Images of the other killers

Since there is one image of Stu Macher and Billy Loomis the original Ghostface killers, could you guys add in three more images of the other Ghostface killers please?

1. [Loomis] and [Altieri], the second Ghostface killers.

2. [Bridger], the third and final Ghostface killer.

3. [Roberts] and [Walker], the fourth and new Ghostface killers. 31.48.57.250 (talk) 21:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Article name change

I think the disambiguation (character) makes little sense, Ghostface is an identity used by multiple characters. I think it should be moved to Ghostface (identity) or even Ghostface (code name).★Trekker (talk) 14:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Since no-one has said anything against it I will go ahead and do it.★Trekker (talk) 17:18, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 21 February 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Revert. There is no consensus on what specific title this article should be at, but there seems to be consensus that the page should not be at "Ghostface (identity)", and thus the page needs to be moved somewhere. Tentatively I have chosen to revert pending further discussion of an ultimate destination. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 04:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Ghostface (identity) → Ghostface (Scream) – Page was unilaterally moved a couple of times to different names. However the original name is the most precise, and (identity) is a non-standard disambiguation. I think both moves should be reverted as unnecessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 18:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

• Move to Ghostface; this is the only thing called just "Ghostface" without further elaboration, and a hatnote can suffice for the other uses. Failing that, rename as proposed. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:50, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

  I join in support. Ghostface from Scream is likely the primary topic. Killuminator (talk) 23:48, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

  Support alternative. Clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:51, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

  The article for Ghostface Killah refers to him a lot as "Ghostface", which is what gave me pause. But my guess is that his stage name was directly based on the Scream franchise, making it likely primary for the character, so I can agree with this if everyone else does. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

The Ghostface Killah stage name predates the first Scream film by several years. He actually took the name from a character in the 1979 film, The Mystery of Chess Boxing. NJZombie (talk) 14:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

• I'd suggest moving it to "Ghostface (Scream character). As Ghostface Killah was using the name in by at least 1993 with the first Wu-Tang album and often shortens it as well. I'm not crazy about just having the franchise next to it, as if we want to be clear to anyone who stumbles upon this page via a random article or anything, they should see know immediately what they are dealing with. "Ghostface (Scream)" is *okay*, but slight preference for what I've suggested still. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
• Support original proposal. When a fictional character's name needs disambiguation, my experience is that the general practice is to use just their media of origin as the DAB: see Thor (Marvel Comics), Joker (Persona), etc. Oppose giving this character PTOPIC status over Ghostface Killah, for the reasons discussed above.
