• Support per reason given, the (comics) disambiguator isn't used much these days and its better to be clear.★Trekker (talk) 12:11, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:NCCDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 16:22, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:NCCDAB. There doesn't seem to be any reason to overrule policy in this case as opposed to just putting a hatnote there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:30, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose as above —siroχo 02:41, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
• Support. Completely ambiguous. I agree with the nominator that most people would probably think this referred to the character no matter what WP:NCCDAB might say. Dogma is not always best. Common sense usually rules. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:47, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
• Weak support per Necrothesp. Few readers are likely to know that "comics" on Wikipedia might not refer to a character that appears in comics, and for Silver Surfer (comics) and Ghost Rider (comics), it does. Those are the first (and only) two I checked. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:17, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
• Strong support per nominator. the current disambiguator does not help the readership. -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 06:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:NCC. "series" should not be used. I could weakly support using (comic book), for this, if there was consensus, but (comics) is fine for this as-is. - jc37 23:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
