Thomas and friends video - release

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a directory of listcruft. Corvus cornix 23:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep The list is factual, verifiable, and notable.  The fact that it is of interest to the minority of the population who are interested in a set of stories about anthropomorphised railway engines does not make it cruft, it simply makes it a minority interest list.  Wikipedia is enhanced bhy the presence of such material. Weak Delete I had not realised this was weaseling around a deletion threat previously, I thought it was a typo (release/releases).  It is also not supported by a key member of WP:THOMAS.  On that basis it may take its chance.  Fiddle Faddle 23:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Redundant info. Each heading leads to an article about that season, episodes are listeed on both pages. Seems like listcruft to me. Ridernyc 23:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete This article is just a list of the videos of the subject. Now lets take the issues one at a time. Factual - I have no reason to believe that it not correct. Verifiable - There is not a single reference or source, so this is demonstrably false. Notable - I do not dispute that the main subject matter (Thomas the Tank Engine) is notable. But I seriously question whether a list of videos is notable! In fact, I would ask as to whether it infringes the WP:SPAM criteria. At the end of the day, this article is simply a list, and contain zero factual or encyclopedic information!! Perhaps the article should be renamed so that readers do know that it is a list.

 * Delete and salt; this list is yet another bad-faith attempt to avoid the redirections of Thomas-merchandise articles. This list was previously at Thomas and Friends video releases, which was sensibly turned into a redirect. I'm going to nominate Thomas & friends TOMY wind ups as that is another attempt to avoid the necessary redirection of Thomas Tomy Wind Ups. Masaruemoto 01:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Do we really need this Thomas the Tank Engine content. Are the indivdual season notable enough to have their own page and every episode have a detailed entry. 02:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * wow there is really no reason every character should have their own article.Ridernyc 02:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:LC. Stifle (talk) 20:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: This information was turned into a redirect before, I don't see how an extra hyphen changes anything. Nburden 23:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, burn and pour salt on the ground per nom. --Legis (talk - contribs) 00:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
