[edit] Suggested move

I suggest that we move this article to Predator (franchise) in order to be more inclusive of the various other aspects of the franchise besides the films (the comics, games, etc). This would be similar to the Star Wars article, which gives an overview and brief history of the franchise as a whole and serves as the parent/forking-off article for all the other articles related to specific branches of the franchise. I also suggest the same renaming of Category:Predator series to Category:Predator (franchise). The parent category for all things Alien-related has been changed to Category:Alien (franchise) after an AfD discussion, and this closely related franchise has a similar difficulty with naming that could be solved with an identical disambiguation. This move would mirror the inclusive renaming of the Alien category. Thoughts? If there are no objections, I will probably get around to moving this article in the next few days. --IllaZilla (talk) 20:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Since there were no objections, I've gone ahead with this move. This is part of a larger categorization/article moving project I'm undertaking (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Alien/Article categorization for more info)..Redirects will need to be fixed, but shortly all the Alien and Predator-related articles will at least be categorized properly. --IllaZilla (talk) 20:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
