Turok (series) → Turok (video game series) – per WP:INCDAB Title is ambiguous as it could apply to any of the comic series this character has appeared in or to the related novel series. Netoholic @ 21:36, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose - per WP:CONCISE - no other article series to disambiguate from with their current naming. Series is enough of a disambiguation, the other areas are minor and obscure, and not likely search items. Sergecross73 msg me 21:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• INCDAB relates to both Precision and Recognizability - those two WP:CRITERIA beat one. I would also suggest that Naturalness applies when someone searches "Turok video game" that they see a link to the video game series naturally come up and can click it with confidence. Consistency is another matter - having some video games use (series) and some use (video game series) is very inconsistent. Better for all the other CRITERIA to override and lose a little bit of Conciseness to get the job done better. -- Netoholic @ 21:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• Support - Ehh, I'd support this one considering that Turok had many comic book series before the video games even existed. Turok (series) should be redirected to Turok, and possibly Turok (disambiguation) be moved to Turok while that page is moved to Turok (comic book series)._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:06, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Turok is an article about the character though, not the comic book series. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:21, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support as stated WP:INCDAB relates to both Precision and Recognizability and those two WP:CRITERIA beat "brevity" (which isn't a criteria). In ictu oculi (talk) 22:16, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support per the others. The comics are not "minor and obscure". Argento Surfer (talk) 21:07, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per there not being an article that this conflicts with. DABs are not about potential ambiguity. We can move per WP:INCDAB if and when there is an article on comic book or other media series. For now, WP:CONCISE says we don't need additional working because there are no conflicting articles. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:21, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Disambiguation pages aren't about potential ambiguity? Are you award that Turok is the name of four or more separate comic series? Argento Surfer (talk) 16:07, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
    • Yes, they are not about potential ambiguity. They are about ambiguity between existing article titles. Which "Turok (xxx series)" article is this in conflict with? —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 16:31, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Current title is ambiguous. --woodensuperman 12:27, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support. The present title is incomplete disambiguation as it could also refer to the various comics series covered at Turok. Closer, please note: if moved, Turok (series) needs to point to the dab page.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:46, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support per nom, including that the video game series hasn't had a notable release in over a decade; thus, its notability separate from the comic series which it is based is waning. Steel1943 (talk) 15:10, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
