The Next Line

The Next Line has been unsourced since 2009. "Next Line" + "Kevin Frank" turned up zero results on newspapers.com and GBooks. Google itself even asked "did you mean Kevin Franke" while giving only fan forums, Wikipedia mirrors, and the like. Throwing this out there to see if maybe someone could find something I missed.

Splitting contestants by season

Is it appropriate to split a contestant category into subcategories based on which season they were on? For example Category:America's Got Talent contestants or Category:RuPaul's Drag Race contestants. Assume that each season has at least 5 contestants with articles...Naraht (talk) 23:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

I think that would be in WP:NARROWCAT territory. It would actually be worse than some of the examples given; at least there's a chance for "Sportsmen from Brisbane" to organically grow over the years. At most, "Season X America's Got Talent contestants" is going to muster 48 articles (assuming everyone taking part becomes a notable person). - X201 (talk) 08:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of PixL

The article PixL has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Stub article with just 3 sentences and 2 sources, and has had the Notability template since 2020. I believe this article fails WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 19:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I couldn't find great sources from a quick google, but I am UK based, so that might not be the best. I find it hard to believe a channel associated with Amazon that makes original movies, and has run for almost 15 years is non-notable though. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski, it's merely something Amazon sells subscriptions to, not something Amazon runs. The reason for its GNG obscurity likely lies in its Christian orientation. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Sure. I'm not religious, I don't really know a great deal about that side of the world. There would presumably be Christian based reliable sources that talk about this sort of thing though, right? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

New standers?

Under the example character articles 2/3 of the example FAs have been delisted. The third is part of set currently being audited.

Because of this I was hoping that new examples could be selected? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:28, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Year categories

Currently, the TV article category system is broken down by year as follows:

• Category:YYYY in Fooian television
  • Category:YYYY Fooian television series debuts
  • Category:YYYY Fooian television series endings
  • Category:YYYY Fooian television seasons

This is evidently based on the seasonal TV format common in the US. But it doesn't work well for places where limited-run series are the norm. For example, Descendants of the Sun is in Category:2016 South Korean television series debuts and Category:2016 South Korean television series endings, back to back (and is missing from the season category as there are no individual seasons). It becomes rather redundant when almost all of a country's drama series have to be categorised this way.

This is also the case for Thai drama series. Recently, User:วรุฒ หิ่มสาใจ has been creating non-standard categories such as Category:2022 Thai television dramas presumably to avoid this redundancy. However, this creates problems due to (1) incompatibility with the larger category scheme, and (2) introducing the term "television dramas" into the categorisation, leading to inconsistency and ambiguity, as there's already Category:Drama television series by country where drama is meant as the genre rather than an umbrella term. (Or is it? The current categorisation is really confusing.)

I'm reluctant to wholesale revert his edits, as they do address the issue mentioned above. But then I'm also unsure how to integrate these categories into the TV categorisation scheme. (The user has also made a complete mess of the Thailand TV tree.)

On the whole, I think it boils down to two things:

1. Should an additional by-year category tree be created for limited-run series, and how should the categories be titled?
2. Should television dramas be used as an umbrella term that covers TV dramas in the wider sense (all fictional scripted shows regardless of genre, so also including e.g. action, sci-fi, etc.)? Or does the existing drama television series category already serve this function?

I want to separate the TV dramas and series from the TV shows such as game shows, talk shows, and variety shows into the own categories. How can I do this without causing any problems? วรุฒ หิ่มสาใจ (talk) 07:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
