Split of episodes section[edit]

I am proposing that the episodes section of the article be split into its own subarticle, with recent additions of information about the series and given the fact that the series was given a hefty episode order for the freshman season, there will likely be no room for the episode listings as a section within the main article; not to mention that most TV series articles on Wikipedia feature the episode listing separate from the main article, to begin with. (TVtonightOKC (talk) 23:29, 5 January 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I agree with TVtonightOKC a new article should be done 190.213.56.202 (talk) 05:26, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like there's already a separate article for the episode list: List of House of Anubis episodes. Avatarfanx2 (talk) 21:06, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

British or American?[edit]

It doesn't matter WHERE the show was made. The show first aired in American on January 1, and it didn't air in the UK until a month later. So it HAS to be American.--65.126.116.183 (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It does matter where it was made. Or more specifically, the nationality of the entity making the show. You cannot claim that it's purely american.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The production company is British; therefore, it is a British show. The only reason it aired first in the US instead of the UK is because the US channel is the flagship Nickelodeon channel. Avatarfanx2 (talk) 20:57, 3 April 2011 (UTC)Avatarfanx2[reply]

You cannot claim that it's purely British because of the company. Plenty of British film companies have made American tv shows, and vice versa. And anyways, how come Nick UK shows never aired in USA, even though the US channel is the flagship Nickelodeon channel? --65.126.116.183 (talk) 21:05, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.mykidstv.co.uk/featured/house-anubis-coming-uk/ Please read that article on the show. And the reason Nick UK shows are not often aired in the US is because they're usually not meant or intended for Nick US. In the case of House of Anubis, however, a British company made the show and it was shown around the world. House of Anubis is shown around the world, not just in the UK and USA.Avatarfanx2 (talk) 21:16, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am aware that it is internationally known. However, like the article says: The popular live-action series, House of Anubis, is to be remade for an international market, including the UK. . That means that as it is distrubited around the world, it will go into the UK as well.--65.126.116.183 (talk) 22:50, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity, do you consider The King's Speech an "American" movie since it was shown in the USA? Even though a British company produced it? -Avatarfanx2 (talk) 20:47, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does that really matter?--KH1MOVIE (talk) 00:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was just curious. However, I would like to reiterate a point that I make on your talk page: "Just because the show was shown first in the US does NOT make its origin US. The production, casting, crew, direction, etc. are all British." --Avatarfanx2 (talk) 01:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make the show British. American people can make a British show. And vice versa.--KH1MOVIE (talk) 03:06, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll give you the last point. However, I am still not convinced; almost everything about the show is British, except for the fact that the casting of Nina's character was done by Nickelodeon USA and and the fact that the show was shown first in the USA rather than the UK. I must say that I completely agree with you that the orignal show is actually Dutch. But this is the English version. Instead of continuing this "edit war", why don't we agree to either put the country of origin and nationality as both British and American? I honestly do not feel that this discussion is important to the content of the show in and of itself. We seem to be agreed on the plot synopses, main characters, etc. Shall we just agree to disagree and have the "nationality" of the show be both British and American? --Avatarfanx2 (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with you. The show does contain development from both countries. So let's just put both. Thank you.--KH1MOVIE (talk) 15:21, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

House of Anubis is not onley British or American. It's in fact Flemish (Belgium), British and American. The show is a co-production between Nick (US), Lime (British) and Studio 100 (Belgium). First Studio 100 would make the show in their studios in Londerzeel (Belgium) and Schelle (Belgium). Then they realised that it was easier for the cast that they shoot the show in Britain, and so Lime Pictures came to the production of the show. Hethuisanubis4ever1 (talk) 15:41, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@KH1MOVIE - Thank you! Shall we request an unprotection of the page? Actually, let's wait to see what Hethuisanubis4ever1 says. @Hethuisanubis4ever1 - I understand that. However, I'm not really sure that the Belgian/Dutch "nationality" is relevant in this case because this show is not being shown there. At least, not as far as I know. --Avatarfanx2 (talk) 20:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@Avatarfanx2 - I think it's relevant, the rights of House of Anubis are property of Studio 100 and the show was created by the owners of Studio 100 (Gert Verhulst and Hans Bourlon). Hethuisanubis4ever1 (talk) 16:14, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't Studio 100 sell the English rights to Lime Pictures and Nickelodeon? --Avatarfanx2 (talk) 19:23, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The broadcasting rights are property of Nickelodeon, but the creative rights are property of Studio 100. Hethuisanubis4ever1 (talk) 09:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But does it really matter in this case, since the show is shown in the English speaking world? --Avatarfanx2 (talk) 02:03, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because, without Studio 100, No House of Anubis Hethuisanubis4ever1 (talk) 10:27, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, let's have the nationality as all three but the country of origin as US and UK since it was made in the US/UK. Do you think that would work? --Avatarfanx2 (talk) 04:36, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's get this straight. The production was made in Belgium, the show was filmed in Britain, and the show was aired internationally. Can't we just say it is from Belgium and Britain? Iluvmarchingband <3 (talk) 17:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Entertainment Weekly and a lot other sources confirmed Nick bought another season of House of Anubis. The season is said to contain 45 episodes of 30 minutes each. Filming is said to start on Juli 21 and the new episodes are expected to air early 2012. Spyjordy 13:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the show is not just to be aired in early 2012, but the air date for season 2 is going to be January 9, 2012 at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time. That is the air date for season 2. This was shown on a promo on Nickelodeon, so I have a valid source to prove it. The Nickelodeon website also has this air date and more info on it possibly.

