I suggest that the articles for the four Disney+ Simpsons shorts:

be merged into one article. The shorts are not individually notable, and given their short length and promotional nature, collecting them all to one page seems sensible. I'm thinking of something like Roger Rabbit short films.

I have created a draft at Draft:The Simpsons Disney+ shorts; feel free to contribute and cleanup. Trivialist (talk) 01:22, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think this could be a reasonable idea, but you'd need to keep everything from each article - which may mean this makes it feel bloated? Squid45 (talk) 07:54, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment When Billie Met Lisa currently does not meet notability guidelines for stand-alone articles on films as all of the coverage is from primary sources or reproductions of press releases, thus not independent coverage. BOVINEBOY2008 16:49, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support for all but Plusaversary. Plusaversary seems to have significant criticism against it. The other shorts could easily be merged together into something akin to Marvel One-Shots. "The Simpsons Disney+ shorts" could eaily be an article, with a decent amount of group criticism for them all. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:11, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@(Oinkers42) “Significant criticism” like in Plusaversary has been added to other articles. In addition, Marvel One-Shots are obviously about related themes, whereas the themes of these short films are quite different (as @AdmiralAckbar1977 noticed). Patrik L.

Honestly, they seem to have related themes and similar criticism. They are all Disney + exclusive Simpsons shorts that are meant to be both comedic as well as advertisements for Disney products (When Billie Met Lisa might be the exception to that last part, but it could be considered a tie-in to Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles). They have all been criticized as products primarily made to advertise rather than entertain, and as such, often get grouped together. All of them are stub or start class, so it is reasonable to trade them for a Start or C class article. (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:01, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, these shorts are indeed generally promotional and getting to be so numerous they don't seem particularly notable anymore. There's no reason some more important shorts (The Force Awakens from Its Nap, nominated for an Emmy) can't be broken out again if the new article does become bloated. In response to above, do merge Plusaversary. There's nothing significant about this handful of criticisms just because they were scathing. It was an awful short, of course the reviews were scathing, but the other shorts were also reviewed. Ribbet32 (talk) 04:54, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. If the draft article is how the final article is going to look then it feels very messy. If these entries are not notable for a stand-alone article, then the entries should be summary style and not entire articles. If they are notable, then they should have stand-alone articles.

  • Oppose It seems that The Good, the Bart, and the Loki is the only notable one to me so it definitely wouldn’t need to be merged. The others looks pretty bad, especially When Billie Met Lisa. This is a good idea, but if the the films aren’t notable how will the draft be notable. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 14:16, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose It looks that majority (maybe all) of the articles are notable. Look at Ukrainian Wikipedia and the sources citing in here. I think that if someone will improve these articles per ukwiki, we should keep all articles stand-alone. Some of the articles look bad, I agree. But how does merging them into one article help? --Patrik L. (talk) 20:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seems the most reasonable choice. That way there is room for a common "Development" section, and even the less notable shorts can be briefly debated. For the longer ones, there is also a chance that they will be cleaned from the lesser details. Reaching a more concise and straightforward form is essential to the project, in my opinion. --PersiaF |Talk|Contr| 22:52, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Trivialist: I've reverted your redirects and merges given there was either no consensus or consensus not to merge these from this discussion. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
