Talk:Treasure Island (TV franchise)

Location
Where is the exact location of the show ? Arthasfleo


 * I believe There are two islands that have been used.


 * The Island used most often is in the Mamanuca group of islands. However it's so small that I can't actually find it on Google Maps or in satellite photos. There are two islands in very close proximity (at low tide it's possible to walk between them, otherwise it is a short swim) - one serves as the 'hero' island, and the other is used by the crew. No permanent accommodation exists on either of those islands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.28.207.39 (talk) 10:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Requested move 9 August 2018

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: MOVED to Treasure Island (TV franchise). There's quite a clear consensus of moving this somewhere, but also quite a bit of opposition of using the bare "franchise" disambiguator. "TV franchise" appears the overall least controversial disambiguator; if desired, another RM to move to a different disambiguator can be started immediately.

Treasure Island (show) → Treasure Island (franchise) – While the focus of this article is the New Zealand version of the Treasure Island reality competition programme, it also covers versions of the show in other countries (Australia and Ireland). Thus, as per the precedent of Survivor (franchise), this article should be moved to Treasure Island (franchise). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:53, 9 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 23:00, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'd support such a move if all the New Zealand season specific information (including in the infobox) would be removed as that has no place in a franchise article, else split out the New Zealand into a separate article if the show is notable for its own. --Gonnym (talk) 21:20, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Feel free to do that, if I forget and don't get to it. I've already revised the lede to match the article's content covering all three versions. There does need to be some info about the New Zealand version (e.g. number of seasons, and hosts, etc.), but I don't think there's enough there to justify a standalone article for just the New Zealand version. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:06, 9 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Support but this one is nagging at me. The current title is obviously WP:INCDAB and should post-move be redirected to Treasure Island (disambiguation).  But the proposed title also might be confusing due to the Treasure Island novel itself, films based on the novel, and other items on the disambig that could be vaguely considered a franchise. Might we need to consider some additional disambiguation? -- Netoholic @  16:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The novel is probably in the public domain (which means that all the uses there are unrelated to each other) and according to the disambiguation it seems there are no franchise, however now that you did raise that issue, I do see how someone not familiar with this subject could be confused. My question is, do we take into account a "possible confusion over something that could exist but doesn't"? --Gonnym (talk) 16:59, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Answer: That's what hatnotes are for! It's impossible to cover every eventuality with simply an article title, which is why we have things like hatnotes – certainly a hatnote can be added if there is any concern over confusion between this and works spawned from the book. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:08, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Both the current title and the suggested title are poor, to be honest. Any TV adaptation of the book could be considered a "show". How about Treasure Island (reality show) or Treasure Island (reality franchise)? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * You are correct, any TV adaption can be considered a TV series, that's why we have Treasure Island (1977 miniseries), Treasure Island (1978 TV series) and Treasure Island (2012 miniseries). This article is the only franchise article with this name, there is no need for further disambiguation. Also, just as a side note, both options you suggested are not supported by WP:NCTV guidelines. --Gonnym (talk) 13:25, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Several other options at Treasure Island (disambiguation) could also be classified as franchises, including Treasure Island (store) and the extant Treasure Island chain of grocery stores, so a different disambiguator might help. Dekimasu よ! 01:49, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Treasure Island (TV franchise)? Treasure Island (media franchise)? Hyperbolick (talk) 17:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * My response to all of the previous comments here is that we do not "preemptively" disambiguate on Wikipedia. There is no other extant "franchise" article that exists right now, so Treasure Island (franchise) is sufficient. As I said above, if anyone is worried about any confusion, deal with it with a hatnote... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:33, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If this is intended to also be a response to my comment, then I've pointed out that there are other extant articles that could be called "franchises". It is not preemptive disambiguation to require a disambiguator to be unambiguous. John Smith (scientist) would not be an appropriate title for a new article because there are many John Smiths who could be called scientists, despite the fact that there is no other article using the exact disambiguator "(scientist)". Dekimasu よ! 18:31, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The issue I see with that is that WP:NCCORP makes no allowance for (i.e. make no mention of) using "franchise" as a disambiguator for companies, so I'm not convinced that Treasure Island (franchise) is in any way likely to be confused with the store chain. IOW, I am not convinced that Treasure Island (franchise) is somehow "insufficient disambiguation". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:38, 21 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Move somewhere. Some move is necessary as "(show)" could just as easily apply to any of the other shows, and it should point to the disambiguation page per WP:INCDAB. How about Treasure Island (reality show)? That seems to be the easiest way.--Cúchullain t/ c 19:05, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Nope – we don't disambiguate by genre under WP:NCTV. There simply isn't a good answer, short of Treasure Island (franchise), because Treasure Island (TV series) just doesn't quite cover the topic. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:34, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * We don't slavishly follow guidelines when it doesn't make sense just to say we've done it. We can disambiguate any way we choose when the situation calls for it. (reality show) would distinguish the article from other topics better than probably any other option. However, I would also support (TV franchise).--Cúchullain t/ c 13:07, 30 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Note: has created a redirect at Treasure Island (TV franchise) – of the available options, and based on this discussion, moving this article to Treasure Island (TV franchise) is probably the least objectionable option, so I'll throw my support behind that, if a move Treasure Island (franchise) simply isn't going to happen....  --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:37, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - while not part of WP:NCTV, I've always wondered why we use "franchise" and not "TV format" for articles which are about the general TV format such as this. For current optional suggestions TV franchise is good enough. --Gonnym (talk) 17:12, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's a separate discussion – "(franchise)" vs. "(TV franchise)" (similarly, "(miniseries)" vs. "(TV miniseries)") – worth having some time... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:42, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
