Lake Placid (film series)

This article is redundant, unnecessary, and messy, and contains no new and little contents which are merely copies of contents from another article. TurokSwe (talk) 17:50, 10 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - There's a template directly below with the films in thus making this entire article redundant ?....., So I'm not really understanding why this "article" was ever created.... – Davey 2010 Talk 00:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep as creator. Clearly notable.  I created this stub to provide an overview/umbrella of the series.  It can always be improved on.  The fact that there is a navbox is irrelevant, in actual fact there should be an article to justify the navbox.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:49, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: If kept, this could merit a rename to Lake Placid franchise, as the series spans several films and some games as well. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:06, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NCF, the correct disambiguator would be "(franchise)", however, a couple of promotional tie in web games do not satisfy the definition of a franchise. There is already a move discussion in place.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:02, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the real issue here is that it doesn't please YOU. TurokSwe (talk) 09:16, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The real issue is that you don't understand what qualifies as a franchise by our definition, and you have no respect for our guidelines or MOS and you have made a rather WP:POINTY AFD. --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:52, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. What other article does this duplicate? Of course it will have some overlap with the component parts of the franchise, but deleting it on those grounds would be like deleting Car because we have articles on every individual part of the car. bd2412  T 14:53, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - nothing notable about this series. Furthermore this article is somewhat pointless; for example, the table listing all the characters as they appear in the series reveals that only two appeared in more than one film (and those two only appeared in two). So basically each movie gets a whole new cast and there is no crossover. —Мандичка YO 😜 01:43, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
