Five Points (TV series) → Five Points (web series) – Considering that the episodes of this run well less than the standard 22–30 minutes, and that it is released on Facebook Watch, I think disambiguating this with "web series" over "TV series" would be more accurate disambiguation. Gauging support for the proposal... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:03, 4 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 21:42, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We don't use (web series) to disambiguate original programming from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, right? Isn't Facebook Watch a comparable platform? The few other examples of Facebook Watch programs with disambiguation that I was able to find use TV: Profile (2018 TV series), Strangers (2017 TV series). I also checked some RS coverage of this show but wasn't able to find it described as a web series or a TV series (most sources just called it a "series"). Leaning oppose.

- Programming on Netflix and Prime run the "standard" equivalent to 30-minutes and 60-minutes episodes. This doesn't. That was a hallmark of the older "webseries" – they'd run 3–20 minutes per "episodes", as this series does. Because of this, this series looks much less like a "TV series" and much more like a traditional "web series". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:41, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Counterexamples: I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, Special (TV series). Colin M (talk) 17:43, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - First one isn't diambig'ed (so not an issue), but personally on the second one, I would also go with Special (web series) there. But that's me. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:41, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - I was more responding to your suggestion that Netflix and Prime shows are all standard 30/60 minute episodes. Also, while I Think You Should Leave isn't disambig'd, the first sentence of the intro describes it as a "television show". Honestly, I think "web series" has become a bit of a dated term, harkening back to a time when watching video over the internet was a novelty rather than the norm.
