The Incredibles (film series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Taking to AFD since PROD was removed. This article is premature when two feature films on their own are not a series. No prejudice against recreation if a third one is made, but it's too soon to say whether that will happen. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep, but rename The Incredibles (franchise), as there's a video game and two shorts. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:06, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Not sure if shorts count for anything, but it seems misleading to say something with a video game and two movies is a franchise as that term implies more content is included (i.e. shows, three or more movies). Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:39, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It is referred to as such in the Variety article "How ‘Incredibles’ Became Animation’s Hottest Franchise" and in this Washington Post article and others. It's also pretty much guaranteed that there'll be an Incredibles 3. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:42, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Even if anybody has deemed it a franchise, let's not jump the gun on whether a 3rd movie will be released per WP:CRYSTAL when that hasn't yet been confirmed. Snuggums (talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 03:37, 20 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep and rename per above - Even though it only has 2 films so far, the series A) is called a franchise in RS (noted above), and B) has extra content outside of the main film series to justify a separate article, in my opinion. Nanophosis (talk) 02:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename as per above, franchise is probably a better word than series.--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 00:23, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename "franchise" as per previous comments. ₪Rick n Asia₪ 07:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename The Incredibles franchise. The term is used in the Book description of associate products. Two movies, several short films, many games, massive value, the word "franchise" is easily justified.  No need for parentheses.  Franchise is better than series because the franchise contains much more than just the series of two movies.   --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:40, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * "xxx (franchise)" seems to be the standard title format, e.g. Halo (franchise), The Matrix (franchise), Alien (franchise), even XXX (franchise). Clarityfiend (talk) 08:59, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but this one *has* been called The Incredibles franchise, and WP:Natural is preferred over parenthetical. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:26, 24 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Many series which just have two installment, no tv series, such as Kingsman (film series), is still count as a series.Giangkiefer (talk)
 * Keep but two RS calling it a franchise don't make it one. w umbolo   ^^^  11:58, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I say keep the article, but rename it The Incredibles (franchise) as other Pixar series articles that only have two films (Monsters Inc. (franchise) and Finding Nemo (franchise)) are like this. Zucat (talk) 03:24, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Drafity so it can be improved. --  Alex TW 02:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename as per above suggestions. The franchise currently incorporates films, video games and shorts. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 05:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per above. Plenty of material for an article, but not all of it film. /Julle (talk) 10:06, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to The Incredibles (franchise) per numerous comments above. Specifically, Zucat's examples of Monsters Inc. (franchise) and Finding Nemo (franchise) are sound precedents. — Satori Son 19:10, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
