This article is redundant because there's internation spin-off articles at the originated American version article. Happypillsjr ✉ 19:35, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as the franchise grows, we need a seperate article for it, kind of like Got Talent, Idols (franchise) etc. If this discussion is about lack of sources, look at Got Talent for example, that page only has 22 sorces and Idols only has 7 sources. User:Rushtheeditor 1:00, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
• I’m inclined to Keep as this is similar to other franchises that also have their own articles, and seems to be a better place to expound on worldwide spin-off versions. Unless I’m missing something? I’ve also found RuPaul’s Drag Race: Vegas Revue proves the franchise has more to offer than we first thought, VH1 Expands 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Franchise, Announces Celebrity Version, VH1 Expands Its Emmy(R) Award-Winning Franchise with "RuPaul's Drag Race: Vegas Revue" Premiering Friday, August 21st at 8PM ET/PT, DRAG RACE UK IS THE SHOT IN THE ARM THE FRANCHISE NEEDS, Drag Race Thailand Crowned the Franchise’s First Transgender Winner, and 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Sets New Franchise Ratings Records.

• Keep: This is an appropriate spinout from the RuPaul's Drag Race article, which is mostly about the individual show. That article is already pretty long, and the franchise article can be expanded. As Gleeanon409 points out, writers have discussed the spinoff shows as a franchise. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:07, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, "might be be needed in the future" is not a reason for keeping this article. It could be contained succinctly at the main page for RuPaul's Drag Race, given that the spin offs are in their infancy. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 22:03, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to List of Drag Race franchises. It's really a list, and passes WP:LISTN in my view as an aid to navigation of a well-known and coherent topic. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• KEEP Reliable sources found calling it a franchise. Dream Focus 15:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Reliable sources show that this is a notable subject. As toughpigs has said: spinout from the RuPaul's Drag Race article, which is mostly about the individual show.Wm335td (talk) 23:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
