Bag of Bones (film) → Bag of Bones (miniseries) – Current title is inaccurate: this was originally aired as a two-part television miniseries on the U.S. cable channel A&E in 2011. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:37, 7 November 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 05:19, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose. Miniseries is a minimum of three episodes. Two-parters are simply two-part films. IMDb often miscategorises but that doesn't mean Wikipedia should too. Film Fan 11:07, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support: Once upon a time it was true that miniseries had at least three segments, but that has not been the case in many years. Wikipedia has articles about dozens of two-part miniseries. Please don't make the unsupported assertion that they weren't really miniseries on all of those, too; I would rather be building the encyclopedia than making this same comment on other talk pages. —GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk 22:53, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support, though I don't feel we have to create any guideline determining whether a miniseries arbitrarily begins at two or three episodes. Media come in different forms, and exceptions like these should be judged on a case by case basis. In my view, this is a four-hour miniseries that aired over two nights. And while it's referred to as both a miniseries and film in reliable sources, it was reviewed by TV critics in the NYTimes, Washington Post, LA Times, etc. But again, I don't support creating a guideline out of exceptions like these. -- Wikipedical (talk) 03:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support: A bit of web-searching doesn't, to me, indicate that a miniseries must have a minimum of three episodes. I'd like to see those opposing on that basis provide sources supporting their claim. DonIago (talk) 13:34, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
