A Ghost Story for Christmas[edit]

Featured list candidates/A Ghost Story for Christmas/archive1

Nominator(s): Bob talk 22:37, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of the BBC's "Ghost Story for Christmas" strand, which was a set of related but separate adaptations of M.R. James and other ghost stories. Although primarily a list, it also serves as the main article about the strand and related productions. Referenced to reliable sources, mainly the BBC and BFI, I think it meets the FL criteria, conveying the main information about the adaptations with relevant information on broadcast dates and adaptations.

Oppose This could make a great Good Article, but it is not a list. This is an article about the series that includes a list of episodes. Reywas92^Talk 01:27, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it blurs the boundary somewhat, but thought it was more akin to a season list like Family Guy (season 5), Green Wing (series 1) or List of Bleach episodes (season 2) than an article in the traditional sense, as it mainly consists of a list of individual films (each yearly installment had a completely different cast/story, etc).

The relevant fact which you are missing is that each of those pages is a list split out from a larger topic, while the page you have nominated is the primary page for its subject. Just because an article contains a list does not mean it is a list. --erachima talk 09:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is not a list. No insult to its quality intended, this is simply the wrong venue. --erachima talk 09:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've brought up the issue of whether this is a article or list at WT:GAN. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support well reffed. This is just as much a list, if not more, as the Freedom Award or the Ballon d'Or. In favour of consistency I support the nomination. Sandman888 (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
