Coming to America (film series)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It is completely unnecessary for there to be a film series article just because one film got a sequel. To quote from the AfD for A Quiet Place (film series), "such articles are simply consolidations of details from individual film articles. With two films, when comparing details, a reader can go from one article to another easily. With three films, a reader can go from an individual film's article to the film series article to readily see how all three films compare. For a similar comparison, per MOS:FILM, we don't have director navboxes if there are only two films because there's no need for that bird's-eye view if there is only one other topic." The relevance of the TV pilot is also exaggerated since it was an unsold pilot. We do not need to set a precedent for having a "film series" article for every film and its sequel.

 * Delete Two films do not make a series. Everything at that article is redundant to the individual film articles. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 04:29, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree with the above, no real point to this article, just because a film has a sequel doesn't mean it's a film franchise. MJ9674 (talk) 14:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete I agree with removal, unless, it can be shown that the series includes more than the two films and one pilot. In particular, Murphy's comment regarding a future to the series indicates this is where it will end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASuperEditor (talk • contribs) 20:04, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete, per all of the above. No need for a separate series article. Robofish (talk) 21:02, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete — clear overkill here. —Joeyconnick (talk) 21:28, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Per all of the above as its purely overkill. Kaizenify (talk) 18:50, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Just because a film has a duology, doesn't mean it warrants a film series article when all the film series information is already clearly presented and written in both of the separate articles. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 17:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
