Though, after you mentioned that, I checked to see if it was true in Japanese, and I found [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2007/070427.pdf this document] that does refer to it as ぶらぶらドンキーDS（仮称） (''Burabura Donkey DS (Temporary)''). So... I guess it would be a little weird to separate them now. I still think the label "''DK'' series" reeks of conjecture, though.

| Personally, I think this page might need a renaming as well. Not only is it unclear and generic (as "DK" is a very common abbreviation for Donkey Kong, which doesn't at all reflect what makes it so different from other DK series), but also doesn't really reflect ''international'' releases for ''DK: Jungle Climber'', as in Europe, that game is called ''<u>Donkey Kong</u>: Jungle Climber'', just like in Japan. In such a case, I think I'd rather have the series named after the first title, ''DK: King of Swing'', instead of the one all-too-common term that's shared across the two titles in America and Australia. I should mention that our article for the Mario baseball games is also called ''[[Mario Baseball (series)]]'', when there's not a single mention of "baseball" in the title of ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', so it's not like there's a hard rule that the games in a series should have a title that ''must'' reflect with all the titles in said series.<br>(side note, I also think that the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)]]'' should be named ''{{fake link|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (series)}}'', since literally ''all'' the games so far take place at the Olympic Games, and always have "at the Olympic Games" somewhere in their titles. Just ''Mario & Sonic'' implies there's more crossovers between the two series outside of the Olympics, which isn't the case; and this title has clearly been chosen for the sake of brevity rather than accuracy, much like [[The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens|a certain old psychic lady prior to a proposal]]) {{User:Arend/sig}} 13:06, September 14, 2024 (EDT)

| :It looks like a game and a follow-up, not really at a point where I'd call this a series. It was like the time Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon arose and I was like "nah, this isn't a series right now". Why don't we have a series page on [[Itadaki Street DS]] and [[Fortune Street]] (called Itadaki Street Wii in Japan) called Itadaki Street series (like in the opening sentence of the article of Itadaki Street; there has been other Itadaki Street games)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itadaki_Street]. {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:08, September 14, 2024 (EDT)

| ::We do have more articles of series only encompassing of two titles, such as the aforementioned ''[[Mario Baseball (series)]]'', as well as ''[[Mario Teaches Typing (series)]]'' and ''[[Famicom Grand Prix (series)]]''. Would you want to nuke all of those as well? {{User:Arend/sig}} 16:00, September 14, 2024 (EDT)
