[edit] The Jazz Singer DVD

The Jazz Singer DVD (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This was tagged for speedy deletion because of notability, but has been tagged and untagged at least twice. Keilana 23:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Article fails to assert notability of the product per WP:N and may be nothing more than an advertisement for the product. Mh29255 (talk) 23:55, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I still feel that any worthwhile content should be moved to the entry for the film. As an example, blade runner just had a new "ultimate" release with several versions, commentaries, documentaries, a carrying case, film stills, a book, etc... and warrants only a single line of text in the article for the film.

  • Keep I am the person who created this article. I did not create it for advertising purposes, but rather for reference. I had bought the DVD set, and as mentioned it was filled with numerous old and obscure movie titles. I created this article so that anyone who maybe also bought the set and wants to research the movie titles included, can go to one simple page and do so. Additionally, I do not feel that this article is any different than other articles detailing DVD collections, such as: Walt Disney Treasures: Wave Seven, Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1, Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938, Volume 1, The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection, etc. Please do not delete this page, but rather clean it up or give me advice if you feel necessary.

    • Those are articles on collections of cartoons. While I feel that their appropriateness for an encyclopedia may indeed be questionable, your article is for a deluxe DVD set centered around one film. A separate article on the set seems superfluous without some sort of information other than what's on it. --FuriousFreddy (talk) 03:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete : This kind of information can be found on online stores. It could be added to the main Jazz Singer article, doesn't warrant it's own entry. 06:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phantomwiki (talk • contribs)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete, individual DVD packagings of a film have no independent notability from that film. It's not even worth a redirect as it's an unlikely search term.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 00:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Shorten and merge. Although I never use this as a rationale to keep an article, it's always sad when an article someone worked hard on doesn't meet Wikipedia standards. This information (of which much more detail can be found on the Amazon page) would be better off summarized and merged into the Jazz Singer article. Tanthalas39 (talk) 02:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 05:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Shorten to a single paragraph and merge into The Jazz Singer (1927 film). Wikipedia is not a DVD review repository. --FuriousFreddy (talk) 03:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge whatever is useful. There is nothing inherently wrong with providing pages about specific editions of a work... but they have to be notable and present reliable sources. gren グレン` —Preceding comment was added at 05:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
