Page name[edit]

Shouldn't the page name be Law & Order True Crime? The show is called True Crime and season 1 is called The Menendez Murders. Sticking with standard formatting, the page should be about the show not just the one season, and then if there is a second season, the first one can move to its own page. - GalatzTalk 17:30, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Galatz: We don't know if there will even be a second season, and the limited series/first season is called "Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders" on nbc.com so that seems to be the full name of this limited series/the first season. It is referred to as both a limited series or the first season in an anthology series in reliable sources. This article is just about the first season/limited series like The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, not the overall anthology series (if it gets additional seasons) like American Crime Story. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:16, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose if it gets additional season, then an overall Law & Order True Crime page can be created. And if it doesn't get additional seasons, then it can be considered a limited series with just this page. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:24, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
See here [1]. The first season deals with Menendez. If a show only has one season, its not called XXXXX (season 1), its just called XXXXXX. The OJ Simpson special proves my point. American Crime Story was created in 2014 and The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story was created in 2016, once it had more than one announced. - GalatzTalk 18:26, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Galatz: Ok, I see your point. If others agree then I will not object to the article being moved. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Article should be moved from Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders to → Law & Order: True Crime – The Menendez Murders. Best, --Discographer (talk) 21:40, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Discographer: Um...why? I've seen that styling of the name used in several unofficial sources, but just as many unofficial sources and the official sources (nbc.com official twitter) use Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders. Bennv3771 (talk) 01:39, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bennv3771: Disregard my message then, the NBC link is the most official. Good to know. Best, --Discographer (talk) 01:56, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders → Law & Order: True Crime – "The Menendez Murders" doesn't belong in that title. AdamDeanHall (talk) 13:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@AdamDeanHall: Ok, but is "Law & Order: True Crime" the official styling? It seems to be "Law & Order True Crime" without the colon. See nbc.com. Bennv3771 (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per my comments above, but I believe without the colon is how they are using it - GalatzTalk 17:41, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support and agree with the last two comments; it should be titled "Law & Order True Crime" without the colon. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:698C:AA53:E4CB:8EF3 (talk) 20:53, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Law & Order True Crime → Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders – At first I was for getting rid of the subtitle, but now I'm thinking differently. Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. The series will premiere in two months and at this it is unknown if Law & Order True Crime will get a second season. Should it get a second season, I would be for keeping the article at or moving it back to "Law & Order True Crime". But right now, it is unknown if that is happening, and plus, for the first season, all the information can fit on one page anyway. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:506B:6549:5A72:E3D2 (talk) 20:03, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Against - Per the RS above [2] the series is without the season name. We don't create XXXXX (season 1), its just called XXXXXX, for shows during their first season. Why should this be any different? - GalatzTalk 17:53, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Against - I agree with @Galatz:. Per RS above. Why would we change procedure without discussion of change of procedure? - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 13:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The series ended[edit]

It's obvious that the series actually ended, not on hiatus.-- Happypillsjr ✉ 00:35, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
