The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus on whether the 1981 film or the series should be moved to the undisambiguated title.

Oppose. Nearly all relevant topics from the dab relate to some aspect of the franchise; it might even make more sense to move the franchise page to the plain title with a link to the dab page at the top.

Oppose. Something needs to be moved to the base name,and it's probably the 1981 film (restoring the arrangement from to the move in January 2012). Failing that, the franchise would be a good choice. Moving the dab to the base name would be my third choice. --

Oppose because I do not think we need a disambiguation page. I agree that the franchise is not the primary topic, but I think the primary topic is the 1981 film. The other topics are not specifically "Evil Dead" or are just minor derivatives (like the video games). I think it makes sense that when a reader searches for "The Evil Dead", they will come to the 1981 film article, which has a reputation unto its own.

Oppose per
Dekimasu. I would also be inclined to move the franchise page to the base title, but this does not mean that the film is ambiguous to the franchise. The film is part of the franchise, and the whole thing is the primary topic of the name.

As far as I know, people (and reliable sources) do not call the franchise "The Evil Dead". It might be "the Evil Dead franchise" or "the Evil Dead series", but "The Evil Dead" by itself is the first film in the franchise/series, and when readers search on "The Evil Dead", that's what we should give them. --
