I would like to determine a consensus as to whether or not Wikipedia should have a film series article for two films. In my experience, the threshold to have a film series article is to have three realized films. (If Journey 3 was in production, I would not put this topic up for AfD, but there has been no real news since the announcement of plans for a third film in March 2012, over a year ago.) The existing film series articles are pretty much three or more films, and these have been justified by myself and others as a way to aggregate content from individual topics. Such articles are a way to see how films compare to each other in terms of recurring characters, box office performance, critical reception, and high-level analysis. I believe that three films is the appropriate threshold because with that minimum, the article becomes a distinct location for comparing across that many films and more. In contrast, a mere film and its sequel can easily compare by saying in the sequel's article how it did compared to the original film. Maybe my argument is too convoluted, and this should not matter. I'd like to hear what others think. For what it's worth, if a third film did begin production, I would support a film series article since it would meet the threshold.
