List of HD DVD releases

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

This is a list that doesn't seem to have a place on Wikipedia. The external links (which can be added to the HD DVD article instead) are better suited to list these releases. We don't have a List of VHS releases article. This article is likely to be constantly out-of-date, and its inclusion on Wikipedia adds no value. —Cleared as filed. 06:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete List will very soon become completely unmaintainable, if it is not already. Resolute 07:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The list would have been useful when only a few were available but now that HD DVD is being sold in large quantities this will become too long and would be outdated daily. A category could replace this but even that would be rather pointless if HD DVD replaces DVD. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

 * Delete. In the long term, this is unmaintainable, especially if HD-DVD ends up being the prevailing format. There is no List of Beta releases, so even if HD DVD goes the way of the dodo, it still is too broad a topic for a list. 23skidoo 14:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete This may have been notable if the fact that something has been released in this format is an interesting fact, but the fact that so many are, and will be, means that this is irrelevent, so much so that it does not even deserve a category. J Milburn 19:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, but possibly reinstate if Blu-ray wins the war. -Toptomcat 00:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP, I have changed the American releases to ABC order. The list can be maintained but users will need to work on it each week. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.82.220.77 (talk) 08:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
 * Comment: Just because something is maintainable, does not mean that it should be kept. This has no real encyclopedic value. J Milburn 15:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've also nominated List of Blu-ray releases for deletion along the same lines; see Articles for deletion/List of Blu-ray releases. —Cleared as filed. 16:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I can only see this being useful as a shopping guide for the short period of time when we only have a few HD-DVD releases, and that's not something for Wikipedia. -- Ned Scott 18:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep ... again*** While this isnt the usual wikipedia type article, it is highly useful as a shopping guide and could become very active if blu ray fails. At some point this must be deleated, however until we see such a flurry of titles that this becomes unmaintainable or unneccesseray, I vfeel that this article should be updated periodically to help out the consumer. EDIT : I Compleatly agree with DGG —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.82.220.77 (talk) 18:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
 * A shopping guide is something which Wikipedia is pretty definitely not. Also, you've already !voted. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 21:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Eventually there will be way too many releases on the HD-DVD format to keep track of. Maniac 00:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * keep eventually there will be too many, but not for a while. We can then rename it something like list of early HD releases in 2007(or possibly 2007 and 8), DGG 04:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above Teply 02:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Great idea for a list!!! Dwain 00:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Static Universe talk 05:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
