Chronicles of Narnia - separate the books and the films

I feel the Film and Literature subpages should be separated for the individual books. There is a lot of confusion in the tropes the way it is now - while some tropes are careful to point out it's the Film instance, others don't, which leads to some tropes / examples directly contradicting what happens in the books, despite the clear "Literature" heading.

The thread title confused me for a second, and I thought we had only one page for Narnia.

The question is if the each book or film installment has enough tropes to stand alone as its own work page. While a work page itself only needs a handful of example, in splitting a series like this, given the extra work involved, I'd say each individual page needs about twelve to fifteen examples at bare minimum to make such a split worthwhile, with more preferred.

The split only makes sense if someone is willing to do the split-work and if the differences between film and book are substantial.

We can quantify "substantial" as being twelve to fifteen tropes.

^^ He means split each one into many pages, a separate article for each book and movie. Two articles (Literature.Chroncles Of Narnia and Film.Chroncles Of Narnia) to ten articles (seven books and, so far, three movies).

No way.

v What?

[up] You are a little late to argue against the book pages being separate. (I didn't realize it myself when I made my above post.)

My point about the film pages still stands, though.

Has there? I'm aware of the BBC TV series (and the theatrical version I saw years and years ago), but I wasn't aware of another film version.
