Not Tropeworthy: Creator.MGMCBS Home Video

This thread raises the question of whether or not MGM/CBS Home Video lasted long enough to merit a page named after it, and after all that went wrong with the WDHV pages, it sounds possibly necessary to expand that question to whether or not the page should exist at all.

If it existed as a creator then it should have a page, if it became something else then possibly merge them.

Just cause they didnt make much doesn't mean they arnt worthy of a page.

I completely agree with Memers.

They were a creator (or at least fitting our Creator/ namespace), and cutting it just because it "didn't last long enough" seems to be an arbitrary "reason" that could set or support a bad precedent.

I also wanted to know whether or not interest in this subject seemed as lacking among Tropers, if not more so, compared to all those deleted WDHV subpages.

Cut. In my opinion the only home video distributor pages on this wiki shouldn't be ones for larger companies (Sony, Disney, Warner. etc.) and should only be ones that are (or used to be) standalone like Media, Funimation, MPI, etc. Having home video pages for companies like Sony seem really redundant, not to mention info about their earlier releases can be found on other websites.

I agree with Memers and WaterBlap, this entity existed and fits under the Creator/ namespace. Cutting it because it didn't last long seems to set a bad precedent.

I'm with 8. Cut for redundancy.

Cut. I don't think most distributors generally rise to the level where they can realistically be called "creators". I mean, what's next? Manufacturers of plastic boxes? I honestly don't care if my disc came in a box made by Acme or by United Plastics. It doesn't affect the content.
