• Oppose - A quick Google search and here is what I found. 636,000,000 results for Google Play Movies and 599,000,000 results per Google Play Movies and TV. We don't use a company (or products) official name. We use the most common name. CookieMonster755 (talk) 02:29, 4 February 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Google Play Movies → Google Play Movies & TV – The official name of the service is "Google Play Movies & TV", as demonstrated by the page title on its website, the name of the Android app, the link to its page from the Play Store, a promotional page for Google Play. In fact, just about the only place you won't find the "& TV" portion of the name is the website URL. --Relisted.

Support I can't see any reason this will be controversial. All official sites use this as do the news and reviews. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 19:10, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I carried out this move, without having seen this request. My error--it has to be closed first and I do not wish to do that. DGG ( talk ) 04:26, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support If this is the more common name as Y2kcrazyjoker4 and EoRdE6 say, I agree (while we don't have to use the official name, but the common name, I see no reason why not to use the official name here). --Gonnym (talk) 07:36, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Google Play Movies & TV → Google TV – Google has confirmed that the Play Movies & TV service has been renamed to Google TV (see here). I am unable to do it myself because the article already exists (it previously was the name used by the recently moved Google TV (discontinued), and was recreated today as a new article by an editor who thought Google TV was a successor service to Play Movies & TV).

• Support @Y2kcrazyjoker4: Yeah, that was my bad. Thanks for fixing that. If it was confirmed, shouldn't we just move it the the correct title? There doesn't seem to be a need for a consensus for this one. Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 00:23, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I tried to move this article to Google TV, but as I expected, I got an error message since there was already an article at the destination. An administrator would need to facilitate this for us. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 00:37, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Google TV → Google Play Movies & TV – Google TV was launched on September 30th, 2020. While there was initially confusion on whether it was a rebranding, successor to, or separate from Google Play Movies & TV, it currently seems clear that Google TV is a separate service from Google TV. As far as I can tell, Google Play Movies & TV has received no changes except for its Android app being replaced with Google TV's. It still exists on the web, iOS, Chrome Web Store, and Roku Channel Store, with no indication that any of these have plans to be replaced. In addition, Google TV's site positions the service as a content aggregator, without even mentioning a streaming service aspect. While several news articles state that Google TV is replacing Google Play Movies & TV, this seems to be speculation, and I can't find any mention of it from Google.

• Oppose: this was moved just two months ago. If there is confusion about the name, let's wait some time to see what name reliable sources use. Vpab15 (talk) 11:25, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That logic doesn't really make sense to me. I think that even without current sources, no official source for a rebranding and multiple official sources implying a lack of rebranding outweighs one news article saying that there was a rebranding. In addition, the result of the previous move says "If anyone does have a problem, then we can always reverse this and discuss." Leo60228 (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you think there's only one news article to say there was a rebranding, I'm afraid you haven't been paying much attention or done enough research into this subject. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:47, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was proposed in this section that Google TV be renamed and moved to Google TV (service). result: Moved. There is clear consensus that the term is confusing, and consensus leans towards the absence of a primary topic. Opposition and alternatives received rebuttals with no response, leading to subsequent !votes supporting a move and disambiguation of the base name. Refinement of the disambiguation page and hatnotes to help readers get where they want to be is welcome.

Google TV → Google TV (service) – The "Google TV" brand is used to refer to three different things: a VOD service formerly known as Google Play Movies & TV (currently located at Google TV), an updated interface of Android TV often used interchangeably with the aforementioned app (currently located at Android TV § Google TV interface), and a defunct operating system for smart TVs axed in 2014 and sometimes confused for the aforementioned interface (currently located at Google TV (operating system)). A quick Google search for "Google TV" indicates that most people are looking for the Android TV interface (because it's the newest), but I'm not convinced that's there is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC among the three terms, plus I think pointing Google TV to the Android TV interface would only result in more confusion for casual readers. Just look at the numerous past discussions above. Therefore, I propose that this article be moved to Google TV (service), while Google TV becomes a WP:DAB page listing all three uses.

• Oppose. The current article is a justified primary topic, and the hatnotes are sufficient to indicate the other two meanings. 162 etc. (talk) 17:50, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Trust me, the hatnotes aren't working. I invite you to check out how many times I have reverted users at Google TV (operating system) who mistakenly believe that the article is about the interface, and read the § Article is so wrong and § First two paragraphs of intro are wrong discussions above. If there's a rightful primary topic that would be Android TV § Google TV interface, but again I don't believe redirecting to a section will eliminate any confusion.

• Support the OS gets 4,240 views compared with 5,737[[1]] for this one, no clear primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:04, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Alternate suggestion. The old Google Play Movies is defunct. Functionality was absorved by google tv interface. I don't believe a DAB page is the correct thing to do. Google TV is only one thing right now as defined at tv.google. The old play movies article can be renamed back to play movies or be a subsection of google.tv. Again, there is only one google.tv it absorbed play movies functionality and there should only be one article about google.tv Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 02:19, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  As I have explained in great detail in the other discussion above, Daniel.Cardenas is mistaken. The Google TV service is separate from the Google TV interface, while sources in the article clearly state that the service was renamed from Play Movies & TV to Google TV. Additionally, tv.google is for the interface and not the app. Once again, this exemplifies the confusion among readers that I was alluding to. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:52, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm recusing from voting on this, but I have no idea what any of these are. I would expect the primary topic to be either YouTube TV or a line of physical smart TVs (Best Buy sells a TCL television that claims to be a "Google TV"), but apparently all three(?) of the "Google TV" branded products are other topics. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 20:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, it's confusing thanks to Google's terrible naming strategy. The TCL smart TVs marketed as "with Google TV" are referring to the Android TV interface, while YouTube TV is a completely unrelated service which just happens to also be owned by Google.
