Harbingers (comics) → Harbinger (Valiant Comics characters) – WP:SINGULAR this should be using singular form. As this is not the only Valiant Comics topic for "Harbinger", there also being Harbinger (comics) it requires a fuller disambiguation than just the comics company. As this is not the only character related article, there also being Harbinger (DC Comics), it cannot use "character" either. --Relisted.

Comment WP:SINGULAR only says "Article titles are generally singular in form..." and I think that the plural may be a suitable route to disambiguation.

I'd suggest using Harbinger (Valiant Comics) for the title and Harbingers (Valiant Comics) for the categorisation of characters. Otherwise we could use something like: Harbinger (Valiant Comics title) and Harbinger (Valiant Comics characters) Greg Kaye 06:38, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this article should be pluralized, because of SINGULAR, "Harbinger (Valiant Comics)" is hopelessly ambiguous, as it can refer to a member of the harbingers or the particular Harbinger, and would not work, failing WP:PRECISE. So even if this article becomes Harbingers (Valiant Comics), the other article cannot use the singular without additional disambiguation. -- 67.70.32.20 (talk) 05:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't think this is necessary; we have no other articles on "Harbingers" in comics. The "s" already distinguishes the title from things called just "Harbinger" per WP:DIFFPUNCT. I'll note that the article titled Harbinger (comics) does need to be moved due to the presence of Harbinger (DC Comics).--Cúchullain ^t/c 21:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
