 * Keep perfectly legitimate list article split off from main article. Consistent with policy. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:16, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTCATALOG is policy. This is nothing more than a catalog.  How is this consistent?  -- wooden  superman  16:24, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Tentatively keep and improve. As per WP:NOTCATALOG, lists of creative works are permitted if they aren't simple lists and if they're written in an encyclopedic manner. Although Synapse is merely a film distributor, they include original bonus content with each release, which I would argue warrants its own list (or, at the very least, a mention). In its current state, the list is quite simple and unencyclopedic, but could be worked on to meet list standards. I've made this a tentative keep because the company itself isn't tremendously notable (although it was NfD in the past and kept), which might make proper sourcing and encyclopedic writing a challenge.

 * Delete. A list of DVD or BluRay releases is essentially a list of products .... WP:NOTCATALOG. Ajf773 (talk) 17:35, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DIRECTORY. An indiscriminate list and non-encyclopedic cross categorisation based on a distribution company. The company itself is marginally notable at best, so the list amounts to WP:Promo product listing. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, J04n(talk page) 13:37, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Selective merge to Synapse Films. This list probably doesn't meet WP:LISTN, but could fit in the main article, which is short enough to fit a list of releases sans the "item code" and "edition" which decidedly fail WP:NOTCATALOG. ansh 666 07:44, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
