Potential Merge[edit]

This film series does not seem to be notable to me. @Editor-1:, I think merging the articles might be a good option, but I don't know what this article would be other than a list of plot summaries and cast lists. There doesn't seem to be much independent coverage of the films. It may be just as well to redirect the titles to the first film in the series. BOVINEBOY2008 10:26, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is really notable, although its notability varies between its installments, I did know this series from many years ago while I was born 1992-06 and live in the Middle East! "I don't know what this article would be other than a list of plot summaries and cast lists." I'm sure if we search we can find more sources for each one, but their current state/sources is enough for merge, and yes, there are similar articles about video games or software that have such state, I see no problem here.--Editor-1 (talk) 11:18, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Researching the matter, I would support keeping a page in a simple table form to centralize links (blue or red) that are part of the series. The page could also be renamed to this end. Horror Films by Subgenre: A Viewer's Guide has an entry about Camp Blood and mentions its sequels. Legacy of Blood: A Comprehensive Guide to Slasher Movies says, "Efforts such as the Camp Blood films plumbed the zero budget end of the market..." and it has entries for the first and second films.

Could that same information not just be contained in the first film's article? I am trying to see what purpose having a separate article with a small list of titles would benefit. BOVINEBOY2008 17:26, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I find the content to extend beyond the first film to warrant what is essentially a list approach, where we have, per WP:CSC, a "short, complete list of every item that is verifiably a member of the group". In this case, the boxed-set coverage can be used to define the list. The aforementioned sources can contribute to prose in a lead section for that list. The table itself can be kept simple. Basically, no need for a standard film-series approach. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:35, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I could see that working. Thank you! @Editor-1:, does this sound good to you? BOVINEBOY2008 18:07, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editors Bovineboy2008 and Erik: I did not understand exactly what you guys want to do. I see for example Kontact and 18 Wheels of Steel which are a list of related items with infobox, my mean was this, don't get what you want to do.--Editor-1 (talk) 08:52, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
