The name of the show has the exclamation point, so the article should be under that title with a redirect (or disambiguation page) here. I think that's Wikipedia naming convention, and it's certainly common sense. -- isis 05:14 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)

I wondered about that when I made the redirect. Wasn't sure what the correct title was. -Jazz77
Most people looking up Jeopardy are looking for the game show. I'm going to have the title go to the game show with a disambiguation page. Theshibboleth 03:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Most people in THE UNITED STATES are looking for the game show. A disambiguation page here is the most neutral point of view. Do not take a short sighted view of things, which is sadly typical of my fellow Americans. Assuming that the American version of anything it what most people among the billions in the world are searching for clearly violates the WP:NPOV guidelines, specifically violating the Nationalistic bias point and additionaly violates most of the points listed at WP:CSB - simply put the American point of view is not a netutral point of view. The article as it stands now violates WP:NPOV as it seems to assume that people know at least what the show is and have at least seen it. The replaced redirect, as much of Wikipedia does, has an American bias, which the editors of this article and related articles simply don't even see they have. Theshibboleth and others who assume that most people would search for the American game show Jeopardy! simply proves this unspoken default bias. Given the chance, the bias needs to be removed as it will not only make Wikipedia have more of a neutral point of view, but may even educate Americans that our country is one of many and we have to get along with people from other places. One step towards greater global peace and understaning is to be more inclusive and take the chance to educate. The American user should find the disambguation list of The Price Is Right, as it will be the most neutral option and will remind them that there are things outside of the United States, something that is really needed, now more than ever.

[edit] Survey - in support of the move

  1. Support as nom. Tinlinkin 06:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  2. Support: the vast majority of people keying "Jeopardy" into the search box are looking for the TV game show "Jeopardy!". It might be different if Jeopardy (BBC TV series) were still in production, but it was cancelled in 2004. I think that if you key "Jeopardy" into the search box, you should be taken directly to Jeopardy! (the article on the game show) and then at the top of that article there should be a link to the disambiguation page, in case someone was actually looking for the cancelled BBC series, or the episode of NCIS, or the 1983 Greg Kihn Band song. --Mathew5000 07:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  3. Support Most are looking for the game show. Reywas92Talk 17:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move

  1. Oppose The BBC show is still running syndication and DVD sales. While the US TV show is certainly popular, it is non the less a US-centric bias primary. I honestly think that the legal concept of Jeopardy is the one universial primary but amazingly we only seem to have an article on Double Jeopardy. 205.157.110.11 13:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity, what is the legal concept "jeopardy"? Do people in law really talk about "jeopardy" as something distinct from the typical dictionary definition? Robert K S 16:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I think it is more common to hear double jeopardy. Vegaswikian 22:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
