Casper (video game) → Casper (video games based on the 1995 film) – This article currently focuses exclusively on the games based on the 1995 film when there are other games based on the franchise such as Casper: Friends Around the World, Casper: Spirit Dimensions and Casper's Scare School (video game). The article should either include every game based on the Casper franchise or the name of the article should explicitly state that the games here are based on the 1995 film. If anyone can think of a better name for the article please offer suggestions in your contribution to this discussion. Tk420 (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The suggested disambiguation is completely outside of natural usage and WP:NCVG. Would entertain a topic split or a conversion toWP:CONCEPTDAB under a better name. The page history of Casper SNES (video game) needs to be merged here, as it seems to have been a copy and paste move on 16 September 2007‎. -- Netoholic @ 02:07, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added a disambiguation to the top of the article to let readers know where they can find a general overview of video games based on the Casper franchise. However this does not answer the question on whether this article should focus on all the games based on the Casper franchise in general or just the games based on the 1995 film which would help to decide whether the article should be moved. I probably should have asked this before I started this move discussion. Tk420 (talk) 10:43, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, raising this move discussion was the way to go since this article is in kind of a muddy situation as written today. The RM will get some visibility and hopefully we'll get some more participation so that we can figure out a better solution. -- Netoholic @ 14:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
