The result was redirect to Superman (film series). Only two editors wanted the info to disappear completely, but there was no support for retaining a free-standing article EdJohnston (talk) 15:01, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article reads as a semi-random collection of trivia that was culled from the IMBD. And that is without the overly detailed notes/references. There is also very, very limited notability to versions of films edited for TV. It is a standard practice to get odd length films to fit into standard TV programming slots. It may be of value in the article on the subject movie if there is a notable consequence to the edit. That does not justify compiling all of the minor edits across a grouping of films.

- Merge any notable information into the respective movie articles. Other than the fact that all of these are Superman movies, I see no common thread linking together all of the information on the list. –Grondemar 19:41, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This is a weird WP:SYNTHESIS of material that should already be on the relevant articles and if it isn't there might be a very good reason for that as it is bordering on trivia and is more appropriate to a dedicated wiki or fan site. The content as is on the articles that I've checked seems solid and concise and while you might want to give the editors the option of including some material I'd want to avoid a merge decision as it might be an excuse to dump the lot back into the article, which is something I'd not want to see happen.

- Delete as trivia and oppose merge. -- Whpq (talk) 17:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge any non-duplicative information and set redirect to Superman (film series), where the topic might merit a paragraph in context to the other informations therein. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 18:58, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Superman (film series) as stated above, but also any information that is not listed on in the individual film articles into said articles. Click23 (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
