Hi all. I want to ask for a general opinion. Take an example of this title,Huey Tum Ajnabi, whilch was originally released as a theatrical film, and so the Wikipedia article is written as per MOS:FILM. But, there is no plot written yet. Now the issue is, that the title is available asTV episodes on YouTube.
Personally, I would prefer first option. Hope for a kind and helpful response, thank you!M.Billoo09:09, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed atWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emlyn the Gremlyn until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.JHD0919 (talk)14:44, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The articleHercegovačka televizija has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Stub article consisting of a 4-sentence paragraph and two additional single-sentence paragraphs, alongside potentially questionable sourcing. Probably not a hoax, but still too obscure for an article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may bedeleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop theproposed deletion process, but otherdeletion processes exist. In particular, thespeedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, andarticles for deletion allows discussion to reachconsensus for deletion.JHD0919 (talk)14:46, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!
I hadsuggested a change to theFriends article, which stood for months in the talk page and then in the article without any objection. However there is now one user who keeps reverting this change, and this has become a one-against-one issue (link to discussed version). Third opinions would be welcome to resolve the issue!Place Clichy (talk)07:25, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am reaching out for outside input on an AfD discussion related to the article about Cliff Divine. There appear to be several misunderstandings in the discussion, so I am hoping that editors from this project can help review the notability question with a clear look at the sources.First, it is important to note that Cliff Divine and Andrew Cliff Tisba are the same person. This can be verified through interviews, festival programs, public nonprofit documents, and media profiles. Some news outlets use one name while others use the other, but they all refer to the same individual. This clarification is important because it affects how the sources are interpreted.The article includes a large number of independent secondary sources from established news organizations. These include ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Orlando Sentinel, KHON2, KTVB, KUTV, Q2 Billings, and several international outlets. In these reports he is not mentioned briefly. He appears on camera and is the central focus of the stories. Film festivals and award committees have also published material that covers his work in a principal role.A link was provided that contains more than thirty broadcast news segments from major networks where Cliff Divine is clearly identified by name on air. These are public, independent broadcasts, and they show significant coverage that meets the expectations of WP:BIO.Most of the sources cited in the article come from established newsrooms with full editorial oversight. They are not self published and not produced or controlled by the subject. They meet the requirements for independent and reliable sourcing in a biographical article.There is also reporting on his acting awards, his film appearances, and a multistate public initiative that drew repeated coverage. This combination of sources shows significant independent attention over time, which satisfies the criteria for biographical notability.For clarity, I am not the subject of the article. I am participating only to correct factual misunderstandings and to help ensure the discussion stays focused on source quality and policy rather than assumptions about editors.In short, the subject has extensive coverage from reliable independent sources, including dozens of television news reports and multiple print and online publications. These appear to meet the requirements of WP:BIO, and I believe that additional input from this project would be valuable in assessing the article.The AfD discussion is here:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cliff DivineThank you for taking the time to look at this.Cdlosangeles (talk)20:34, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The company is mentioned in the opening credits of the show as "Paramount+ and CBS Studios present." It is the only company listed (on the top right) as the official distributor page here like all the NCIS shows:https://paramountglobalcontent.com/title/ncis-sydney Official press releases (in many cases adopted by media outlets)describe the show as "Produced by Endemol Shine Australia for CBS Studios and Paramount Australia". The same press release quotes a "Head of International Co-Productions and Development at CBS Studios, Lindsay Martin." Some secondaryAmerican andAustralian sources refer to it as a co-production or to CBS Studios as a production company. This has been a dispute on theNCIS: Sydney talk page I think primarily due to possible geographic implications, but with it being indisputably listed in the credits there should be an accurate way to document the company's involvement. My suggestion would just be in both cases to quote the full description from the primary source "Produced by Endemol Shine Australia for CBS Studios and Paramount Australia" without trying to label or interpret what that means.newsjunkie (talk)11:17, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Recently, onList of Paramount+ original programming when