Requested move 14 July 2018

 * 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. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not moved with no prejudice against speedy renomination should this survive its AfD nomination. It's best if the article is left at this name while the discussion is ongoing.  Anarchyte ( work  &#124;  talk )  11:29, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

The Courier (micro-series) → The Courier (miniseries) – "Micro-series" is barely a "thing", and is certainly an incorrect disambiguation term under WP:NCTV. The Courier (miniseries) is probably a better choice in this case than The Courier (TV series). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:05, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I support any change that moves this from micro-series, which is not a thing. This format of short episodes forming one unit has been along for a while with mentions in articles such as Heroes calling it minisodes, The Flash calling it four-episode series of shorts and Lost calling it mobisodes. I'm OK with miniseries and also OK with a future discussion trying to find a word to better describe these. --Gonnym (talk) 21:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:NCTV. jamacfarlane (talk) 23:47, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * but I note that the article still refers to it as a "micro-series" and I think this should be changed before the page move. jamacfarlane (talk) 23:48, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That's easy to fix after the move. I actually wouldn't remove "micro-series" from the article anyway (it even properly links to micro-series) – I just would supplement the lede with something along the lines of "...a miniseries of television shorts..." --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:34, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * micro-series was created by the same editor on the same day, and those were their only edits. I don't think either of these is a legitimate encyclopedic topic. -- Netoholic @ 15:48, 18 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose and move to The Courier (film) - that's how the one mainstream source (LA Times) refers to it. Personally, think this needs to be deleted (or merged somewhere). It was essentially a short film commercial for Pontiac with a narrative element broken up into commercial-length segments. One line within a mainstream news source doesn't mean it meets WP:NTV. -- Netoholic @ 09:32, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Netoholic, The Courier (film) is already taken for a 2012 film, so I propose either:
 * The Courier (micro-series) → The Courier (TV advert) or
 * The Courier (film) → The Courier (2012 film) and
 * The Courier (micro-series) → The Courier (2006 film)

 * Oh then I straight oppose because I don't want to displace a legitimate topic for this thing until it survives an AfD. -- Netoholic @ 15:48, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
