Imaginationland: The Movie

[edit]

I would like to clear something up, this is not about an actual movie, it is about the DVD release of three episodes of South Park (all of which have their own page). Any plot/production info would just be a recreation of those three pages (BTW, I also proposed a merge of them) and any DVD release info could easily be merged into one of the episode pages. So the question is, do DVD releases or special editions deserve their own page? Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 20:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

merge does not appear notable on its own. merge any sourced info to the episode articles. -- The Red Pen of Doom 20:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and set a redirect to the first episode or merge if there is any relevant information. The topic is not separate from the single episodes (which should be merged together), so having another redundant article is unnecessary. TTN (talk) 21:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Leave and put additional references as well as corresponding section for differences. It is direct-to-DVD movie that deserves it's own page. It's notable for being the first movie in years by South Park creators. Regards: The Mad Hatter (talk) 21:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not really a movie, it's a DVD release of three South Park episodes which was titled "Imaginationland: The Movie". -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 21:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it in no way deserves an article of its own. Merge what little information there is above that which is in the episode articles. As Scorpion0422 rightly points out, there is no new content on screen, merely three episodes shown together. Alastairward (talk) 21:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, there are about a dozen (mostly minor) changes, but not nearly enough to be individually notable. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 21:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per TTN. --TheLeft orium 21:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Merge - per above. Gran² 23:00, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect to Imaginationland Episode I. A so-called "movie" article would be a non-notable collection of the three episodes with next to no new information those articles do not already contain. Oppose merger of the separate Imaginationland articles: three episodes detailing three different sets of events deserves three separate articles. --Captain Infinity (talk) 00:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect to the first episode. Titling a DVD as a movie does not make it one, this is just a compilation DVD, which can be mentioned on the pages of the individual episodes.Yobmod (talk) 09:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Even though this is a compilation of the original three episodes, it is nevertheless notable on its own due to reliable source coverage, covering both the DVD release and the airing (as a complete movie rather than as separate episodes) on Comedy Central. See "Comedy Central Takes Another Trip to ‘Imaginationland’" (Broadcasting & Cable), "South Park: Imaginationland" (PopMatters), and "South Park: Imaginationland" (Metro Silicon Valley). There is no need for this article to duplicate (much) content, as anyone interested in more details can click on the links to the episode articles. In a sense, this article also functions as a set index article, and as a more sensible redirect target for Imaginationland. DHowell (talk) 05:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
