Mighty Ducks (disambiguation) → The Mighty Ducks (disambiguation) – The Mighty Ducks (the media franchise) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC so the dab page should exist at that name with the (disambiguation) qualifier per MOS:DABPRIMARY. Mighty Ducks (disambiguation) will then redirect there. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)—Relisting. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:34, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the disambiguation page. It is not required: all the entries are already prominently linked from The Mighty Ducks except Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. I suggest a hatnote at The Mighty Ducks like {{redirect|Might Ducks|the hockey teams|Anaheim Ducks|and|Cincinnati Mighty Ducks}}. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:16, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:DABNAME "The simplest form of the term is preferred to those containing punctuation, diacritics and articles" however most entries do use "The" at least but Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series (which appears to be naturally disambiguated) doesn't.

Oppose per Crouch. Rreagan007 (talk) 03:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Crouch, Swale, but definitely DON'T DELETE the disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 04:39, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdewman6: MOS:DABPRIMARY says "When the primary topic article has a different title than the term being disambiguated, then the first line normally uses a redirect from the ambiguous term to link to that article:". The consensus at the RM was to use the title without "The" so it should be linked without the "The". Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I will revert my reversion. Thanks for the note. Mdewman6 (talk) 18:05, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

– No clear primary topic, the franchise has 11,437 views but the film has 11,928, Game Changers has 7,266, The Animated Series has 3,954, Cincinnati Mighty Ducks has 956, D2: The Mighty Ducks has 7,685, D3: The Mighty Ducks has 5,898 and Anaheim Ducks has 31,831[[1]]. Given some of these meanings are unrelated I think its best to have no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:02, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. There are eight entries listed upon the Mighty Ducks (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the article delineating the franchise dwarfs the combined prominence of the remaining seven entries. Thus The Mighty Ducks would redirect to the renamed Mighty Ducks dab page instead of Mighty Ducks redirecting, as it currently does, to The Mighty Ducks. If, however, consensus would prefer a separate main title header for The Mighty Ducks with a hatnote pointing to the Mighty Ducks dab page, I would not object to such an alternative option. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:18, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support 1st, oppose second. Per my comments at previous RM above, "The Mighty Ducks" should remain the primary topic for the term with definite article. I agree just the term "mighty ducks" likely does not have a primary topic and can simply host the dab page, but would also be okay with the status quo of it redirecting to "The Mighty Ducks".

Oppose, doesn't appear WP:BROKE to me. 162 etc. (talk) 18:31, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
