High Potential (TV series) → High Potential – WP:DIFFCAPS and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC because of page views [1] [2] [3] [4]. Wiki Nav shows considerable usage. It is the only article with the title High Potential in the High potential disambiguation page. Theparties (talk) 18:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Comment: A show that aired two months ago is the primary topic of nothing. Gonnym (talk) 19:27, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per DIFFCAPS. Can't say if it's the primary topic overall considering recentism, but diff caps is enough for me. A hat note will redirect any confusion. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:34, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:DIFFCAPS. Only topic that is a proper noun, and the leader in page views overall by far nonetheless. Mdewman6 (talk) 08:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose "High Potential" Commonly refers to things other than the film. Kolano123 (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like what? Other topics at High potential are lowercase, and have far fewer page views. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I enjoy the show but the title should redirect to the disamb page where, arguably, the primary could be Intellectual giftedness (which is what the show is named for). Randy Kryn (talk) 23:45, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, estar8806 and Mdewman6. No need for the parenthetical qualifier "(TV series)". A hatnote pointing to the lowercase High potential disambiguation page should indeed suffice. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:28, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:PRITOP and ignoring WP:DIFFCAPS, because the issue here is dropping the parenthetical qualifier, not the words being proper nouns; similarly, a search would not care if it was all caps, all lowercase or mixed case.

While I can see that there is some sort of basis with option 1. in the db page notes under primary, there are three things to consider, 1., 2., and the last sentence.

The series is named after the real primary topic, that being high potential individuals. This would give it equal weight under 1. (usage), and so there is no primary topic.

Though there is no other page titled "high potential", it is the second most-used term for intellectual giftedness on our page, though maybe much more used in certain english-speaking countries like the UK, and is the phrase the TV series is named after. For example, the UK has a visa called HPI, the same as the French series HPI. The 2. case is obviously invalid, as it is a very recent page and tv series - so no long-term significance - whereas the phrase "high potential individual" HAS long-term significance.

The third sentence sort of says it all. It is not really the most obvious primary, due to several countries using HPI, and it is very recent. Overall I see nothing warranting the removal of this, nor the addition of disambig to the DB page. Revisit in six months once it is not WP:RECENTISM ??

Support. This article is getting thousands of hits per day. There is no other article using this title on WP, and even if there were, this would qualify under DIFFCAPS or PRIMARYTOPIC or both. Station1 (talk) 16:47, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per what Theparties and Station1 have said. Higher Further Faster (talk) 10:13, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per essentially every other "Support" above. —theMainLogan (t•c) 22:41, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per what Chaosdruid said. KnighsTalker (talk) 07:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, mostly per the WikiNav, which shows that over 90% of users sent to the disambiguation page come to this TV show's article. The redirect at High Potential is currently a huge disservice to our readers. As for the arguments that gifted people are somehow the unambiguous primary topic, I think the objective data that less than 10% of users actually want to click on that link shows otherwise. If we're all going by our gut feelings, then I say Electric potential is the primary topic! Toadspike [Talk] 17:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per DIFFCAPS but hard to establish PT because of recintism. A hat note should then be added TiggerJay (talk) 07:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a remake

Why is this article not mentioning that this is a remake of a French hit show, HPI (high intellectual potential)? so strange to mention whoever American showrunner as a « creator » while this has been successfully runnning for years on French tv. 2A01:CB00:8B2:3E00:897F:129C:BA52:C4F (talk) 22:35, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? The second sentence of the article is "It is based on the 2021 French and Belgian television series HPI." Opolito (talk) 22:40, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is NOT a remake. We go by according to credits which say based on HPI - Haut Potentiel Intellectuel created by Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, Stéphane Carrié, and Nicolas Jean on the on-screen end credits. — YoungForever^(talk) 23:26, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

HPI

in one of the final eps, someone refers to her as being or having "HPI".

geesh. if ur gonna drop the I from the orig for the US title, how can u go and put it back in in DIALOGUE like this?

she shud either have/be "HP" in the US one, or just revert the title to the french original.

and what are we supposed to interpret the acronym as anyways? "high potential intellectual" doesn't exactly work in english word order! "HIP" and "IHP" would both work, but not "HPI".... 2601:18A:807C:1C40:79:23E9:4593:1953 (talk) 03:00, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This TV series is called High Potential, we cannot and will not rename this TV series just because you want to. ABC calls it High Potential. — YoungForever^(talk) 22:48, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

am i being punked?

you seem obsessed with shutting down discussion of an obvious flaw in the setup.

if the main character in seinfeld were actually named "steinfeld", the wiki would be all over that.

ABC has gone to the trouble of dropping the I/intellectual from the original title, yet they (stupidly?) described the character as having it. is this intentional? is this a mistake? is it in prep for a renaming?

needs to be addressed. 2601:18A:807C:1C40:D14E:AB05:8E7C:835C (talk) 00:01, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No one cares what the original French TV series is called. This American TV series is based off of the French TV series. It is not a requirement to have the same exact name of something based off of, this is common sense. Unless ABC rename this American TV series officially, you are beating a dead horse right now. — YoungForever^(talk) 01:38, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

lol. ok.

i just fixed it. "be bold", right?

silly to quibble over something so obvious. 2601:18A:807C:1C40:2885:96B6:1F77:55B5 (talk) 03:54, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Production Companies

What’s wrong with my edit? I was trying to make improvements to the production companies. It’s better to indicate that Spondolie only appeared in the pilot episode. Also, what’s wrong with relocating Taft Tennis above 20th Television? NacreousPuma855 (talk) 05:39, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved: According to YoungForever, we start from the first episode, then put a new production company at the bottom of the list if it comes in a future episode. Otherwise, it would be a pain to keep changing the order. NacreousPuma855 (talk) 23:51, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
