Main cast[edit]

Should Audrey Grace Marshall not be listed under main cast? She is listed in the opening credits of the show and appears in every episode, but her name gets removed when I add it to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:DD02:2400:0:0:0:8 (talk) 02:14, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She is definitely not credited as part of the main cast. She is credited as part of the guest starring cast only which means she is only a recurring character. — YoungForever^(talk) 02:29, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus that the TV series is the primary topic, per pageviews. (non-admin closure) VR _talk 19:05, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– I believe the television series has received enough traffic compared to the other pages on The Flight Attendant disambiguation page to be considered WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. vistadan 22:58, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, the adaptation has clearly eclipsed the source material here. BD2412 T 05:21, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Move The Flight Attendant (TV series) over The Flight Attendant, but dispense with the DAB. There are only two topics for "The Flight Attendant", i.e. The Flight Attendant (novel) and this. Page views show the TV series is more popular by an order of magnitude; for greater long-term significance, each is probably as likely as the other.

But with the title caps and the "The", it's too distant from flight attendant (which Flight Attendant targets), we don't (fortunately) have The flight attendant so we can serve readers better with a hatnote, e.g.

{{about|a TV series whose title character is a flight attendant|the novel on which it is based|The Flight Attendant (novel)}}

.

The hatnote at Flight attendant is getting quite long, so Flight attendant (disambiguation) (which can also include "The Flight Attendant") is probably a good idea. 162 etc. (talk) 15:35, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

I have a strong quibble with this show being labeled as a dark comedy. Sure there are funny moments. But this is a serious drama through and through. 2600:8806:9085:4400:4AB:8A5A:3492:5FE4 (talk) 09:50, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I really don't get the genre either, this show was hardly a comedy, it was pure drama and I might go WP:BOLD and remove the comedy-drama from the article if no one else does. Govvy (talk) 16:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
