The Lucille Ball Show
Lucy, you've got some 'splainin' to do. The only entry in this alleged dab page that even remotely qualifies is The Lucy Show - the early scripts used this title. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:47, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hmmmmm. The thing is, Lucille Ball had so many different TV shows over the course of her career, and their names were mostly generic/forgettable enough that I can easily imagine a reader who doesn't already have preexisting knowledge of what the shows were actually called thinking that virtually any of them was called The Lucille Ball Show. (Even I Love Lucy, although more iconic and more likely to be remembered as a title in its own right by the majority of our readership, might still be thought of as The Lucille Ball Show by a few young or "non-native speakers of English" readers.) So to me, it's a completely plausible search term that should lead the reader somewhere useful rather than landing blank. That said, I agree that this doesn't actually need to stand alone as an independent title — Lucille Ball's biographical article already links to all of the shows anyway. So my suggestion would be to redirect to Lucille Ball; redirects are cheap and that wouldn't cause any harm. Bearcat (talk) 18:15, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to The Lucy Show, of which it was a variant name. Merge other content to Lucille Ball if necessary, though I believe it is already there. Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:21, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
