Reading through these two, it's clear that someone took the parts pertaining to Red Dragon and spun them off into its own article. Fine enough, except that the Red Dragon stuff was left on the original page.

What to do here? I'm in favor of taking the copied stuff off of the Lambs article if Red Dragon stays its own. Unfortunately, that would make the Lambs article look weird with the other two books info remaining. The other foreseeable option is to get rid of the Red Dragon article and keep the series on a single page. Ideas?

Leaving it on a single page works.

This page also needs to be moved to Hannibal Lecter. It’s a series of four books and four or five movies (depending on where you think Manhunter fits in), not one. Silence of the Lambs may be the best and most notable, but that’s irrelevant. It’s like having James Bond listed under "Goldfinger".

[up]Huh? Goldfinger exists.

A series page and a separate movie sub pages is the way to go with these.

^ Yes, but Goldfinger is specifically about the book and film of that name. We have separate pages for the other films, as well as an overview page for the entire James Bond franchise.

Whereas our The Silence Of The Lambs page covers an entire franchise but is named for a single entry in the series (not even the first one, at that).

I didn't write any of that.

Is there an overall name for this series? Because THAT should be the page name, not the most popular installment. If not, calling it Red Dragon or Hannibal Lecter Series would make more sense, since Red Dragon is the first installment, and the second one is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

The Other Wiki has it named as the "Hannibal Lecter" series, so it should probably all go there.
