Propose redirecting to Miracle Worker (disambiguation). My bold redirect was reverted, so bringing it here for discussion. My rationale is that the article duplicates the existing disambiguation page, and the prose content contains no useful information that isn't already present in the articles on the individual works. This isn't a "cycle" of works that requires a standalone article, it's a play which has been several times adapted for screen by different companies. Dan from A.P.

Redirect to Miracle Worker (disambiguation)#Film, television, and theatre. Per nom, the article duplicates the purpose of the disambiguation page. All the films are based on the same play (thus why they have the same name), but it's not a "franchise" or a "cycle" as the article claims, just several independent adaptations of the same work sharing the same name.

Redirect to disambiguation page for the reasons stated in the nom. Article is wholly redundant. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:36, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as a WP:CONCEPTDAB. It is not OK to redirect to a DAB page, as DAB page entries are required to have their own articles. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:22, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: After a delightfully civil conversation with the nom, I've decided to reopen this discussion and let it play out for another week. I'll recuse and let another reviewer close.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 17:47, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the closer got it right the first time. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to The Miracle Worker (play), which should be at this title. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 22:26, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
