The David S. Pumpkins Animated Halloween Special → The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special – "Animated" isn't actually in the name. JE98 (talk) 13:16, 5 November 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943  (talk) 16:13, 17 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment: NBC has the title listed the way it currently is. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 13:21, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Solve this by merging to David S. Pumpkins. I don't see this one special as having lasting encyclopedic value beyond the character itself. -- Netoholic @ 13:04, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I disagree. The special has had significant coverage from reliable sources, separate from just David S. Pumpkins coverage. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 13:50, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * "significant" ... only from an extremely narrow time window of perspective. The special caused only about half the blip as his appearance in 2016. -- Netoholic @ 17:07, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Notability is not temporary. There are sufficient sources. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 21:32, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Is this special really covered so significantly? I think the coverage is far more about the outlandish character, not the Special. The Special has less coverage than your average local high school football team. -- Netoholic @  04:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * First of all, that high school football team doesn't really matter and may in fact be notable. Also, there are plenty of sources on the special (which, of course, include a mention of the character): Slate, Bustle, AV Club, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 13:05, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep the way it is, per my above comments. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 13:50, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Move. The word "Animated" does not appear in the on-screen title of the show. Per WP:TITLE, that's not dispositive. But the on-screen title, The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special, gets about 113,000 Google hits, compared to 22,800 Google hits for the not-on-screen title, The David S. Pumpkins Animated Halloween Special. If one title is both used on screen and almost five times as common as the other, the more common title should win per WP:NCTV: "As is the general practice across Wikipedia, the article title for any topic related to television should be simply the most common word or phrase used to describe that topic." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:23, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Move per reasons listed by User:Metropolitan90 above. Paintspot Infez (talk) 02:45, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
