Old Grey Whistle Test Deleted
posted by oboogieSTAFFMOD on September 8, 2013 at 9:07 AM
Received a message that the entry has been deleted. Okay, but how should I tag a collection of tv performances gathered together that are not in episodic format? For example, the TVDB has only a handful of episodes listed for a show that ran several years and doesn not take into account the Old Grey Whistle Test DVD's which are not truly episodic, but rather a long form collection of performances?
Here is the item in question: (http://www.amazon.com/The-Grey-Whistle-Test-Collection/dp/B000GETUE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378645556&sr=8-1&keywords=old+grey+whistle+test)
Thanks.

Hi, I'm the one who deleted it and sent you the message.
Since the DVDs are compilations of performances from that TV show it can't be added here because of our television rules. And, as you have already noticed, it won't likely be added over at TheTVDB since they want episodes only. Thus, if you can add them locally that would probably be the easiest.

I assume so. Kind of sucks though considering there are entries such as this (http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/136315-rolling-stones-twa-dome0 populating the DB while legit releases sometimes are squashed.
Regardless, thanks for your reply.

Yes, the low quality of many music entries is an issue that will be addressed eventually. I'm still busy with other stuff for a while though.
