Talk:The Witcher (Netflix TV series)

Confusion
Why redirected, and what is the relation between this article and Draft:The Witcher (TV series)? The topic seems to be exactly the same, and this article seems worse. Thanks, WikiHannibal (talk) 19:22, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Because someone moved the previous article to the draft space just yesterday for no good reason (the article exists on 6 other language versions of Wikipedia and the reasoning for moving into the draft space seems very shady, I am not aware of any rules prohibiting articles about TV series that haven't yet began filming and i've seen articles on Wikipedia about TV series that were made before shooting) and I, shame on me, didn't notice that :(.
 * I'd like to integrate the info that is in the draft space article into this article, but I am not sure whether it's okay with the Wikipedia's rules since the contribution history of the article now in the draft space would be lost. Could you help me, can I just copy-paste the remaining info from the draft space article into this article or do I have to do something more than that? Thanks.
 * As for the redirect, that's to distinguish from the Polish TV series on the same topic and by the same name (IDK why the article is called The Hexer, the series' original title was The Wiedzmin which translates from Polish as the Witcher), and I modelled the naming convention after the The Office (UK TV series) and The Office (U.S. TV series) articles Openlydialectic (talk) 20:14, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your reply. As for the redirect/name, The Hexer was the/an? original "official" translation of the 2002 Wiedzmin series (BTW where did the combination "The Wiedzmin" of yours come from?), see for example the DVD cover at IMDB. So it cannot be mistaken for "The Witcher TV series", the names being different. I understand your reasons but the fact they are both adapatations of the "same" story is irrelavant. The naming convention you used is used for titles which are "exactly" the same. I suggest to return to the original name of the article. Also I think The Witcher (TV series) is not necessary (as a disambiguation page).
 * As for the draft, I think best advice would be to discusss it with User:AlexTheWhovian who moved it to draft. At his talk page, the problem is already mentioned. Let me know if you need any help. Further edits (content) would only create more mess. Copying info that was challenged into another article is futile. WikiHannibal (talk) 21:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Television series don't exist as articles until production has actually begun (i.e. filming). This has been determined through the WP:CONSENSUS of WT:TV and WT:MOSTV; there is an actual link supporting it, I'll find it for you as soon as I can. Until then, they exist in the draftspace. Nor are the policies of the English server of Wikipedia based on the policies of the servers of other languages. Cut-and-paste moves to an article such as this are forbidden, and as a result, this article too will be redirected; see Copying within Wikipedia for more information. --  Alex TW 00:49, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I've already replied to you on your talk page, but you asked move the discussion here (falsely claiming that you'd move my post here, which you didn't do). So I am moving my post here myself:
 * >"Television series don't exist as articles until production has actually begun (i.e. filming)."
 * Could you provide a source for that claim? Is that a rule? The article about the US Witcher series exists on 6 other language versions of Wikipedia, including all the largest ones such as the German, French, Russian and Chinese Wikias. There's clearly enough info about the show already to have an article about it and the topic is clearly popular, so I see no reason to remove it except for some personal misinterpretation of the rules unless I am missing some important part of the equation.
 * P.S. You stated in your edit summary removing the latest version of the article that I created: "Creating articles via copying is against Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia". Just an FYI that version wasn't a copy of the previous one. I created the article from the scratch because I didn't know you removed the previous version just a day before and therefore didn't know another version of that article existed. I just noticed there was no article on the TV series and decided to create one. Cheers. Openlydialectic (talk) 16:20, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't see the need for this move, given that the English title of both series is different, even if the Polish title is the same. The Polish show is called "The Witcher" by fans colloquially, but the only official English title was The Hexer. Ausir (talk) 00:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
