Talk:List of unproduced stories

Defining the scope of this article
This article is a bit out of control. We need to create a lead that establishes its parameters and then move forward with the list that conforms to those parameters. Specifically, a story is not just a pitch. It must have been definitively greenlit, with some kind of actual commissioning of scripts. Just a few lines in a series bible or a letter to the production staff doesn't make a "lost story". There is, in other words, a difference between an unsold story and an unproduced story. 21:01: Fri 23 Jun 2017
 * Indeed, when it comes to stories that were pitched and not taken up on, I think we don't need to have a page on them. OS25 (Talk) 22:24, June 25, 2017 (UTC)
 * looking at the list it seems to follow similar to Wikipedia an lists all the story's listed in reference works and i agree it needs trimming it one thing this list shod not do is simply become an list of titls as that whoud make the list useless for finding out about them these story's not having there own pagers will reduce the value of this kind of list as there is no info on the story's on this page with all details on the story pagers 2.30.191.42talk to me 13:27, June 26, 2017 (UTC)

I find myself thinking of stories like The Killing Stone, and I come to decide that just because a writer met with someone at the BBC to pitch the story doesn't mean that we need to document them. However, I think deleting every story that was greenlit without being produced is going over-board. OS25 (Talk) 23:37, June 26, 2017 (UTC)
 * if all picheres are deleted then all stories listed in the planland season 27 and 28 will have to be deleted as non where atuley commissioned infac the stories earth aid ice time and crime of the century are described on the endgame documentary as just ideas whats more both andrew cartmell and JNT had quit by the end of season 26 2.30.191.42talk to me 18:56, June 28, 2017 (UTC)

A possible solution to this would be to go the way of Wikipedia and change the name to List of unmade stories. I agree with the users above that deleting every unmade story would be overboard but pages like Circus of Destiny certainly don't need to exist with the amount of content on them. The solution to this would be to turn the list into a table and unmade stories with a detailed plot and production details etc. can get their own page but stories to which little is known can be covered sufficiently within the confines of the table. --Borisashton ☎  23:54, December 16, 2017 (UTC)
