Page name

Shouldn't the page name be Law & Order True Crime? The show is called True Crime and season 1 is called The Menendez Murders. Sticking with standard formatting, the page should be about the show not just the one season, and then if there is a second season, the first one can move to its own page. - GalatzTalk 17:30, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Galatz: We don't know if there will even be a second season, and the limited series/first season is called "Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders" on nbc.com so that seems to be the full name of this limited series/the first season. It is referred to as both a limited series or the first season in an anthology series in reliable sources. This article is just about the first season/limited series like The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, not the overall anthology series (if it gets additional seasons) like American Crime Story. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:16, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose if it gets additional season, then an overall Law & Order True Crime page can be created. And if it doesn't get additional seasons, then it can be considered a limited series with just this page. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:24, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
See here [1]. The first season deals with Menendez. If a show only has one season, its not called XXXXX (season 1), its just called XXXXXX. The OJ Simpson special proves my point. American Crime Story was created in 2014 and The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story was created in 2016, once it had more than one announced. - GalatzTalk 18:26, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Galatz: Ok, I see your point. If others agree then I will not object to the article being moved. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Article should be moved from Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders to → Law & Order: True Crime – The Menendez Murders. Best, --Discographer (talk) 21:40, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Discographer: Um...why? I've seen that styling of the name used in several unofficial sources, but just as many unofficial sources and the official sources (nbc.com official twitter) use Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders. Bennv3771 (talk) 01:39, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bennv3771: Disregard my message then, the NBC link is the most official. Good to know. Best, --Discographer (talk) 01:56, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 June 2017

Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez MurdersLaw & Order: True Crime – "The Menendez Murders" doesn't belong in that title. AdamDeanHall (talk) 13:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@AdamDeanHall: Ok, but is "Law & Order: True Crime" the official styling? It seems to be "Law & Order True Crime" without the colon. See nbc.com. Bennv3771 (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