a series season airs, when the series is moved from "Upcoming programming" to "Current programming", it is stripped of references. An anon editor claimed that "we're supposed to" do this. It seems to me to go againstWP:V, so I'm trying to figure out if/where this procedure is codified. Does this process match the wikiproject's expectations, and if so, is there a place where this was decided? Thanks.EducatedRedneck (talk)18:40, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm seeing a huge number ofDrag Race episodes which to my mind do not meetWP:NEPISODE. I've nominated the UK ones for deletion (found atCategory:RuPaul's Drag Race UK episodes), but I'm seeing loads from other national series that also to my mind do not meet notability. Picking a few at random:Not Sorry Aboot It,Float Your Boat (RuPaul's Drag Race),Oh No She Betta Don't!, etc., etc., the coverage here seems trivial and routine. Shouldn't these be draftified or something? My understanding ofWP:NEPISODE is that a single episode of a TV series should be exceptional to meet notability guidelines, this is all justWP:ROTM. I mean, I'm sure I could find all sorts of sources for a "Bread Week" episode ofThe Great British Bake Off, but it's still just another episode of a reality TV series.--woodensuperman10:35, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see Woodensuperman is determined to essentially nominate every episode article for deletion. We had this discussion before, and I worked hard to promoteAnd the Rest Is Drag to Good article status to show it could be done. Instead of having a measured discussion about this, it is just AFD, AFD, AFD, AFD, AFD. Can we stop with the onslaught of deletion nominations and talk about notability? ---Another Believer(Talk)13:55, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's quite straightforward that bulk-produced pages likeThis Is Our Country (RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars), which is just a copy-paste from the main article with zero additional information, are not acceptable. Even if a good articlecould be written doesn't mean every episode needs a low-quality page like that or even longer. There are a lot of TV shows out there that get some recaps the day after they air, but they don't need articles by default – the season article can have plenty of information. You have been asked this before – to do it in draft or not at all – so why do you continue makingWP:REDUNDANTWP:DUPLICATE pages? Even if a topic might be theoretically notable doesn't mean it needs a standalone page if there's little content or it can be covered in the main article. You never go back to the dozens of these that have been left behind: it seems like AFD is the only thing that gets attention.And the Rest Is Drag and others had to be nominated for you to bother to keep writing it. You are the only person interested in writing these, and if you are going to do so, you should actually do itwell rather than just make a page for every episode just for the sake of having one.Reywas92Talk14:44, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I previously nominated some of these articles in this topic for deletion on the basis that many (not all) are simply repetitions of the descriptions that are already on the main season pages. This project has done amazing work based on a cultural phenomenon which is Drag Race, which is of no doubt an important topic to LGBTQ+ communities. As a topic itself its notable but many of these pages failWP:NEPISODE andWP:GNG. Many of the articles about said drag queens also work on the principle of inherited notability from the parent Drag season or because of something notable in an episode. Similarly, episodes sometimes inherit notability from the main season. I've long said, if the only think an episode or bio page says is a description which could be or is already included on the main season page, it should be a draft. That's the purpose of drafting. I don't agree that Another Believer is the only editor interested in writing the articles, being interested in writing them doesn't indicate notoriety. However, I do agree there's some confusion about how notability has been applied to these articles. I do however agree that whenever there's an AFD some of the older ones get revisited but generally speaking a lot of these have not improved over time. I would welcome some additional principles/standards to be agreed for drafts and when episodes should be created for reality TV shows.>>Lil-unique1(talk) —22:14, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about how the seasons ofLists of Power Rangers episodes are laid out. They're listed as consecutive seasons ofPower Rangers (which is a franchise article), but then each article uses{{Infobox television}}, used to dictate separate series. The only exception isMighty Morphin Power Rangers (re-version), which correctly uses{{Infobox television season}}.
For example, reading the lead ofPower Rangers Beast Morphers, it explains how they serve as consecutive seasons, but then refer to them as seasons within this "season":Power Rangers Beast Morphers is thetwenty-sixth and twenty-seventh seasons of the American television program Power Rangers.The first season premiered on Nickelodeon on March 2, 2019, while thesecond season premiered on February 22, and concluded on December 12, 2020.
Sus the headers "Season 1 (2019)" and "Season 2 (2020)". The lead ofPower Rangers Zeo is similar:Power Rangers Zeo is a television series and the fourth season
.
Do these articles need a complete creative overhaul to conform with our standards? Or are they acceptable as-is? --Alex_21 TALK09:00, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
