Purpose[edit]

What is the purpose of this page? It appears to replicate the franchise page, and then includes a bunch of non-notable fan films. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:33, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1. It's a list, that's the purpose it serves. It lists of things in an order of release in each section. Tons of franchises have lists like these for their media to present the products in an easy to navigate way without prose and with the benefit of each release having it's own space to include more detail such as ISBN and other production details.

2. Those shorts were officially released on DVDs and Blu Rays, so per definition they are media from the franchise, even if you'd like to think of them as "fan films".★Trekker (talk) 14:36, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a list that replicates information on the franchise page. Lists are not created just to replicate other pages. And officially released by who? Anyone can release anything on DVD and bluray. that doesn't make it official, or notable. I'm not talking about the documentary, I'm talking about the fan films for Camp Blood. There's a reason it says "Camp Blood" and not "Friday the 13th. Regardless, you have a page that is primarily made up of non-notable entries, which is why they don't have pages or their pages redirect back to the franchise page. This is an unneeded list.

It being unneeded is 100% your own personal opinion. This is not a "replacement" no idea where you got that idea, it's complementary like all media lists are. And where does this idea come from that something "not being notable" excludes it from being mentioned in a list somehow? Also, it straight up says in the list what DVDs the shorts were released on. Did you even read this page before complaining?★Trekker (talk) 17:12, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
