One Tree Hill DVD releases

Self-nomination I came across this article about two weeks ago by accident, and it's layout was really nice. Kinda similar to the Lost DVD releases and Smallville DVD releases pages, but without all the fair-use images of DVD covers. The information was all there, I just spent three hours or so today expanded the introduction and adding references (It looked like this beforehand).

I'm just testing the waters with this nomination. As far as I can see, no list of DVD releases has ever been promoted to FL, or even tried to be, and I'm interested in what is necessary to make such a list Featured. All comments are therefore greatly appreciated. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 07:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Oppose, It is nicely laid out and all, but I can't see that it meets WP:FICT for even existing. How is a television series' DVD releases notable enough that that they need to be in a separate list apart from either the episode page (where the basic info is already included)? I suspect that is why none have ever been nominated, because of the issue of notability. Collectonian (talk) 07:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps. And if it was tagged and/or deleted, it wouldn't bother me too much. 3 hours from my life is nothing to cry over. I'm not sure how people involved with the articles concerning this (and every other TV show with a DVD release page) would feel, though. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 09:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose yeah, I'd have to agree. There's a real question over notability of this, and while I'm happy to set precedents, I can just imagine the swathes of articles which could be generated about DVD releases of TV shows.... Nice article but not sure that's enough. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm surprised then that User:TTN hasn't come across all these pages and tagged them. I wonder what his feelings are on it... -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 09:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thinking about it, I'm surprised you say that, too. Surely the same could have been said when the first List of (insert TV show) episodes was promoted, but there's still only a handful. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 17:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, tempting to quote WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I'm relatively new to frequenting each and every WP:FLC mainly concentrating on the things I know best. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose - no sales figures, no reception, suggest merging into the LOE. Will ^(talk) 14:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

From TTN's talk page

Seeing as the topic is about DVDs, I don't see how FICT applies. It certainly fails WP:N, though. I suggest that you either find some kind of reception on the overall DVDs or merge it somewhere. TTN (talk) 16:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

In response to all the comments about notability, then, other than sales figures and reception, what else would be good to include in order for another attempt for such a list to be promoted? -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 17:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, unless there was something really unique about the release or it had extraordinary sales, I don't think notability can be established for DVD releases apart from the series or the episodes. Collectonian (talk) 20:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I'd support with that info, and I can't think of anything else reasonable to include; still, the others might be right that this would be better merged into the list of episodes. No information would have to be deleted, just combined with more data about the individual episodes. Tuf-Kat (talk) 01:54, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I did look for the info, but there was nothing on the internet that I could see. Anyway, I've now merged each DVD "table" into the relevent season article and redirected One Tree Hill DVD releases to One Tree Hill (TV series). Thank you to everyone who looked and commented.

Speedy close or whatever - article doesn't exist anymore. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 18:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
