Talk:The Adam Buxton Podcast

Split proposed

I'm proposing that the episodes be split into a separate article the same way that The Last Podcast on the Left has a separate article called List of The Last Podcast on the Left episodes. Right now the episode list takes up the majority of the page and although the word count might not be extremely large I think it's still too long (WP:SIZESPLIT) or if that's not a valid reason I'd say that the episodes constitute a different article because they are a slightly different subject (WP:CONTENTSPLIT). Either way it appears to be common practice to split episode lists into their own article once they've become lengthy (Category:Lists of podcast episodes).

Not sure about this. If we split the episodes then the main article becomes basically a single paragraph, so I don't really see the advantage. Popcornfud (talk) 11:50, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

@Popcornfud: If the subject can't produce more than a paragraph of information separate from a list of content derived from the primary source than perhaps this podcast is not notable enough for an article. TipsyElephant (talk) 20:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

TipsyElephant, very much agreed, but I'd say the better route would be to expand this article before splitting it, or nominate for deletion if there isn't enough material out there. Popcornfud (talk) 20:50, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Size of article and notability aren't always related. That aside, I don't see any advantage making a new article for the list at this point. (Hohum ^@) 00:17, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

@Popcornfud and Hohum: There has been a discussion at the podcasting wikiproject talk page (here) about splitting articles with long episode lists into separate articles and the two of us that have discussed it have mostly come to the conclusion that independent wikipedia pages dedicated to episode lists are generally unhelpful and receive an extremely limited number of views. We've proposed that collapsible tables are more appropriate for this circumstance. Would either of you be opposed to a collapsible table instead of a split? It makes the article much easier to navigate so people don't have to scroll forever to find what they're looking for. I went ahead and made the list collapsible, but if you don't like it feel free to undo my edit. If you're okay with the table being collapsed we can also close the split proposal discussion and remove the tag from the article. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:48, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

TipsyElephant, I think collapsing the table is a great idea. Thanks. Popcornfud (talk) 09:20, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