I think this article needs to be just improved, and more professionally written.Fractyl (talk) 06:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack[edit]

There is "Heavy Rain - Main Theme" used in the series. Did they licensed it from "Quantic Dream" or "Sony Computer Entertainment"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.190.209.185 (talk) 20:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Channels first soap opera aimed at children and teenagers"[edit]

So if House of Anubis wasn't the first soap opera aimed at children at teenagers, what was, and where is a list of all of the soap operas (in english) that are aimed at children and teenagers? Thepoodlechef (talk) 20:34, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the second season of House of Anubis has ended. What are the plans for the future? Thepoodlechef (talk) 20:35, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Another thing... I think this article deserves a High Rating of Importance on the WikiProject Nickelodeon. Thepoodlechef (talk) 22:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Here is a discussion between myself and another user and I think it belongs on this page. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Thepoodlechef&redirect=no - Soap Opera Project Hi there! I saw that you are a participant of WikiProject Soap Operas. That's great, help is always needed. Just wanted to say that House of Anubis isn't really a soap opera, it's a primetime teen mystery show. It doesn't really qualify as a soap, so just be careful when editing things to it. Good luck to you and edit on!! Creativity97 22:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Creativity97 House of Anubis On the House of Anubis page in the description it says it was the first soap opera created for children and teens. I also read the soap opera page to see the qualifications for something to be a soap opera and it fits the description. The acting is also shot only once like a soap opera. It is also on every day like a soap opera. Do you still disagree? Why? Thepoodlechef (talk) 23:01, 1 April 2012 (UTC) Oh okay I didn't realize that. I just read the genre and it didn't immediately include soap opera. Sorry. Didn't mean to cause trouble. I no longer disagree. Creativity97(Talk) 23:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC) Oh Ok! So I've never watched any other soap operas besides House of Anubis before... Are there any fantasy soap operas in America? Thepoodlechef (talk) 01:35, 7 April 2012 (UTC) No that I know of, but I'll let you know if I ever find any :) Creativity97 (Talk) 15:01, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie last name[edit]

Both Sweet and Miller have been added to this article and to List of House of Anubis characters and people have been changing between the two since both have been used in the show. The official credit just says "Eddie" at http://www.nick.com/shows/house-of-anubis/characters/eddie.html and does not list a last name at all. (They don't list last names for any of the main characters, by the way - so an argument could be made that this article should not list last names for any credited main cast's character name either). Adding a last name to "Eddie" adds nothing to this article, and is unnecessary for the purpose of this article anyway - it is trivia that is better explained in the list of characters article, not here. The explanation that he was lying about one of them is original research unless show content (needs an in show ref) has the character explicit stating this. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:40, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also if a reference does explain this it should be well explained at List of House of Anubis characters#Eddie before adding anything that conflicts with that article here. Geraldo Perez (talk)
Confirmed credited as Eddie Miller in end credits. See http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/house-of-anbuis-287-288-289-290-finale-senkhara-full-episode.html at 44:32. Don't know how long link will be active. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:10, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

German Version?[edit]

We all know about the Dutch version of the show. There's also a German remake (Das Haus Anubis). Should we add it to the International Distribution-section? --88.65.219.150 (talk) 19:42, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Lockwood[edit]

Hey, i don't understand why there is no link to Bobby Lockwood's wikipedia page, I check and he actually has one, so I don't understand why no one bothered to fix that 85.40.209.178 (talk) 16:52, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Original run[edit]

Are there any sources that say House of Anubis is over..? The director hinted towards a possible fourth season.[1] Even if it has been a while since the last episode aired, we can't be 100% sure that the series is over until there is an announcement stating so. Prcc★27 (talk) 05:04, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A year without a notice of renewal through the normal announcement channels is sufficient to say the show is not going to be renewed. We can't leave "present" hanging forever on a TV series article. After a year with nothing being said it is a fair presumption that nothing will ever be said, the show is no longer of any interest to Viacom. It's over. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Geraldo Perez: But we can't say the series ended based on a "presumption"; that might violate WP:CRYSTAL. Furthermore, since there aren't any sources, that would be a violation of WP:Reliable Sources. According to @Cyphoidbomb: this is why leaving it as "present" is necessary:

