Yeah I have to agree, literally nothing has changed about it as a franchise that wasn’t already in the world when the Top Gun (film series) article was discussed in 2019. Like, even through the pandemic, there’s not much if any supplemental media, like video games, TV series, or even something like Battle at Big Rock or the Dominion prologue to bolster franchise status. Honestly using Jurassic World as an example sent me down a rabbit hole far far away from the point. There hasn’t been a Top Gun video game since 2012. Maverick had nothing surrounding it, it’s its own little island and while another sequel might earn the series franchise status, it would not have quick enough turnaround for this article to be sustained without at least one deletion CreecregofLife (talk) 07:22, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I'm seriously considering an AfD if it's not eligible for deletion as a recreation. I just wanted to get that out of the way first. Oddly enough, I was actually the one who nominated the original article for deletion! Because this article's title is different, it didn't show up in this article's logs, so I had to search around to find the original, and eventually did. BilCat (talk) 09:08, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
The one thing I’m disappointed about with this is that entire paragraph explaining why it could be deleted…would get deleted, and I liked how thorough I got. Maybe I’ll thro it in the sandbox for preservation purposes CreecregofLife (talk) 09:13, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Good idea. If it goes to AFD, just use it in your response, or even the nomination if you do it. I've been known to crib from good comments like that when I nominate an AFD, so beware. :) BilCat (talk) 09:20, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I got a response from the deleting admin, and the prose of the two articles is very different, meaning it's not a re-creation. Do you want to take this to AfD? BilCat (talk) 22:58, 30 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
The Project Film guidelines changed since the first time this was deleted, and MOS:FILMSERIES is more clear now than before, stating: "A film series article should only be created when the series encompasses at least three films. " Repeating existing information in table and list format does little to enhance readers understanding over what is already in the individual film articles. Some editors may be enthusiastic about creating these kinds of articles but they don't do much to serve readers of this encyclopedia. -- 109.79.167.143 (talk) 14:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
