Duplicate Titles / Títulos Duplicados

Greetings everyone, I just want to point out that I think there are two double or repeated entries or articles, from the anime series DragonBall (1986-1989) and DragonBall Z (1989-1996).

Saludos a todos, solo quiero señalar que creo que hay dos entradas o artículos dobles o repetidas, de la serie de anime DragonBall (1986-1989) y DragonBall Z (1989-1996).

Hi @FangWhite64 -

As I understand, you are reporting the following series titles:

Dragon Ball (1986 - 1989)

Dragon Ball Z (1986 - 1989)

In researching briefly, I found mentions that while both titles share an overall same narrative, "Dragon Ball Z" is a sequel series or continuation of "Dragonball". 

Do you have any reputable evidence or sources to help verify that these series titles are one-in-the-same?

Hello, I don't know if these are reliable sources, but according to Wikipedia, Anime News Network or ChatGPT, the Toei Animation studio published "Dragon Ball" from February 26, 1986 to April 19, 1989, a total of 153 episodes. Later, "Dragon Ball Z" from April 26, 1989 to January 31, 1996, with 291 episodes, followed by "Dragon Ball GT", "Dragon Ball Kai" and finally "Dragon Ball Super".
In my opinion, it makes no sense for there to be two entries of the same title with different broadcast dates. Another case would be if they were mangas, OVAs or movies, which is not the case. I will mark with a red arrow the duplicate entries and those with erroneous information. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi @FangWhite64​ -

My apologies for the delayed response.  I filed a ticket (#P155858475) for the team to review your comments and investigate the two series titles further to determine if they should be combined.  Once there is an update our staff will confirm the status here.

Cheers!

Hello FangWhite64,

We have decided to retain both parent pages as separate entities. This is due to the fact that both series were heavily edited at some point of their international release. Hence warranting different parent pages to clearly differentiate between release formats, characters and episodes in some cases.
