Taken (2016 TV program)Taken (2016 TV series) – With 3 seasons, and 39 weekly episodes, this does not fall under the designation "program" as defined at WP:NCTV. This is a series. --woodensuperman 09:10, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NCTV, "series television" applies here as it is an episodic television show, that expresses a unifying theme, aired only part of the year, and was produced as a set or cycle of episodes usually called a season. The claim in the proposal is not inaccurate. --woodensuperman 15:35, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It could go either way given the self-contained aspect of the episodes, but the alias should be made after it's settled. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:37, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, "non-series television shows tend to be produced on either an on-going basis (airing daily or weekly) or as a one-time event". This is not produced on an on-going basis, nor is it a one time event. The "self-contained" element follows the "on-going" clause: "Each episode of an on-going show usually is self-contained with little connection to other episodes." --woodensuperman 16:50, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, considered a TV series since it "express a unifying narrative theme" (TV program) can be retained as an alias. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 15:24, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - We have a (TV series) disambiguator, so shouldn't it be used match what the "real world" also describes as a "series"? The Taken official website (https://takentheseries.com), network website[1], press releases[2], and secondary coverage[3][4] all absolutely refer to it as a series. Their Twitter handle is @takentheseries and their official Facebook is /takentheseries/ . Everything about this show screams at us "series" - its one of the clearest examples I've ever seen. So, if some editors are somehow arriving at the conclusion that we should not call it a (TV series), then either the guideline is unclear, they are confused, or they are advocating removal of (TV series) as a valid option. -- Netoholic @ 19:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Netoholic, good point about the website calling themselves takentheseries. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 20:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
