X-COM → XCOM – The series has used the "XCOM" moniker, sans the hyphen, for 5 games now - more than the running time of many entire series. While I respect that the original game used the hyphen, the page should reflect the current name of the series, which is decidedly without it. For example, Soulcalibur is not called Soul Edge. Ace Combat is not called Air Combat. And so forth. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:21, 8 October 2020 (UTC)—Relisted. 2pou (talk) 14:36, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I was going to complete this as an unopposed proposal, but then I saw this note at the bottom of the target: <!- need to disamb with NASA XCOM X-ray communications test (on ISS) : Neutron_Star_Interior_Composition_Explorer#XCOM -> <! - also XCOM wireless Inc and other product brands (eg knives) ->

Relisting to account for any WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and disambiguation considerations (there are a lot of hatnotes). Best I can tell is the knives comment refers to Kershaw Knives, but there's no mention. I have a feeling XCOM (disambiguation) will suffice, but a relist is appropriate. Courtesy ping to note poster @Rod57:

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, 2pou (talk) 14:36, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

• Comment This remains the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for XCOM. A hatnote would be sufficient if there is anything that needs to be disambiguated, per WP:TWODABS but if there is more a disambiguation page can be made._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:24, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
• Support the only other thing we see that is called XCOM is a covered in a small section of the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer article. Also, while not the best, I did a quick Google search and the franchise was the clear winner and evidence that people typing this term are looking for the series not X-ray communication systems. At most a dabpage may be required.--76.67.169.43 (talk) 02:49, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
