List of Trinity Blood episodes
Definitely fits all the criteria for a featured list. I hereby nominate this list.--Jack Cox 03:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC) Once those are done, we can look at prose and episode summaries. One idea: Since this is a single season - could this become a media list for the whole series including books and other media? --GunnarRene 17:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Object The plot summaries don't actaully summarize the episodes. Some are single sentences that merely establish the episode rather than summarizing it. Some read like teasers, one even included a question. Wikipedia is not advertising for the show, nor does it ask the general reader questions. In addition, the fair use rationales are insufficient. Don't just say the image aides the plot outline, explain how it is aiding the plot. Tell us specifically why that screenshot was chosen. Right now, a non-fan cannot tell the difference between a carefully selected image that represents and a significant aspect of the episode and a randomly chosen image that just happens to come from the episode in question. The list entries are 75% redlinks. I believe the manual of style suggests that lists not use redlinks for its members unless at least two thirds of the entries are already blue links, in this case that would be 16 out of 24. Removing the redlinks may be better than making 10 to 18 stub articles. Jay32183 05:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose per excessive use of fair use images. Other issues: tiny lead and red links. Renata 19:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Object The type of object against Fair Use in lists offered by Renata here can usually be ignored, but in this case there is a slightly different and valid "proportion of reproduction" concern: Proportion of reproduction is not just a number of images in one article - it is how many images you take from one work and what percentage of the work is reprodueced, it is WHICH images are used (as Jay refers to) and it is the image size and resolution. With that in mind here are my substantial objections:
 * All images need to go through fairusereduced. For the purpose of the episode article they don't need to be more than about 250 to 320 pixels wide.
 * The image summary pages need the treatment outlined by Jay above (See List of X-Men episodes or List of RahXephon media for how it can be done).
 * Either complete the episode articles, or temporarily remove the links to them. It is not certain that you should have articles to all episodes; perhaps only some were particularly notable for example.
 * The lead should be expanded.
 * Object The plot summaries on associated episode page are short and the episodes are non-notable. They could be merged into this list.  I would also like to double GunnarRene's suggestion of making it a media page.  Finally, the Japanese characters tag is useless template-spam.  --Kunzite 00:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
