• Ghost Recon → Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
  • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon → Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (video game) — disambig from the series
• Rainbow Six → Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six → Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (video game) — disambig from the series

— These articles is about video game series under the Tom Clancy brand, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell respectively, and should be named as such. Note also that the terms Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Slinter Cell can have other meanings then the video game series. —MrStalker ^talk 07:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

• Comment. No particular opinion whether "Tom Clancy's" should be prepended, but I object to the proposed organization. There are many game series which follow the similar pattern: FooBar becomes a big hit on the 1st release, and then it gets the sequels titled "FooBar: The Bar's revenge", "FooBar: the big adventure" and so on. However, in similar cases, the first ("undisambiguated") sequel gets the most text as the characters are recurring, the theme is used later, and separating the series article from the first sequel article is usually confusing and artificial; incoming links may be intended for the first one in the series, or entire series, or be entirely moot.
  To prove that, take a look at the current Ghost Recon and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: LOTS of duplicated information, repeated text etc.
  I propose simply merging the "series" article with the "first sequel" article, under whatever name. In the "ghost recon" case, it may turn out to simply redirecting (superficially, I see nothing or little in the series article not already told in the 1st sequel article). Situation is not much different with the other two. Duja► 14:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Re series/first-installment, seems like there should be a convention on this issue, though cursory look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games didn't show such. Perhaps: "[series title]" → "Tom Clancy's [series title] (series)", combined with proposed names for individual games articles. ENeville 15:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • As of now, there is: Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. --MrStalker ^talk 08:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
