Mirror's Edge (2010 video game)Mirror's Edge (mobile game) – This, I think, is a better disambiguation option as it doesn't rely on users knowing what year the original game released in before selecting an article from the search results. Mirror's Edge (mobile), an already existing redirect to this article, is another option worth considering, though I wouldn't assume that everyone knows that "mobile" alone refers to a type of video game and think including "game" better clarifies that. It's also worth noting that, in contrast to this current title, Mirror's Edge (2008 video game) doesn't currently exist as of this message (perhaps it should regardless of the outcome of this discussion).

  • Oppose Per WP:NCVGDAB which states that this form of naming is to be used except in the case of platform-specific versions where the year would remain ambiguous. (i.e. If Mirrors Edge and its mobile version were both released in 2010, it would be named like that, but they were released in different years). However, because the original Mirrors Edge is the obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC it does not require disambiguation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 13:03, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I don't think NCVGDAB is being helpful to readers in this case. Someone looking for this article would be much more likely to know that it was a mobile game than the year of its release I would think. Of the five core criteria for titling articles, I think the proposed title is clear winner for recognisability, naturalness and precision, a wash on concision and only consistency favours the current title.
