The following shows, movies, and other media are currently redlinks. They are worthy of an article here in at least one troper's opinion; but that troper may not be familiar enough with the show in question, or may not be a good writer, or, in some cases, knows the show is notable, hates it, but doesn't want to engage in Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch or Complaining About Shows You Don't Like.
For the moment, we'll sign our items on this list, and add our names onto shows to which we feel need to have an article here; please see the discussion page.
If you create a page for one of these, or it turns into a bluelink after another troper creates it, please remove it from this list, unless it's a disambiguation (which will show with a green link) or a redirect. If it is a redirect or disambiguation, point that out.
Also take note, try to include a work in its medium of initial incarnation. For example, instead of placing The Film of the Book in the movie category place the work under the Literature section. Another example being Anime, if it was a Manga first place it under Manga. The notable exception to this rule is either when a work's derivative incarnation is more widely known than the original (in which case please leave a note mentioning such), or when a page exists for the original version but not the adaptation (in which case a note should also be made so that the creator can either add a section to the pre-existing page or decide to create a new one).
