Content
editRight now the article is a verbatim copy of the opening statement made on the show Burn Notice. That doesn't seem too official. Maybe bring it more in line with the reference that it has attached to it? Skajohnny (talk) 05:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe the opening to the Burn Notice TV show is actually derived from an official definition. Did you check this was or wasn't the case before making your comment? 109.157.98.78 (talk) 07:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus that the document is primary and in line with WP:DIFFCAPS to move without disambiguation needed. (closed by non-admin page mover) Raladic (talk) 03:20, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Burn notice (document) → Burn notice – It is extremely odd that the common-noun capitalized Burn notice redirects to the television series Burn Notice instead of having this article there. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:11, 8 November 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Raladic (talk) 16:23, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - I would normally support something like this per WP:DIFFCAPS but I note that the show itself stylizes its title in all-lowercase. This could potentially lead to confusion among readers. Bensci54 (talk) 18:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support per nom.
WP:PRIMARYTOPICWP:DIFFCAPS. Based on long-term significance. Theparties (talk) 17:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC) - Support no disambiguation for the generic document. WP:DIFFCAPS allows for the TV show named after the document to exist at Burn Notice. PK-WIKI (talk) 17:30, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support as primary topic. If anything needs disambiguating it's the TV series (sorry Michael Weston!) which is named after the primary anyway.⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 20:55, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support per WP:DIFFCAPS. This is definitely not the primary topic, but that's irrelevant when burn notice and Burn Notice are two different topics. The fact that Burn Notice is sometimes stylized in lower case is worth considering, but we normally don't take stylizations into account, and the TV series does not rise to the level of being primary for the lower case title. A hatnote will take care of any confusion among readers. Station1 (talk) 01:08, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
