While translating I realized citation needed that every available episode title plays on a relatively famous movie dialogue (except #3 from a comic strip). Following on this I gathered the "referenced" dialogues and their movie origins.

I've edited over a hundred TV pages and haven't seen anything like this done before. The closest I've seen is how editors handled Blindspots episode title anagrams & puzzles each season. It's not original research and in the event of dispute it will come down to local consensus, which means as long as editors are happy with it being on the page you're fine. Consider me one of those people OK with it. Esuka ( talk) 20:08, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
As Esuka pointed out, "title parodies" section seems rather unprecedented. Yet I haven't been able to find any direct source stating the show intentionally chose each episode title based on a cinema catchphrase. citation needed This is why I raised above discussion and then added that each title itself plays on a mentioned dialogue.
I am also confused by Alex 21's edits without discussion or acknowledgement of linked wikipages:

@ YoungForever and Bluerules: At the end episode 8, which was released today, Duke tells Taylor that Jade is not Jade's real name. Her real name is likely to be revealed in episode 9. When it is, should we change all mentions of Jade to her real name (in the episode summary, character list, etc.) or just keep it as Jade as that's what she's known by for a majority of the series? Either way we decide, the character list should say

Keep it as Jade in episode summaries where she's known as Jade because that's what she's referred to.When her real name is revealed, the character list should say "Jade (né Real Name)". — YoungForever (talk) 14:50, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
@ Bluerules and YoungForever: The characters section of the article has become very expensive and drawn out. With the upcoming season 2 with all new characters and storylines, I say the List of Why Women Kill characters article is almost inevitable as I see it.
I want to start a discussion over if we should create this page now or wait a little longer. Jayab 314 00:06, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
I agree with the others that we need more characters and seasons before this series gets its own character page. As far as the current draft goes, I recommend that Alexandra Daddario's character be primarily referred to as "Jade", not "Irene Tabatchnick" because that is the name she is primarily referred to in the series. Even though "Irene Tabatchnick" is the character's real name, "Jade" is the name viewers most identify with her. For comparison, April Bowlby's character in Doom Patrol is really named "Gertrude Cramp", but the article primarily calls the character " Rita Farr" because that's the name she's referred to as throughout most of the series. As perhaps the best known example of this, Jon Snow is still mainly called "Jon Snow" in his article and Game of Thrones-related articles even after his real name is revealed because "Jon Snow" also remains the name he's mainly called by in the series.

@ Bluerules and YoungForever: Should we mention that CBS All Access also made a six-episode podcast called "Why Women Kill: Truth, Lies, and Labels"? Should we also give it a short episode table, or maybe even a whole article? Jayab 314 23:13, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
