Fails WP:NFILM. No reviews found in a BEFORE DonaldD23 talk to me 03:13, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and United States of America. DonaldD23 talk to me 03:13, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral comment This isn't a film but a home video release, so it can't meet NFILM and the rationale needs revision. Nate • (chatter) 21:12, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that home video releases fall under the film policies. DonaldD23 talk to me 10:18, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Again, asking for a revision to the rationale; it was taped in the same style as every other Barney episode, on a soundstage on videotape. It's not a film. Nate • (chatter) 03:58, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if you are comparing it to Barney episodes, then it also fails WP:NTV if you use the criteria for television. DonaldD23 talk to me 16:49, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Whether or not, this subject is a film, one can still argue for whether or not there exists SIGCOV of this video.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:20, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I tried looking on Common Sense Media, but it appears this is too old to have a listing there. I'd be fine with a redirect to the main "List of Barney & Friends episodes and videos" article. Nothing else found; this episode was made over 20 years ago and hasn't had much happen with it since. Oaktree b (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Barney & Friends episodes and videos. Fails WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV related to this specific home video. Frank Anchor 04:49, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect is probably the best eventual outcome, but List of Barney & Friends episodes and videos does not even have minimal plot summaries for the home videos, films and specials section. Those episodes should be in the same table format as the regular episodes making merging in straightforward. We should not delete this page until that is done, so my position is temporarily keep.

There is no requirement for a redirect target to have ":minimal plot summaries for the home videos, films and specials section." This video is mentioned by name on the target page, which is sufficient. (That said, I would not be opposed to adding such content which can be pulled from the history of this page which is preserved in a redirect.) Frank Anchor 13:22, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not, of course, mean to imply that there was any such requirement. I was coming at this more from a wish to WP:PRESERVE (bullet #5) the information we already have. We are supposed to be building an encyclopeadia, not tearing down the parts of it that are not perfect. SpinningSpark 16:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
