The Fast and the Furious (2001 film) → The Fast and the Furious – The franchise is both officially and commonly named Fast & Furious. The extended form, The Fast and the Furious, almost exclusively refers to the original film, so WP:SMALLDETAILS applies. There was a time where the franchise was also named The Fast and the Furious (see the third film), but this has not been the case since 2009 (see the fourth film). Per WP:ONEOTHER, a hatnote on the film article pointing to the franchise will suffice. A similar situation exists with The Evil Dead (the original film) vs. Evil Dead (the franchise).

• Oppose It just causes confusion without helping readers. Even I believed the franchise was called "The Fast and the Furious", as I had only seen the initial films. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

  Is a hatnote not sufficient in addressing that confusion, per WP:ONEOTHER? This feels like a case of WP:NWFCTM. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:02, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

  I'd call this an exception given the series used to be called by that name. It's still a potential primary redirect topic. If the series was never known by that name, it would be something else entirely. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support per InfiniteNexus, although ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ does have some valid points. 77.92.145.214 (talk) 03:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
• Support per InfiniteNexus. Trekelo (talk) 19:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ's comments above. ╠╣uw [talk] 16:17, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
• Comment It would be more helpful if !voters provided their own rationale rather than simply writing "per XXX" over and over again. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

  Repeating the same things that others have already said well seems unnecessary, but I'm happy to if it helps. I for one have the same take as ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ above: the proposed move would be confusing and would not help our readers. Also like ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ, I thought the series as a whole was called The Fast and the Furious — and apparently it actually was called that — so keeping the clarifier for the 2001 film of the same name seems best. ╠╣uw [talk] 18:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

  Perfectly acceptable and quite normal. Just means you agree with what that person said. No need to rehash an argument you agree with in slightly different words. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support I do not know anyone who calls the franchise The Fast and the Furious, just Fast & Furious. Like the disambiguation to The Fast and the Furious (franchise) redirecting to Fast & Furious should be noted, but the primary topic of The Fast and the Furious should be this film.
