Name of the law firm that is the focus of the series

If you go to the USA website and watch the Harvey Specter interview video (http://video.usanetwork.com/series/suits/behind_the_scenes_5/meet-harvey-specter/v1342199), the name of the firm (Pearson Hardman) can be seen on the wall. comment added by Andrew.seier (talk • contribs)

Page move

Woodensuperman and others: Just wanting to raise a question about the page move from Suits (TV series) to Suits (U.S. TV series). I don't understand why it was moved, as this is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and it affects a large number of subsidiary pages, and it would have been good to see some discussion here before moving. With a hugely popular US show remade in Korea, this would seem more similar for example to Criminal Minds and Criminal Minds (South Korean TV series) than say The Office, The Office (UK TV series) and The Office (U.S. TV series). Thanks, Melcous (talk) 21:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Melcous, a disambiguated title cannot be a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. If something is a PRIMARYTOPIC, it gets the undisambiguated name. If it is not, then it is fully disambiguated along with all others that are also to be disambiguated. There is no PRIMARYTOPIC for Suits as it points to the disambiguation page Suit. In the example you give above, the title is at the undisambiguated name, i.e. Criminal Minds, not Criminal Minds (TV series) (which is a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to the PRIMARYTOPIC). --wooden superman 09:04, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

It is not true that disambiguated titles cannot have primary topics. See WP:PDAB. This absolutely was a potentially controversial move and required an RM. At this point I think it’s worth considering whether this topic is primary for Suits. В²C ☎ 22:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

Pages for main characters

Any objections to making separate articles for the main characters as List of Suits Characters is getting large. Also posted in their talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoliceSheep99 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Suits (American TV series) → Suits

– Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:PLURAL. The page views are overwhelmingly in favor of the American TV series being the primary topic for Suits: the daily average page views for this page is 9,877 out of a total of 10,158 page views for this page, the Korean series, the album and the dab page. That's 97%. If that's not "much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined", then nothing is. It's possible that some small percentage of users searching with "Suits" might be looking for Suit, but the total number of average daily views there is also miniscule, 460 compare to this page's 9,877, so that's obviously insignificant for primary topic determination. And WP:PLURAL explicitly allows use of the plural form for a different article than the singular form in cases like this. The bottom line is that anyone searching with "suits" is almost certainly looking for this article; that's primary topic by definition. В²C ☎ 03:16, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Support moving the TV series to Suits as the overwhelming WP:primary topic. Even if we add suit to the mix, the TV series still gets 93% of pageviews. Suits is currently a redirect that gets nearly 100 hits per day, a high number for a redirect, almost all of whom want the TV series. This move will benefit those readers.

Oppose, suit primary for suits regardless of plural or casing. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:36, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Oppose per User:Randy Kryn. Long-term notability. 162 etc. (talk) 16:39, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - We focus way too much on page views, particularly those that we know are simply because of recent pop culture prominence. This move proposal is ridiculous. -- Netoholic @ 19:11, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
