[edit] One Tree Hill DVD releases
I have worked a lot on this article in the past, but following a number of discussions stemming from, amongst others, a discussion on a talk page about a similar for Lost here, and a Featured List candidacy that I put forward, it now looks to me that it looks like WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:IINFO, WP:FAN, WP:ADVERTISING, and WP:DIRECTORY. And without mentioning something about how many units have been sold, or whatever, it also seems to fail WP:Notability on WP:PRODUCT. These points were raised in a number of discussions A list of this kind can never stand up to be the best that Wikipedia can offer, which is after all what Featured Status is all about, so I think this page should be gotten rid of.

- Merge a condensed version with the main series article. Discussion of DVD releases is a viable topic for series articles, but you probably don't need to go into extensive detail. See Twin Peaks for an example of how DVD discussion can be incorporated into a series article (though maybe without the images as that's a no-no now). 23skidoo (talk) 22:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Merge each DVD to its appropriate season page for the show. The page has plenty of good, reliable sources. Ctjf83Talk 04:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as I don't like the idea of it appearing in the season articles Russell [ Talk ] 13:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Merge into seperate season articles as the product itself isn't notable. This is "listcruft" but the information could be relevant merged into other articles. If this closes as merge I'll be happy to do it myself. -- Naerii · plz create stuff 18:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- My issue with a merge is that did that once already and redirected the page to One Tree Hill (TV series), but then it was all reverted, and put back into this page. I fear it will happen again. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 20:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- If it is reverted you should point them to this discussion, revert them and tell them that they can have a seperate page if they can show that there is a consensus to have it (by talk page discussion or deletion review). -- Naerii · plz create stuff 20:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, you could ask an admin to protect the redirect if people start edit warring over it. -- Naerii · plz create stuff 20:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

- Keep as a sub-article of One Tree Hill (TV series) and perhaps start a merge discussion. --Pixelface (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Merge as was already done before, and lock the redirect to keep it that way. The individual DVD releases of a television series have no notability and should only be covered in the main series article or in the relevant episode list. Collectonian (talk) 23:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Merge and lock per Collectonian. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
