Removed originals

I really think the original specials that are no longer available on Netflix (Nick Offerman: American Ham, etc.) should stay on this list, whether in a separate section or with a note added to say that they're no longer available. The closest analogy I'd see is TV networks no longer airing their old shows, and those shows don't get removed from the articles listing the programs that those networks have broadcast. Removing them from the list entirely isn't doing anything but causing the list to be incomplete. Alphius (talk) 01:23, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Feel free to ad them back. The only reason we didn't right away was, that we werem't sure if they were just gone for a while, because of contract negotiations or something like that. Abyss Taucher (talk) 01:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I totally forgot about this somehow, but the problem here is that because they were completely removed from the list rather than just having a note added or being moved into a new section, I now have no idea what's missing. I know the Nick Offerman special is missing for sure, but I have no idea what else needs to be restored. Regardless of whether they were "just gone for a while" or gone permanently, they obviously still belonged on the list. Now the list might end up being stuck in an incomplete state unless someone goes back through the entire history of the page and figures it out. Alphius (talk) 20:25, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A little late on this, sorry,Alphius. The problem with that case was also that we didn't know if the specials where really gone from all regions or just from some. Here is where we talked about that problem among other things. It also lists at a few of the specials in question.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix/Archive_3#Does_anyone_else_notice_the_disappearing_of_stand-up_specials? Abyss Taucher (talk) 12:58, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't understand the logic behind that at all. Why would you remove them from the list completely because you think they might only be available in some regions now? Whether they're still available in some regions or whether they've been removed everywhere, that fact changes nothing regarding their qualifications to be on the list, and it sounds like you even agree. All it might change is the notation that should be given with them, so they should just be marked as "no longer available in X; may no longer be available elsewhere" (X being the applicable known regions) or something similar unless it can be confirmed that they've been removed everywhere, then. (And then the fact that they've been removed everywhere should be noted instead, but they should still stay on the list either way.) Alphius (talk) 23:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Netflix Is A Joke

Netflix Is A Joke (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) presently redirects to this page. It is the official YouTube channel for Netflix original comedy content. For the moment I've added a {{hatnote}} explaining why someone clicking a link to Netflix Is A Joke is being brought here, as at present clicking such a link does not reward the reader with any explanation for the subterfuge. I leave it to people more involved in this topic to determine whether a separate article is warranted, or a sub-section here explaining a bit more about the YouTube channel. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:35, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
