Talk:List of Roswell, New Mexico Relationship Names

This looks like it's mostly covered by the existing page List of Roswell Relationship Names. (Although that should probably be renamed to "Roswell, New Mexico" names if that's the full name of the fandom.) Should these pages have their info combined into one page? --Elf (talk) 22:57, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Roswell New Mexico =/= Roswell

Roswell New Mexico is a 2019 reboot of the 1999 Roswell show with many differences in ships and ship naming conventions. They definitely shouldn't be combined! Beautifulcheat (talk) 01:18, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! I will add them in the "see also" fields for each other's pages, because they're related-not-the-same fandoms. --Elf (talk) 01:41, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! 🙂 Beautifulcheat (talk) 04:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

On further thought, it's possible they should be combined and kept as separate-by-canon lists, like List of MCU Relationship Names - if the two series are strongly related and share some characters, the ship name lists could be combined, and different names for the same ship in different series would be noted. (But they don't need to be, and that decision can wait for more input from people involved in the fandoms.) -- Elf (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

My instinct is to keep them separate. The shows have very little in common except a small core cast. The canon is completely different, with many characters that are not in the other. Even in the core cast, some of the characters have different surnames and the canon family structures are different. For instance, Jesse Manes and Jesse Ramirez are totally different characters. Combining the two would confuse more than help! Beautifulcheat (talk) 22:25, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
