Searching for "Icewind Dale series" I am primarily given results which discuss the more famous book series. That's why I suggested repointing the redirect. Redirects are also article titles which we have to work around for purposes of disambiguation. Either the video games or book series could be a viable target for
Icewind Dale (series), which is why the video game article needs more complete disambiguation. --

If I type in the search box "Icewind Dale", the autosuggest puts
Icewind Dale (series) up before the Trilogy. People clicking that might be searching for the games, but most likely the books
due to the popularity. That's what I mean when I cite
WP:ASTONISH so that we can better serve readers. Filling in that redlink is to serve that same purpose. Per
WP:INCDAB, if there are two series related to Icewind Dale, we should make sure both are clearly disambiguated. And per
WP:R#ASTONISH, that the redirects are targetted toward the most likely destination. --

Oppose Per Sergecross, disambiguations are meant for articles that share the same name, not for partial title matches. Per
WP:SMALLDETAILS any confusion between books and games can easily be resolved by a hatnote.ZXCVBNM (

Support Sergecross in good faith is incorrect, disambiguation policy/guidelines are not meant for articles that share the same name, but is a product of both title and real world issues. In this case a real world issue is involved.
