Talk:Teaser trailer

Merge?
Shouldn't this topic be merged with Trailer (film)? (Since it's just a type of trailer.) --Jca2112 21:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand your argument; however, nearly 50 articles link here, indicating that an article specifically about teaser trailers is relevant to them. If they had to point to a specific target in the "trailer" article, there would be a risk that the heading would get changed at some point and readers would be confused or annoyed by having to read a whole article about film trailers in general to find out what a teaser trailer is ... in fact, many might not bother reading that far.

 * Redirecting to a section is now possible.--Patrick 14:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Against merge. --mixer (talk) 01:47, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Support merge, a teaser trailer is a a trailer and can be called as such. More importantly, "teaser trailer" has no 3rd party sources (the one it does have never uses the phrase "teaser trailer" and simply calls it a trailer, while the "trailer" article is supported by outside sources. Teasers are a sub type of trailer and the distinction just isn't notable to have two separate articles.Flygongengar (talk) 23:55, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

How about this new-ish trend of having Teasers for upcoming Trailers? (A current example is the Trailer Teaser for the upcoming 2nd full Trailer for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN10QltBBtE ) If there's a merge, consider the inclusion of this added subdivision in the marketing. 134.114.101.31 (talk) 12:26, 17 May 2014 (UTC)ehcmier

Strongly against merge, and would cite editors voting absent deep understanding as a tremendous issue at Wikipedia. Teasers are not simply a sub-category of trailers, as indicated above. This is a concept from marketing and advertising, and is broader than the specific application to film (where, for its appearance in video simply makes it the most evident). See, e.g., this scholarly source. And stop voting on things based on hunches or other forms of limited understanding. 2601:246:C700:9B0:85F5:DED0:5B7:A091 (talk) 22:15, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

For movies
The lead makes clear that teaser campaigns for movies are only a leading subset of teaser campaigns. But there is only one substantial section, 1. For movies; nor any See also or External links about teaser campaigns elsewhere. --P64 (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * P.S. Now I add above another banner with Stub classification. --P64 (talk) 18:30, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * A very reasonable issue with this article, alongside its substanital issues with cribbed or otherwise unsourced content. 2601:246:C700:9B0:85F5:DED0:5B7:A091 (talk) 22:16, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Major issues with article. including plagiarism
The copy editing that is also needed pales in comparison to these fundamental, and dishonest aspects of the current article. Curiously, the plagiarism's presentation of primary sources on this subject make clear that reliable sources exist, though they have been entirely ignored by this article's editors. 2601:246:C700:9B0:85F5:DED0:5B7:A091 (talk) 22:41, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Appearance of author-date scholarly publication style indicate that the closing paragraph of the lede as well as an entire further section were plagiarised from some work using that style without the thoroughness of pasting in the corresponding citations from that secondary source's cited literature section. Hence, plagiarism alerts are added.
 * Presentation of off-the-cuff, non-scholarly original editor research to the section on the application of this concept to the movie industry (in the section addressing teaser trailers)—only a single sentence of which has subsequently been sourced—is non-encyclopedic content that also includes rampant editorialising. Hence, the original research, refimprove, and inline tags were added.
 * The article uses illustrations from examples in the 1920s and 1930s, the selection of which, as examples, is also original research, as no source indicating these as examples of teasers appears in the text; moreover, the purported examples are not even described in the text, making both the illustrations and the article more confusing, incomplete, and less encyclopedic. No change was made to indicate this issue.
 * It's been over 8 months, could an administrator or someone else who knows what to do figure out how to properly get rid of the big warning and the offending content? maybe, as you focus on copyright stuff? Thanks, DemonDays64 (talk) 03:19, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Teaser (trailer) → Teaser trailer – As per WP:NCDAB, "Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation". The term "teaser trailer" is commonly used (enough to already be in the lead!), and so we should resort to that. BappleBusiness[talk] 05:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Support Per WP:NATURAL, as there is virtually no difference between the version with and without the parenthesis. That said, it should probably be redirected or merged to Trailer (promotion) immediately thereafter, it doesn't indicate the standalone importance of its subject compared to trailers in general. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:37, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION. Rreagan007 (talk) 07:00, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. Very commonly used, probably more commonly so than simple "teaser". -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:57, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
