 | The content of Headgear (artist group) was merged into Patlabor on 5 October 2022. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Article Title
I think the article title should be Patlabor series given how the opening line ("Patlabor (a portmanteau of "patrol" and "labor"), also known as Mobile Police Patlabor (Japanese: 機動警察パトレイバー, Hepburn: Kidō Keisatsu Patoreibā)") makes it sound like Patlabor is the equivalent of the original Japanese title, but the series encompasses many works some of which do not use that full original title such as Oshii's novels. Any thoughts? R koiwai (talk) 21:39, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Proposal to merge Headgear (artist group) into this article
I feel like Headgear aren't notable enough on their own to warrant their own article. The only property they created is Patlabor, and they're only relevant to it specifically. The article itself is also very scant and the whole thing could peobably be placed (with modifications) in the licensing section or a new "history" section, without any issues.
Thoughts?
