[edit] List of Hellsing media

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. It provides no useful information to readers, as it as absolutely zero prose. Delete as listcruft and possibly fancruft. Axem Titanium 01:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep, this appears to be a section split off from the original article. Almost all articles on TV series and movies where there have been multiple releases of the media have a section exactly on this topic. As Hellsing is a very popular anime and manga series both in Japan and in the United States, there are all sorts of various releases of it, including all the volumes of the manga and various formats and versions of the TV series and movies. Thus, it was split into a second article to be more reader-friendly rather than covering the original article with this list-like information. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 03:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I created this page because of Wikipedia guidlines, not in spite of them. This comes straight from the WikiProject Anime and Manga page:

"Lists of episode titles, manga volumes, voice actors, theme songs, etc., should be placed towards the end of the article. If these lists take up a large amount of space, consider moving them to a separate page titled List of (series) media. Other list-type information (such as soundtracks that do not merit individual articles) should also be placed on this page. For an example implementation see Cowboy Bebop and List of Cowboy Bebop media."

It states that we should have a seperate page for the Hellsing media rather than having it take up all that room on the main page. So what's the problem? --- Hellspawn

• Keep - Bad precedent to delete them. There's lots of similar lists all over Wikipedia that have stayed, this should be no different. Halo 15:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, like a discography for an artist or an episode list for a series, it's a nice index of related material. It's hardly so broad as to be indiscriminate. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 17:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for all the reasons stated above. Many TV series articles have episode listings, and many manga series have chapter listings. I looked at Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and couldn't find anything regarding lists of media. Furthermore, this statement "it provides no useful information to readers, as it as absolutely zero prose." is pretty ridiculous. I know from browsing forums that many people find the list useful. And I don't think something needs to be prose to be useful. Adding prose to the list would simply bloat the article. Schrödinger 18:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per others, particular the note of this being bad precedent. - CNichols 18:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, potentially useful information which isn't similarly collated elsewhere off-wiki. Sockatume 19:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
