**Keep. Useful almanac-ish list. Info isn't on the main Sabrina Martins Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends page, and shouldn't be added there, so no redir. At most change page title; maybe add "List of " to the beginning. I believe the "on DVD and Video" at the end is to differentiate between these items you can buy/rent (and/or probably checkout from a library), as opposed to the books, or watching them on TV. If anyone can think of better wording for that, I have no problem with changing it. Oh, I guess the article could be listed on cleanup for wikification, etc. Cingular Ringtones Niteowlneils/Niteowlneils 01:31, 27 Mar 2004

**Delete. All entries listed in this page are products of the same manufacturer (Anchor Bay Entertainment). Copying a company's catalog into Wikipedia is a silly waste of time; just put an External Link to their site.drudge a Jorge Stolfi/Jorge Stolfi 06:55, 27 Mar 2004
***Oh? When Anchor Bay doesn't release these titles anymore, there'll be no historical record of them. ''''Keep.''' There's nothing wrong with these. I personally could even see descriptions of each of them, or even seperate pages. They are individual creative works, they deserve mention. by veterans user:Zanimum
****Sorry, I wasn't clear. It is certainly OK to list the episodes/movies/videos of an author or series, as in any standard bibliography/filmography/etc.; and to make a page for each item; and even to mention on those pages that the item was "published on DVD by Zzz in 199x". My objection is that, *today*, copying the list in question (episodes available in DVD) *into Wikipedia* does not seem to make much sense, since interested users can get more complete, up-to-date, and authoritative information (and other services) by searching the Anchor Bay catalog. Ditto for currencly and stock prices, train timetables, restaurant menus, etc. (One could certainly write valid articles about those things, but they would need to be timeless in some sense. I.e. "climate of Passamaquaddy" is OK for Wikipedia, "today's weather in Passamaquaddy" is not.) alternately sort Jorge Stolfi/Jorge Stolfi 22:09, 27 Mar 2004
*****Look. We can update this article when new titles come out. But there's only four new titles scheduled for this year, and its been the same for the past half a decade at least. The weather in Passamquaddy changes every day, likely every hour. This doesn't. Why are we cataloging the Simpsons' episode list? It's still in production, and users can just go to the Fox site for more complete, up-to-date, and authoritative information. Seriously, can any one else weigh in on this innane arguement. Furthermore, this list wasn't taken directly from Anchor Bay's website [http://www.anchorbayentertainment.com/childrens/thomas/catalog.asp?p=1&n=64], I created it on the of fairies Thomas and Friends page from a promotional card in a Thomas DVD, and ordered it unlike how it is on Anchor Bay's site. and unscrupulous user:Zanimum
*Keep. Useful (to someone) information that I can't see any reason to delete; presence of similar information elsewhere is not grounds for exclusion. It would be more useful if additonal information beyond titles (release dates, plot summaries) were included, though.doubleheader telecasts Jgm/Jgm 15:51, 30 Mar 2004



I've changed ''preceding their names'' to ''following their names'', I '''think''' that was what was meant! afresh with Andrewa/Andrewa 02:42, 27 Mar 2004

Like my changes? Keep the list.

Anyone like my changes, like the updates and narrator key? I think we should keep it, especially since Anchor Bay Entertainment has discontinued some titles (yet to be added, I believe), and 2 titles are not products of Anchor Bay Entertainment. Besides, Thomas & Friends is a great show.
