Previously deleted page and contested PROD. Non-notable collection of otherwise notable films - essentially an advertisement. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 15:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article does not contain advertising copy, prices, or locations on where to buy the products. The article is used for informational and educational purposes only; helping people become aware of films that are connected by genre, studio, or filmmaker and can only help to promote the film community at Wikipedia. Similarly themed articles in content and style have existed on Wikipedia for years; see: Midnite Movies, Dragon Dynasty, The Criterion Collection, 20th Century Fox Cinema Classics Collection. Wikipedia can have product pages if they are used for the aforementioned reasons; see: Proactiv Solution, Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Ibanez AW Series. If this article were to be deleted based on the proposed reasoning, then thousands of Wikipedia articles would have to be deleted for the very same reason.

Delete. Wikipedia is not a compendium of companies' product lines and branding initiatives. Glenfarclas (talk) 19:39, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Pretty much regular release DVDs with an annoying black box on the packaging commemorating an event of little interest beyond anniversary buffs and ignored by everyone else, who just want to buy the movie. We'll get the same thing in 2019 from Paramount to commemorate their 110th anniversary on SuperBlu-Ray or GoldVOD or whatever format they have then (and even in 2014 for the 'wow, there are people who care about this?' 105th anniversary).

DeleteI see no evidence of notability, and Mlamarre79 is almost certainly right that there are other articles that should be deleted for the same reason. The solution is not to keep a bad article because other bad articles exist, but to deal with the other bad articles as well. Dougweller (talk) 06:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
