Welcome to Derry → Welcome to Derry: From the World of It – Max recently announced the full title of the series (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X6yoTKa58Qw). Viper688 (talk) 17:23, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose for having an irrelevant rationale. Wikipedia does not have a general preference for inclusion of subtitles or taglines. In contrast, Wikipedia prefers WP:CONCISE titles. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Not a book but WP:SUBTITLE applies for the same reasons here. Including the subtitle is WP:OVERPRECISE when a nice concise title will do the job as stated above. Now, if there was another Welcome to Derry page somewhere in the encyclopedia, this would be a good WP:NATURAL disambiguation alternative, but until then, keep it where it is. -2pou (talk) 18:27, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I don't see any evidence that is the official title, only a marketing subtitle. We should wait until an official poster or, hell really anything official about the series, before making moves. It's not even completed production yet. Mike Allen 18:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Working title

Should we make this known in the lead sentence (or somewhere else)? Per Deadline. Mike Allen 23:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't seem like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter call it a working title in the past day or two, so maybe leave as it is? It seems a little odd that only Deadline called it that. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 03:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Max

The article wrongly states "it was previously slated to stream on Max". It still is. I live in Finland and Max is literally promoting the streaming service by showing a teaser of the series on TV every single commercial break. Someone please correct this. The official IT handle on Twitter also confirms this, as does Max's official YouTube teaser trailer for the series.The single source talking about HBO and Max doesn't have any of its own sources included in it and probably just a confused journalist.85.23.75.208 (talk) 17:23, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First sentences

Here, I revised the lead section's first sentences to mention the novel and the films upfront, over the crew members. Below are policies and guidelines as to why:

MOS:OPEN: "The first paragraph should define or identify the topic with a neutral point of view, but without being too specific. It should establish the context in which the topic is being considered by supplying the set of circumstances or facts that surround it."
MOS:FIRST:

"The first sentence should tell the nonspecialist reader what or who the subject is, and often when or where."
"For topics notable for only one reason, this reason should usually be given in the first sentence."

MOS:CONTEXTLINK: "The first sentence should provide links to the broader or more elementary topics that are important to the article's topic or place it into the context where it is notable."
WP:UNDUE: "Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to the depth of detail, the quantity of text, prominence of placement, the juxtaposition of statements, and the use of imagery." (emphasis mine)

At the very beginning, a reader will know how the series fits. Naming the people developing the series is relatively secondary. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Release date

Hi, this is still releasing 2025. Not 2026 those rumors were debunked. and plus there is 0 reason to delay this to a whole other year. BrendanG2004 (talk) 19:43, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok. Thanks for the feedback. We will be sure to credit BrendanG2004 as the reliable source. Mike Allen 01:26, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TVLine stated they confirmed with HBO that the series is still coming out in 2025. I included the URL below and it is at the very end of the article. The ScreenRant article below also mentions that it is still slated to come out 2025 per TVLine.

Screen Rant is just using the TV line source to make an article. They don’t do original reporting. Mike Allen 08:57, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
