Logo

Are we sure this is the show's actual/official logo? It would seem Deadline just found a random image of the Continental's in-universe logo from the previous films. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:41, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The original Deadline image is cropped here. The rest of the image is definitely not from the films--more like artwork. It's credited to Lionsgate in its caption on the article, but I have no clue if it's an official logo or anything... -2pou (talk) 21:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Title

As per my edit summary, I have restored the undiscussed move per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. Though WP:SUBTITLE is primarily based around the naming convention for books, it also clarifies that the same concept applies to "other media"; as an example, it's why we don't include "Marvel's ___" before each Marvel media entry. -- Alex_21_TALK 23:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Alex 21: I would be inclined to agree if The Continental were not a DAB page and there was no need to disambiguate the series, but this is not the case. Per WP:NATURAL, natural disambiguation is always preferred to parenthetical disambiguation. This is why we have Solo: A Star Wars Story (note that Rogue One omits the subtitle because it needs no disambiguation, as does Hobbs & Shaw), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, etc. This doesn't contravene WP:SUBTITLE, which directly references WP:NATURAL and states that When the most commonly used name is ambiguous, the full title and subtitle might be suitable to be used as a form of natural disambiguation. Only if a subtitle is insanely long, for instance in the case of Birds of Prey (2020 film), should we consider using parenthetical disambiguation instead. Marvel Television shows do not include "Marvel's" because editors argued that it would be too ambiguous (e.g. Marvel's Daredevil could refer to either the series or the character).

Those are interesting cases, and a fair enough explanation. I've reverted the move. -- Alex_21_TALK 03:29, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Angie Han's Review

Angie's review is paraphrased as "Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter found it to be a decent show, apart from the casting of Mel Gibson.". If you read her review, she explicitly states that she thinks Mel's performance is great but that she doesn't like him as a person. Our paraphrasal here makes it seem like the opposite. Can we either reword her review or remove it in favor of a more clear review from elsewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.20.115.59 (talk) 17:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
