Talk:Aqua Teen Hunger Force (season 1)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't think a merge is necessary. This article is fine on its own. I agree, the plot summaries are very excessive and will need to be trimmed up, but a merge is not the proper task to get that done. It's already been merged with 18 different articles. There are 24 episodes in season 2, 13 in season 3, and 13 in season 4. That would take 68 articles and put them into 4. Isn't that good enough? —Zachary talk 23:01, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- The maximum length for a single summary is one paragraph (though these lack any real plot, so it's probably more like two sentences). That is not enough to warrant a separate article, and this doesn't look like it really is going to have any reception or production information that will make it worth keeping. It's exactly the same as placing expanded summaries on the current list. TTN 23:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have added the {{Plot}} tag to encourage people to trim these plot summaries down (see below). —Zachary talk 23:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- What is the point? It's just going to be a short list that is redundant to the main article (again, two or three sentences is the maximum size for each summary). Unless you have real world information for the season, this has no reason to exist. It would be easier to just add to the ones on the list. TTN 23:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- This is a currently produced television that already has 68 episodes. How large would the main episode list be if each episode was even two or three sentences? It would probably become large enough eventually to warrant a split into individual seasons, and even with other information like guest stars, and properly sourced production information (which at least a couple episodes already have, Gee Whiz is one I know of off the top of my head), how large would that make a single page of 68+ episodes? I think it should stay. —Zachary talk 23:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Uh, most of the main list already has two or three sentences. I guess a paragraph is actually fine. At most, I can see it hitting 45 KB, but that also includes the tables, which usually add ten or fifteen (I believe). Guest stars would be placed next to the first mention of the character they play, and that kind of production information can probably be forgotten. TTN 23:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summaries
The plot summaries are way too long and should be shortened up to be at most 1 paragraph each episode. Should be easy to do, even with the total randomness that occurs in an 11 minute episode. —Zachary talk 23:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
