Item: Fear the Walking Dead: Dead in the Water
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Duplicate
Extra Details: As per my previous report on this https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/63c036a705a53300aecf26cb this is not standalone miniseries but is actually a dup of special episodes from the main show under https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/62286-fear-the-walking-dead/season/0 and should most likely be deleted.

It is a stand-alone series of webisodes https://www.amc.com/shows/fear-the-walking-dead-dead-in-the-water--1053225, and it premiered this way on amc+ a year ago. That's why it was allowed by one of the mods, in accordance with the bible https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/62286-fear-the-walking-dead/discuss/64301a9895c0af00b621a791
the special episodes need to be deleted.

I'll let a mod decide what to do.
IMO these are not standalone mini series and are specials off the main show. If this decision holds then it has a wider impact to other shows, one example battlestar galactica which also has web episodes https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1972-battlestar-galactica/season/0. Also, what about Flight 462 and Passage from FTWD ? Is Dead in the Water going to be deleted from specials ? This is all silly and looking to cause problems when one does not exist...

If the network creates a separate page for the spin-off webseries, a new show should be created instead of adding the episodes as specials.
What's silly is putting unrelated shows under one umbrella. The actors from webisodes shouldn't have the main show listed on their page, they are not part of it.

While I see your point you'll never convince me it's correct to move these from the main show to its own miniseries.
Let's let a moderator decide. As always I'll respect their decision and that's the last I'll say on it.
However, I would like to see evidence that when the episodes aired that it was listed as a standalone page, I cannot find proof of that. It might have been added later!

Looks like decision is made. While I don't agree with it and I don't like it, I do accept it.
