Proposed deletion of A Concert by the Lake


The article A Concert by the Lake has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Despite the big names, this video has not been noted in enough reliable third-party publications. Also, there should be an article about Band du Lac, which itself would have to pass the notability test before products like this are eligible for articles.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

 * I actually started the page as an article for Band du Lac themselves, but got sidetracked by the DVD. The band are notable under WP:BAND criterion 6, so I assumed the DVD would be too, but after reading WP:NALBUMS I guess not. I've moved it out of article space for now so I can reuse some of it for the BdL page, and I'll put it up for speedy deletion when I'm done. Is that a good compromise?

Family Guy DVDs
In regards to your edit summary the episode pages Family Guy (season 3) for example, use one color for the whole page. Please note, there isn't different colors between each episode listed. You had many different colors in close fashion which made it very distracting to read. C T J F 8 3 06:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I was actually referring to the main list of Family Guy episodes page (and most other list of episodes pages), where there's a different colour for each season that are (mostly) based on the DVD covers, and where they have summaries they're each divided by a line of colour, so they're the theories I applied to the DVD page. But I do take your point, that's why I took them out before re-applying my edits. Sorry for being so curt in the summary, but it was just that the colours weren't the only change I made, and it was quite annoying to see the whole thing reverted just for the sake of one aspect. If it gets reverted again for another reason, so be it. No hard feelings. - Monkeynutbar (talk) 07:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ya, sorry, I was being lazy. No hard feelings here. :) Plus, I've been here almost 5 years and hate messing with colors/tables, so you know more about it then I do. C T J F 8 3  17:48, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Comic Book Men
Hi. Regarding your edits to Comic Book Men, what material in the article was a copyright violation? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 06:47, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That was just in reference to my last edit to the podcast section. The descriptions for episodes 4 and 5 were lifted from the SModcast site, with the only change being the addition of "Jack's Guy" to Rob Bruce's name. (Incidentally, so was the description for episode 6 until you changed it.) My previous edit was just for consistency, as the first 3 episode summaries only briefly mention the main plot and describe some of the customers while #6 went into detail about the plot and didn't mention any customers. I just forgot to add an edit summary to that one. Sorry for the confusion. -- Monkeynutbar (talk) 08:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * S'Okay. Just asking. :-) Nightscream (talk) 13:50, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries. -- Monkeynutbar (talk) 15:51, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

List of Comic Book Men episodes
Alright. :-) Nightscream (talk) 19:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * What is the most "significant" part of an episode is obviously subject to opinion. The convention I've developed over the past few years of working on the List of Pawn Stars episodes article is to first list the items appraised, since that is what takes up the majority of the episode's running time, and not the soft-scripted aspect of it, which get a small mention in the first two Acts, and then the payoff in the episode's final moments. I don't know if the hypothetical question of "which episode is that" is really applicable, given the content and structure of these types of reality shows. Moreover, some of these plots arise from or are inspired by the encounters that shop staff have with the customers, as with the "Ghostbusting at the Stash" episode, which is why adding the scripted aspect afterwards can make more sense. As for AMC's descriptions, they probably uses the scripted portion in their description because that's the only aspect of an episode that lends itself to a plot description, as opposed to just a list of items. But that doesn't mean that that is what an episode is "about", or that it's more "significant". I agree with consistency, and have been fairly consistent throughout this season, and I intend to go back and do the same for the first.
 * Yes, a few bytes is not much. I have no problems with bandwidth or loading times, and since I do all or most of the current writing of the synopses, having all the different values' information easy to discern at a glance is helpful.
 * I apologize for the podcast info; I didn't realize that I removed some information when I reverted the format. I tried to restore what I think was the removed podcast info just now; let me know if it worked. Nightscream (talk) 19:16, 10 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean "significant" as any kind of judgement over content or anything, just that the soft-scripted part usually takes up a more "significant" amount of screen time. Usually about half of the episode is dedicated to it, whereas the other items each get only 2 or 3 minutes coverage. Plus, as I said, they're what gives each episode its title. Also, the question of "what episode is that" should indeed be considered when writing these short summaries. Keep in mind that there are 2 types of people reading these pages: those who want a (more or less) full synopsis and will gladly read as much as you give them, and those who just want to identify the episodes and don't want to read through a whole paragraph each time for what amounts to one sentence worth of information. It's the same reason why articles have ledes.
 * You may not have any problems with bandwidth or loading time, I may not either (in general), but not everyone has broadband, and some that do have a limit to how much they can download within a specific period. Also, I don't know about you, but occasionally my connection can just go to shit for no reason, and it will take a ridiculous amount of time to load a simple page. My point is that while a few bytes may not seem like much, that's, say, and extra 50 bytes per template, per page view, and it can add up.
 * But whatever. We've already spent too much time discussing this rather minor issue. Do what you think's best. --Monkeynutbar (talk) 04:00, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The soft-scripted part does not take up half of the episode. Most of the episode is usually taken up by the appraisal of the items brought in or purchased by customers. Often the soft-scripted portion of the plot isn't even clear to me until the final Act or end of the episode. By contrast, when I write the summaries while watching the episodes, the first things that go in are the appraised items. This is the convention I've used for years in the Pawn Stars articles, and I think the person writing the synopses should be given some leeway on this.


 * I didn't say that the question of "what episode is that" should not be considered. I said that I don't think it's applicable. Allow me to clarify: I do not know that fans of the series reference the episodes according to plots the way that they do with fully-scripted TV series, and if they do, that they do so according to the soft-scripted portions of them. That's a presumption.


 * I'm going to maintain the template arrangement in a way that facilitates easy writing and discernment at a glance. Sorry, but I'm not going to change that over 50 bytes. But if a consensus of the community makes it clear they do not want this, then I'll abandon that practice.


 * Regarding the podcast, can you link me to the diff in question? I usually do that in discussions like this because it makes it clear to the other editor which edit I'm referring to. I thought I had restored the material that I had previously removed. Sorry if I didn't do so entirely. Nightscream (talk) 12:22, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
