Three Girls (miniseries) → Three Girls – The TV series averages ~2000 hits/day; Three Girls (painting) ~30/day, De tribus puellis ~33/day. Hatnotes are enough. Timmyshin (talk) 19:11, 29 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The miniseries is of current interest, but who knows if it will last? I am not opposed to creating a dab page. Srnec (talk) 23:27, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to recentism. I created a disambiguation page though, at Three Girls (disambiguation), if it should be at Three Girls then that's for another discussion to decide! — anemone projectors — 10:15, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support The term "miniseries" implies fiction and does not do justice to the fact that the film follows the true story even to the extent of using court transcripts verbatim. 86.170.121.156 (talk) 09:49, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Reply I haven't watched it but I believe it's a drama based on real-life events, rather than a documentary. This discussion is to establish if this series is the primary topic over De tribus puellis, to which Three Girls currently redirects. If "miniseries" is the wrong disambiguator, that's not a reason to make it the primary topic. — anemone projectors — 14:07, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not the primary topic. SarahSV (talk) 23:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose. as all above In ictu oculi (talk) 13:59, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Differentiating between real-life and dramatization
I feel this article should at least mention that the eponymous 'Three Girls'; Holly, Amber and Ruby; are not three specific, distinct individuals but rather they are 'composite characters' developed to protect the identity of victims and to represent the wider experiences of the many victims of the Rochdale grooming scandal. This distinction is particularly relevant given that the other characters appearing in the drama series are based on real-life people (perpetrators, police, prosecutors) involved in the case.
