Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Seems like the consensus has shifted since the last AfD, at least that is what this discussion suggested since no other editor of the WikiProject truly contested the claims made. _Jovian ^Eclipse 14:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I will copy and edit what I said in the other discussion: Why are the only sources to in the article to www.criterion.com? It has no third party sources to show it even has notability. This really is just carbon copy of their website, in Wiki format. Mike Allen 17:49, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because it's a thousand times easier to digest as a reader. If I'm looking up basic info on a Criterion release I'm not going to their website, I'm going straight to this page. Tj902 (talk) 19:45, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Criterion Collection page is very useful, and as such should not be deleted. Blankspace540 (talk) 07:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think List of Criterion Collection releases is the type of article that might have some encyclopedic value, but the notability of the article needs to be established in accordance with WP:LISTN. As MikeAllen points out, the lack of secondary sourcing in this article is a concern. I think the List of Criterion Collection boxed sets and List of Criterion Collection LaserDiscs are a different matter altogether; whilst I can well believe that the Criterion Collection as a whole is notable as an encyclopedic topic, I do not consider it plausible that the different format listings for the collection are notable on their own terms. So, my conclusions:

List of Criterion Collection releases – ?
List of Criterion Collection boxed sets – Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY
List of Criterion Collection LaserDiscs – Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY

Any truly notable releases (firsts, landmarks, etc.) can be (and probably are) included at The Criterion Collection without the need for this indiscriminate list of releases. --wooden superman 08:23, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete we are not a purchasing guide. Dronebogus (talk) 11:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I used to contribute to this list a lot, but per WP:LISTN it doesn't really help people. Similar to the past how List of Arrow Films releases was deleted, I don't think this one follows our rules. Which is a shame, because I do like using the list to sort by year/director/etc. for my own use... Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. WP:NOTCATALOG. --wooden superman 13:55, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per WP:NOTCATALOGUE. In the case of the LaserDiscs lists, this was already a redirect in a previous discussion and was recreated under a slightly different title. Ajf773 (talk) 19:59, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
