Talk:List of accolades received by Netflix

Change of title
An article named "List of accolades received by Netflix" would normally just inform about accolades received (exclusively/directly) by Netflix. As Netflix is a streaming platform, a US distribution company, an International distribution company and also a Tv and Film production company keeping the current name could be misleading into thinking that Netflix itself is in the receiving end of all those awards instead of the filmmakers and TV makers that really received them. A change to "List of accolades received by productions streamed by Netflix" or anything similar would solve the misleading problem. Following suggestion from User:CambridgeBayWeather I started this talk to see if we can avoid the current misleading title. As it is now, it seems to not follow the WP rules of precision, cohesion and lack of ambiguity Nitsugagmx (talk) 01:08, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Sources and Colors
First this article has many problems. A large problem is the lack of proper sources. Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores should all be properly referenced, every single one them, but at present none of them are. Not even one. Please note Verifiability "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports[2] the material." This is me challenging that material for not having proper sources. I've seen too many articles where the wrong information went uncorrected or user scores were misrepresented as if they were the critic score, to accept tables full of information that does not include inline references allowing editors and readers to actually check it. I also have seen too many terrible quality list articles where no one has any interest in fixing these kinds of problems, so both tables should be probably removed entirely unless and until someone is willing to include proper sources. (I know there was already more citation needed banner tag at the top of the article but I do think it is necessary to specifically tag the sections that are not properly referenced to make this clear.)

Second, I have concerns about the use of colors in these tables. This is a more minor problem than the utter lack of proper sources but these colors just seems unnecessary. My preference would be to remove the colors entirely. Words have meaning, templates have semantic meaning too, and it does not seem appropriate to use the templates and  to color the scores. Even if it was appropriate to use colors in this way there should have been a legend or key to explain what the different colors are supposed to represent. I know what they mean but readers should not have to guess. There is also something disconcerting about using GREEN to represent positive scores (fresh 100-60%), and RED to represent negative (rotten 59-0%) when Rotten Tomatoes itself uses the colors the other way around.

I am not volunteering to fix the problems in this article myself. I have tried to improve low quality articles before only to see them deleted anyway. WP:V already allows me to challenge and remove material that is not properly sourced, so if after some time there has been no improvement (or even suggestion that someone plans to improve the article) I can still remove the unreferenced section. For now I have tagged the sections that need sources and I do hope someone might improve the article. -- 109.78.203.13 (talk) 20:34, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Move"List of accolades received by Netflix" to "List of accolades received by productions streamed by Netflix"
Current name does not follow the WP rules of precision, cohesion and lack of ambiguity. The previous name could be misleading into thinking that Netflix itself is in the receiving end of all those awards instead of the filmmakers and TV makers that really receive them or that Netflix produced all those titles (sometimes Netflix only bought distribution rights) Nitsugagmx (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
