Talk:Earth - List of appearances

Blimey, loads of appearances! User:Trikster87 - 16:25 - 28th January 2010

Trickster87 has a point. It's exactly why I think it should be deleted. The subject is simply too ubiquitous in DW storytelling to create a list that imparts interesting information. Now, List of stories in which Earth doesn't appear might be an article worth having. But not this one. If a thing is in practically every story, it's a "given" and so therefore doesn't deserve a list. The approach for these kind of articles should be to go for the negative, so that we get lists that are shorter, and therefore more digestible. At least make this thing a table, for heaven's sake.

 * That would entirely depend on which set of stories you follow. I found it somewhat interesting looking along the list of TV stories (despite the fact just looking at said stories I know which ones the Earth featured in).
 * Doesn't it depend on what information you're seeking? The length of the list, which stories are included and which ones are lacking in the list imparts some information.
 * Aside from the length of the list is there anything wrong with having a negative and positive list (aside from the precedent that would set). --Tangerineduel 17:20, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with the 'loads of appearances' reason, since Earth appears in nearly every story, it'd probably be better to have that List of stories in which Earth doesn't appear article. --Dalek036 09:59, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it is fine. As long as it is kept up to date it should be kept. There is nothing wrong with it. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 21:58, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Just an idea, could you use a category page to make the list? You could keep both pages and have them updated as the pages are written. Or is this a bad idea? XD LockeNCole 22:44, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
