Talk:Carmen Sandiego

Article history
This article original covered the character of Carmen Sandiego. It was cut-and-paste moved to Carmen Sandiego (character) about April 2. I've corrected this by moving the older history to that article. This article was not written from scratch on April 2, so shares some lineage with the other article, but the preponderance of the edits belong under the character, so have been selectively moved there.

Facebook Game
I haven't gotten sucked into it (yet) but I recently noticed Carmen Sandiego game updates popping up on friends' profiles. I'd venture to guess it's similar to Farmville and all those type games. --Brendanmccabe (talk) 23:52, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Requested move 28 April 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

– With the recent tv show, and fans of the 1990s shows, there is a wide population of people who knows Carmen Sandiego (TV show) mainly over the 80s and 90s video games. When people search now, they probably refer to the tv shows, not necessarily the video games. The primary topic has shifted so that the it refers to the franchise rather than the specific games. 173.70.246.84 (talk) 11:58, 28 April 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Carmen Sandiego (franchise) → Carmen Sandiego
 * Carmen Sandiego → Carmen Sandiego (video game series)
 * Oppose The TV shows have not had that much of a significant impact to affect that the video game series is the originating work for Carmen Sandiego - everything else is a spinoff of it. --M asem (t) 12:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Pageviews for TV series and video game series are close (|Carmen_Sandiego|Carmen_Sandiego_(TV_series)) and the franchise article would be a good landing spot. Resident Evil does it this way, I'd say it's a good comparison. 162 etc. (talk) 15:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Makes sense to have the OVERALL franchise article at the basename and not just the subset franchise of video games. Paintspot Infez (talk) 16:30, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The views are similar, 120,658 for the TV series, 96,173 for the video game series and 10,089 for the franchise so the franchise might qualify as a broad concept article but otherwise support moving the DAB to the base name.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 08:01, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Per nom. It's hard to say the video games are the main topic at this point.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:30, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
