Zombie (Resident Evil) → Zombies in Resident Evil – The title of this article is not exactly correct. "Zombie" is not the name of a character, but a type of monster. A generic kind of monster, that did not originate from the work itself. To be precise, the article is about the use of zombies IN Resident Evil, not the character "Zombie" from Resident Evil.

 * Support: I think the nominator's rationale is sound. Zombie (Resident Evil) could still be helpful as a search term. Haleth (talk) 04:29, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support - Nominator's reasoning is sound. Not a fan of using brackets for disambiguation when the same disambiguation can be achieved more naturalistically either. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 10:23, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Support - Given there's no one particular "zombie" in RE, this new title makes more sense. --M asem (t) 15:00, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, made sense. enjoyer|talk 23:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Good work on the rewrite, guys!  Dark knight  2149  07:08, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I've already added that source into the article a few hours ago. Might look into expanding the prose with its contents eventually, or if someone else feels like giving it a go. ;-) Haleth (talk) 07:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

idk
I get your summary User:Haleth (I'm sorry, I don't know how to ping), just thought it was an old source. But, shouldn't Lycans will also be mentioned on it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.149.124.50 (talk) 10:55, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The issue here is not because of questions about the reliability or age of the source. It’s because it does not contain any discussion which link the Lycans to the franchise’s traditional zombies. The not-quite-zombie creatures which are listed on the article are present because the secondary sources cited do discuss them within the context of zombies. We now know that there is a great diversity of monstrous creatures in Village just like in the earlier games, but at least one source (PCGamesN) identified the moroi as the closest equivalent to traditional zombies. Hope that helps. Haleth (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The guy moved the title name of this article into Zombies (Resident Evil) without consensus. 49.149.113.40 (talk) 12:09, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