Cyphoidbomb Can you link us directly to the community standard you were referring to..? Otherwise, I think we should go back to "TBD". Prcc★27 (talk) 05:36, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Prcc27, based on observations of standard practice, we don't use "TBD" in infoboxes. "TBD" is also essentially meaningless and other members of the general Wikipedia community (beyond TV, that is) find it rather pointless. As it was once explained to me, there's nothing wrong with leaving a table field blank. I understand that perspective. I also think that "To be determined" or "to be announced" is an implicit promise that the information will be presented, which isn't always the case, since cartoon networks rarely announce cancellations, they instead just neglect to mention pickups at upfronts. How do you prove that a series has ended if nobody at the network talks about it anymore? You're basically trying to prove a negative, which is difficult.
To directly address your question, WP:TVFAQ explains the current attitude toward the last_aired parameter of Template:Infobox television. This entry is based primarily on observed common usage in the television community, and is the best we have on the matter, since change is not so fast at this WikiProject or the related MOS articles, template docs, etc. The series end dates are a point of particular annoyance for me, because I would prefer that we take some sort of position on how to present this information so that we don't have series perpetually in "present" status years after they stopped airing. I believe that Geraldo Perez and I share similar opinions on this issue. TheFutonCritic assumes that series that haven't aired in 12 months or issued news about the series' future, are cancelled, but adding this content by itself has been met with some resistance. But really, we're talking about a minor shift in perspective, and one that I wish the WikiProject Television community was quick to adopt: "First aired" doesn't necessarily mean "premiere" it could also include full preview episodes (for example the ones that Nick sometimes airs) and "Last aired" doesn't necessarily mean "cancelled", only that X date was the last date an episode aired. While a series is active, "Present" is appropriate to use under "Last aired", but if there has been a major lull in new episodes (for example, a one year lull), we should simply downgrade the currentness of the series from Present to the specific date aired. It would then be easy to add prose to the effect of, "{{As of|2014|08|14}} no cancellation had been officially announced, and the last episode to air was broadcast MM/DD/YYYY" without taking a stand one way or another that the series was chopped. This is another argument for why we should stop using "Premiere/Finale" language in overview tables, and instead use First aired/Last aired, as they allow for more flexibility where needed. (GP and I are also in agreement on this issue from other discussions.) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, makes sense. I lean towards leaving it blank but won't fight too hard against putting the date of the last aired episode. Prcc★27 (talk) 08:12, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Prcc27 I assume from the above that you would not object to putting air date of the final episode as last_aired. To add a reference from a reliable secondary source to support this see Futon critic info for show and the statement there "ADDITIONAL NOTES: a show on hiatus for longer than 12 months - without any news about its future - is assumed to be canceled" and "BROADCAST HISTORY: 1/1/11 - 6/17/13". I don't think a hopeful statement from one of the directors counts for much given that Viacom/Nickelodeon, who makes the decisions, has said nothing. Also I think "cancelled" is the wrong concept anyway. All the planned episodes were aired and a special episode was created and aired as a finale. The network just didn't order any more episodes for the show beyond that. Officially this is the final word from Viacom. Cyphoidbomb I think the current statement at WP:TVFAQ about last_aired should be revisited. 5 years with "present" adds no value to any TV series article, 1 year should be sufficient and we should follow example in Futon Critic. Geraldo Perez (talk) 13:04, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Disclosure: I was the one who penned that line in the FAQ about keeping series persistently present. I didn't agree with it, but it seemed to be the community's norm and preference. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:28, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I thought general sense of the discussion at Template talk:Infobox television#Proposal to change last_aired parameter instructions was support for following Futon Critics method of declaring a series over. That discussion was the major reason I declared this TV series done. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. You know, I've started so many of these "can we update this?" discussions, that I've lost track. I would have preferred more voices for stronger "consensus", though since there are a lot of editors who do a lot of work in the field who almost never come by WT:TV. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible for us to add a footnote explaining that a new season hasn't been announced for more than a year but that the show hasn't technically been "cancelled." I wouldn't have any issue with putting the date of the last aired episode in that case. Prcc★27 (talk) 00:59, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How about using citing Futon Critic as a reference for the last_aired date in the infobox and in the cite quote attribute what they say in their additional notes "a show on hiatus for longer than 12 months - without any news about its future - is assumed to be canceled". Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:12, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Prcc★27 (talk) 04:40, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
