The Texas Chainsaw Massacre → The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (disambiguation) — The problem here is the similar titles with different spellings, resulting in a messy article naming structure. To rationalise, I would propose that for the purpose of disambiguation, we should consider "Chain Saw" and "Chainsaw" as having been spelled the same, and create appropriate redirects for each spelling. In addition, I think that the franchise article, rather than the disambiguation page should be considered the Primary Topic as all the other articles are connected to this. Relisting.

Partial support - I am ok with moving the franchise page to just "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Everything else I disagree with. The exact title for the 1974 film is "Chain Saw" and thus if you type "Chain Saw" you're going straight to that page. It does not need to be disambiguated. The only thing that would need to be done would be a hatnote on the franchise page for someone who was looking for the 1974 film but instead got the franchise page because they forgot to put a space in "Chain Saw". I'm actually ok with how it currently is set up, but again at best I'm only supporting a franchise page move and not the 1974 film page move. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 16:18, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that the two films do have unique titles, and that if we follow the guidelines then you are of course correct. However, it's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (film) that sits a little uneasy with me. It doesn't seem disambiguated enough for people who may not appreciate the different spellings. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:32, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am ok with that going to "2003 film" so that it is more clear, but at the same time that is why we have hatnotes. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 17:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Partial support - I agree with Bignole, with the franchise page. With regards to Chain Saw (1974), I prefer to keep it that way, per the prior discussions on the article's talk page. Also note that it's currently at FAC.--Tærkast (Communicate) 16:47, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

oppose Although it is not its name, the 1974 film is the primary target. The franchise is not. --Bejnar (talk) 05:25, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree that tidying up is needed, but also agree that the 1974 film is the primary topic. Suggest relisting to discuss the alternatives. Andrewa (talk) 02:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've relisted rather than closing as no consensus. Fences&Windows 17:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could somebody close this please? It's been a couple of months and we're not getting anywhere.--Tærkast (Discuss) 11:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
