Star (Disney) → Star (Disney+) – The page will talk about how the Star brand fits into Disney+. Star (as a whole) also includes Fox Channel (Latin American TV channel) which will rebrand to Star in 2021. Furthermore, the current title would not make the distinction between Star in Disney+ for most markets and Star+ which is only available in Latin America (which does have its own Wikipedia page: Star+ and includes live sports from ESPN (Latin America). With the current name, Star+ and Star India would have to be explained on the page as both carry the same name and are owned by Disney. By renaming the article Star (Disney+), the scope of the page is clear and concise and the page will only have to focus on the Star tile in Disney+ in Western Europe, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and soon Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Eastern Europe (which does not have Disney+ yet) when Star will launch in these countries.

 * Inclined to oppose as unnecessarily precise disambiguation – the overall company is Disney, so the article should stay where it is. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:11, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support There's quite a few Stars relating to Disney, so Disney+ might make it more clear — Preceding unsigned comment added by Squid45 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Squid45. There are many different Disney businesses and services using the "Star" name so this new disambiguation will make it clear that this article is about the Disney+ tile. - Brojam (talk) 05:20, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support I feel it better reflects the purpose of the article and reduced unambiguity. Steven a91 (talk) 20:40, 15 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Support Star (Disney+) will perfectly illustrate what the article is about. We have Star India and their related channels across the world where Star is going to be available which is UK, STAR India operates Hotstar and a number of Linear channel under the same name and its the same in Singapore as well.

Creation of Wiki List for Original, Exclusive Titles thats Star is gonna Stream
As Disney announced at the Investor meeting, Star will be carrying 35 first run TV shows. Most of the FX on Hulu, Hulu shows are exclusive to the platform itself. Also Disney announced, in each and every market, Star will be producing original content. So it make sense to have a Wiki List page created for Star and Star+. It will also help to reduce the burden where Star and Disney+ are both integrated on Hotstar (India, Indonesia and many South Asian Markets where its gonna launch) to just link the Wiki List pages to Hotstar ones just as Disney+ pages were linked. Also we cannot rely on Hulu pages as well, where they made it clear that Hulu Originals from Outside studios are gonna be on this service. Saichaitanya4496 (talk) 07:03, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

How to incorporate original programming
There us an active discussion about this on the Disney+ original programming talk page. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 17:20, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Unexpected tag being inserted at top of article
There is an unexpected  tag being inserted into the lead of the article, causing the top / lead to look odd. Can an editor please investigate, if they have the time, the root cause of this issue? I've tried everything, and nothing seems to be working. I managed to find the revision where the issue first started appearing though; it started happening with article revision 1001846760 (link). Can you investigate what may have happened that started inserting the  tag? The edit you made seems to be pretty harmless but something with your edit caused the article's lead formatting to start inserting that tag. - Kamran Mackey (talk to me · my contributions) 12:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I figured it out. Added back the `ended` parameter and that fixed the  tag being inserted into the article's HTML source. No idea why that fixed it, as that's a really, really weird bug to encounter, especially in an infobox template, but the fact that that fixed the issue makes me happy regardless. This discussion can be ignored. 🙂 - Kamran Mackey (talk to me · my contributions) 13:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Splitting proposal
I propose the section Star (Disney+) be split into a separate page called List of Star (Disney+) original programming. The list in the section is too long. - St3095  (?)  08:49, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I started a draft article a while ago. I think it might be of appropriate length now so we can look to move it to the article space soon. Apd9696 (talk) 09:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I support moving the original programming (including the exclusive international distribution rights) to its own page but I think the page should be named 'List of Star (Disney+) original programming so that the name is consistent with the main article Virin1009 (talk) 07:43, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support and agree with Virin1009 about the page name. - Brojam (talk) 08:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the suggestion, I have moved the page to Draft:List of Star (Disney+) original programming. Apd9696 (talk) 09:16, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's been over a month and there's a clear consensus to split with no objections so I think we can proceed. could you update your draft to match the info from the current article and then it can be moved to the mainspace. - Brojam (talk) 21:01, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've updated the draft and will move it to the mainspace now. A PD   (hmu) 09:38, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
