What was the need to split this article into two articles? It was fine as it was. Richard75 ( talk) 00:44, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply

• I agree with Richard75. This shouldn't have been split. The split has resulted in an article that largely violates Wikipedia policies, since it is overwhelmingly WP:WEIGHTed towards WP:PRIMARY research. Shooterwalker ( talk) 00:04, 10 January 2022 (UTC) reply

It has been proposed in this section that Foundation series be renamed and moved to Foundation (book series).

Foundation series → Foundation (book series) – Foundation (TV series) is also a "series" so this title is an incomplete disambiguation state. And while not a primary topic so page views aren't really needed, per Pageviews it hasn't received more views than the series over the last year Gonnym ( talk) 08:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Support per nom. Current title is outdated considering the TV series now exists.— TAnthony ^Talk 14:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Support per nom. Also, "Foundation series" should redirect to the book series, as that has the most enduring audience (for now). Shooterwalker ( talk) 17:57, 11 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Support per nom and per those above. I would also note that Foundation itself is a disambiguation page, and there are multiple items on the page for which a "series" could conceivably exist. BD2412 T 02:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply
• Comment if someone could write a franchise article, the "Foundation series" should point there. Foundation Saga seems to be available to use as a franchise article name. This should include the Galactic Empire series, Daneel+Bailey series, I Robot, End of Eternity, the various spin-offs (Caliban, "Fourth Law of Robotics", etc), the TV show, the I Robot movie, etc. ; and discussion on the non-infringing related works like "Psychohistorical Crisis" -- 65.92.247.96 ( talk) 08:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  Foundation universe maybe? Gonnym ( talk) 13:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply
