EastEnders Live (2025 episode) → 40th Anniversary Week – While the live episode was initially announced as the entirety of the celebration, subsequent developments and coverage have made it clear that the entire 40th Anniversary Week is the actual notable event. The week as a whole has gained notability, which is demonstrated in the article itself as the only sources which focus exclusively on the live episode itself are the first few announcements, which were all that existed when this article was first created, making the article progressively more unfocused. It is now more accurate to present the week as a cohesive celebration, with the live episode as a key component, rather than focusing solely on the live broadcast. Many of the sources refer to this event as the "40th Anniversary Weeek", hence why it is the new name I have chosen. The live episode can still be covered in this article.

Support, I was actually going to propose this myself. However, I wanted to suggest EastEnders 40th Anniversary Week as there are various other soaps, TV programs and other factors that either already have articles or have them in development.

Thanks for the suggestion, I support EastEnders 40th Anniversary Week as the new title FishLoveHam (talk) 19:37, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I agree with DDOOL that using EastEnders in the title makes sense to quickly distinguish it between other shows with a 40th anniversary. It will serve a better purpose as a anniversary collective article at present. I really did think it was a joke the article was created so far in advance and with one source. At least it now has more sources and will continue to develop into something more.Rain the 1 22:47, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nominator. I would also go with EastEnders 40th Anniversary Week, which matches EastEnders Live Week for the 30th. - JuneGloom07 Talk 19:20, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I’m in agreement with the nomination. I’d actually put forward EastEnders 40 as a possible title in line with the promotional material released by the show (see [1] for an example). Soaper1234 - talk 22:30, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
