[edit] Disney's 65 episode policy

A combination of fan speculation, very mild fancruft, original research, and opinions. Disney cartoons aren't specially singled out; nearly all network and syndicated animated shows stop after 65 episodes (because at 65, the studio have enough episodes to broadcast for each weekday for 13 weeks--a full season). I'd say to delete this article with no redirect, and make a mention of the policy at an article for television syndication. FuriousFreddy 10:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per FuriousFreddy. -- Kjkolb 12:21, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless appropriate text/references are provided regarding an identifiable DisneyCo policy. Industry economics make this a standard run for shows, but I think saying "nearly all" overstates its case. Monicasdude 19:22, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Rename to just 65 episode policy. Topic is notable and need to be reserched futher Guerberj 19:56, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
  • What more can be said besides providing the reasons why the shows are cancelled after 65 episodes that doesn't venture into fan speculation/wishing? Anything that can be said about the topic can be said in two sentences. There is no point to try and make a "list of network/syndicated cartoons canclled after 65 episodes" it would literally include 70% of all televison cartoons produced within the last twenty years. --FuriousFreddy 20:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• reluctant Delete i agree that it should be deleted but i despise the elitist anti "fancruft" philosophy of Freddy - i hate those people that want Wikipedia to only be about stuff like Shakespeare and nuclear physics. 143.238.233.214 10:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • My use of "fancruft" here is to define the non-neutral speculation and blaiming for the shows' cancellation, as if there were some sort of a conspiracy for their cancelations, and the inherent non-neutral opinions and suppositions that new episodes should have continued to have been made. The article is not encyclopediaic, and it is not an encyclopediaic topic. No, Wikipedia doesn't have to be just about Shakespeare and nuclear physics, but it should treat all subjects in a scholarly manner, and not present articles about children's shows based upon fan speculation. --FuriousFreddy 14:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
