I ask you detail your argument more thoroughly than "thats not really a style." Regards IgelRM (talk) 08:41, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@IgelRM: No it makes sense that "Life Is Strange" transitioned to "Life is Strange: Subtitle". Its more of a typo that got phased out rather than an intentional stylization.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I do not fully understand what you are saying. Although the spelling in official material was not always consistent, setting and later changing the product title capitalization of an already released game on the Steam Store page is not trivial. In any way, you have not explained why the decapitalized spelling does not qualify for "stylized as". IgelRM (talk) 19:15, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@IgelRM: Stylized titles are adding something additional to them that doesn't alter the way it's pronounced. For example, Se7en or P!nk or Ke$ha are examples of stylization because they replace actual letters Steam pages are the one and only place to see the quote-on-quote stylization as opposed to the multiple sources out there showing it with a lowercase "i" in "is", then its most likely a revision of what the title is.
So i'm removing it because it's not a stylization choice. With that said, I don't believe the correct title for any of these games is "Life Is Strange". grammatically, the "is" is lowercase and it looks like Square Revised their title to be grammatically correct. All the other sources as well follow the common spelling of "Life is Strange" as well.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Now I can follow your argumentation, although I do not fully agree. However, it is in some ways contradicting to @Lordtobi:argumentation on the original game's article, which deemed the "stylization" to be "not extraordinary enough for attribution" at the time. IgelRM (talk) 20:22, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Again, this is not a stylization. if anything, the original "Life Is Strange" is closer stylization because that's not grammatically correct. But since Square Enix has revised their title, tells me the quote-on-quote stylization was never intentional to begin with.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 20:34, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
It was proposed in this section that multiple pages be renamed and moved.
– Per VG Wikiproject naming guidelines. The first video game is no longer the primary topic. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:02, 23 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support agreed. The series is now the primary topic over the initial game.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 15:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Move to Life Is Strange (franchise) - While I generally agree with these kinds of swaps, in this case the first game seem to retain a distinctiveness over the franchise, as almost all scholarly sources I've found (even as recent as 2021) are talking about the initial game when they use the phrase "Life Is Strange", and not the entire franchise. The (series) disambiguator is awful, so (franchise) might be a better alternative. If OP's proposal does go through, a meticulous cleanup of internal wikilinks will be necessary. -- Netoholic@ 17:36, 23 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support anything to get rid of this awful (series) dab, we should never use this. (TV series) (book series) could mean anything. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:36, 24 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support A no brainer move with three main entries, a spinoff prequel to LIS 2, and the upcoming True Colors. Per WP:NCVG guideline for video game series, plus it's an obvious primary topic given how the Life Is Strange (film) garnered around 50 times less views over the year so far.

Character notable for one video game Andre🚐 18:20, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose. No adequate rationale had been provided to support the proposed merge. There are plenty of fictional characters who have appeared in only one video game (or film or TV show etc) but has been subject to significant coverage specifically about their development and reception, so such a simplistic reason does not fly. For the record, Max Caulfield has technically appeared in more then one video game with Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The result of a 2019 AfD about the topic was a clear consensus that it passes WP:GNG and is thus entitled to a standalone article. Haleth (talk) 01:56, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
My mistake. I thought it was just one game. And the prior AFD wasn't tagged on the talk page; I'll add it. I'm sorry - it is there. It just wasn't on this page. I must have missed it. Andre🚐 02:05, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Maybe a "List of characters in the Life Is Strange series" article consolidating the now many separate character articles would work? Most of the opinion pieces cited as passing WP:GNG seem to be on the whole about one of the games. Looking at the article, for example Max and Chloe are nominated together for Polygon's best characters list. IgelRM (talk) 23:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think that would be a good idea. Andre🚐 23:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Life Is Strange (comics) redirects here but has substantial text after the #REDIRECT directive. Please can an editor familiar with the subject un-redirect, merge, delete or otherwise deal with the content? Pinging contributors 2pou and MaximumMadnessStixon. Thanks, Certes (talk) 12:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hello, @Certes. Sorry, but I have no familiarity with the topic. My edits used tools that don't go to the edit window, and I didn't even realize all that content was there. The edits just came about when I was cleaning up an RM that I closed, I believe. Good luck. -2pou (talk) 14:44, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's interesting, 2pou. We're cleaning up a list of redirects with content (which no one will see unless they use &redirect=no). If they're being produced semi-automatically, we may need to look at the tool. Certes (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Certes, just to be clear, the tools I used did not contribute to the commented out content below the redirect. Capricorn simply changed the section anchor reference of the redirect, and DisamAssist simply changed the redirect target link from a temporary disambiguation page to the page after it had been moved. It looks like the commented out text has been in there, in part, since its creation, and it was expanded a few edits later. I'm guessing those editors thought there was potential to build an article, but then it got lost on the back burner. -2pou (talk) 18:42, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Understood. I'm glad the tools are behaving! Perhaps we need a wider debate about how to store these drafts and whether below the #REDIRECT line is a good place for that. I know it's condoned in some cases: the RfD banner encourages the creation of a draft whilst retaining the redirect (which doesn't activate due to that banner, but that's another story).
