Talk:Chapter 1 (House of Cards)

Merger proposal
I propose that Chapter 1 (House of Cards) be merged into House of Cards (season 1). I think that the content in the Chapter article can easily be explained in the context of Season 1, and the Season 1 article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Chapter will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

 * It seems as if the original author of this page is not contributing to this discussion, or anyone else for that matter. I will begin merging the plot section of this page to the season 1 article, in the appropriate section. Additionally, I will be nominating this page for deletion as all other content is copy&pasted from the House of Cards (U.S. TV series). Rgrasmus (talk) 17:21, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Wording for Emmy wins
The "Accolades" section describes the Emmy nominations and wins for this episode, and it can be a little confusing. (This was discussed in the GA nomination, above.)

First off, TonyTheTiger seemed to express concern about the claim that Episode 1 was "the first Emmy-awarded webisode". (He stated "I am not sure if this was the first webisode to win an Emmy on 9/15 since there are also Daytime Emmy Awards and three other types of Emmys. The language here needs to be precise and I am not sure what it should be.") However, sources like and  seem unambiguous on this point. So I don't think that claim needs to be changed.

The open issue is this. In this version of the article, there is an apparent contradiction between the sentences beginning "On September 15" and "On September 22". The first sentence notes that on September 15, the episode won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series, "making [it] the first Emmy-awarded webisode." This is backed up by the sources, and is not in dispute. The second sentence notes several additional Emmy awards that the show received on September 22, "making [it] the first Primetime Emmy-awarded webisode." I don't believe that the additional awards made "Episode 1" the first Primetime Emmy-awarded webisode, because I believe it was already the first Primetime Emmy-awarded webisode back on September 15, when it won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series.

Now it is true that the September 15 award was given at the 65th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards (ceremony), and these Creative Arts Emmy Awards are often considered less prestigious than the awards given at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards (ceremony) on September 22. But Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards are still Primetime Emmy Awards. (Thus the name "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series".)

In order to resolve this, I have changed the text to that in this version. I feel it explains the historic win accurately. (I also varied up the prose a little, and removed the "Netflix made history" claim which felt a little unencyclopedic.) – Quadell (talk) 18:09, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Please be advised that this language needs to be properly revised at Netflix, House of Cards (U.S. TV series), House of Cards (season 1), 65th Primetime Emmy Awards, 65th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, David Fincher, Eigil Bryld, Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series and possibly web television, webisode, and 2013 in American television if we are going to get this right.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:06, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
