Ted (film series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

With only two films that both have their own pages, this article is rather premature. No prejudice against recreation if a third film is released, but see Articles for deletion/Ted (franchise) for why this should be deleted. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and the related franchise Afd verdict. Two do not make a series. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep As I stated in the previous discussion, Ted is a growing franchise as it has two films, as well as merchandise and games. Albeit the merchandise and games aren't acknowledged in this article, they were in Ted (franchise). A hint in the theme park underworld also says ride though that is unconfirmed and I have no credible source for it. CDRL102 (talk) 00:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Two films alone are not enough to constitute a franchise, and we don't include unconfirmed information per WP:CRYSTAL; all article content must be reliably sourced. I can't find anything on Ted-related games. Merchandise might be available, but that's irrelevant to whether this merits its own article. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 03:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The argument two films does not make a franchise is invalid, as I said in the previous discussion, there are many film franchises on wikipedia with just one film, but they make up for it in other ways, ie merchandise and games, which Ted also has. I know the theme park attraction is unconfirmed, which is why it is not mentioned in this article nor was it mentioned in the previous article. As for the game - http://www.xyi.com/universal/Ted-uk/FistsofFurry/ . As well as that, despite the fact MacFarlane hasn't confirmed the third film, Sam Jones has confirmed he is contracted for one, which in theory is a reliable source. Amanda Seyfried also said she joined the franchise to be in several films. CDRL102 (talk) 15:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I said two films alone aren't enough to make a franchise. A franchise could theoretically contain a TV series and two films, same with a TV series and one film, but two films on their own don't make one. Other franchise articles are irrelevant to this discussion per WP:WAX. The game you linked doesn't really count as an official game as XYi has no confirmed affiliation with the films or even MacFarlane. It's likely fan-made. Merchandise doesn't cut it either and is irrelevant here. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 22:20, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
