivably be the primary topic of the term. Second, the original TV series is now just one of many instances of media centered on the character. BD2412T15:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, since it was a television show first. Why should it be the franchise that should get more notability? There needs to be some changes in the articles if so, if the page for the overall franchise has far more detail. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 05:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, someone searching Dora the Explorer could be looking for the character, series, books, video games or soundtrack. It could be all directed from the franchise article, but a series ended 10 years ago won't have that kind of notability. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 05:48, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. While I appreciate the attempt to systematize things at WP:NCTV, I don't think a simple, objective rule is possible; it always comes down to the relative importance of the TV series and franchise (though perhaps some guidelines on how to compare them, if well-formulated, could be useful). At this point, the franchise definitely seems more important to me based on overall real-world usage. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠04:38, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
