: Yes, we should stick with the name used in the source. The series page should definitely be at [[The Beverly Hillbillies (series)]]; I'm agnostic as to whether [[The Beverly Hillbillies]] should redirect to [[Beverly Hillbillies]] to the series page.

I have a few points against renaming this to The Beverly Hillbillies. First off, the source only refers to them as "Beverly Hillbillies", despite going on to use "the Man from U.N.C.L.E". Secondly, sometimes when a series and a group share the same name, they're differentiated by the group getting no "The", and the series getting the "The" (e.g. Addams Family vs The Addams Family). Thirdly, The Beverly Hillbillies is currently being reserved for a series overview (although I feel it perhaps deserves a "(series)" dab term, since in-universe Beverly Hillbillies is sure to be referenced eventually).

Yes, we should stick with the name used in the source. The series page should definitely be at The Beverly Hillbillies (series); I'm agnostic as to whether The Beverly Hillbillies should redirect to Beverly Hillbillies to the series page. Scrooge MacDuck 21:35, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
