Question

I have been coming to Wikipedia for a while now, and I really enjoyed how the Latest Doctor Who complete series articles gave every detail as to what was on the DVD. There is a small flier that comes with each boxed set, however I can't read it very well. But Wikipedia takes care of that. Well today I came in here to see what was on the Complete Series 7 and, there is nothing about it anywhere. So I thought about checking out Series 6. So I discover that article has been deleated also, probably by elitist bent on erasing everything that does not fit their twisted rules of Notability.

Just in case I mis-typed I was wondering if someone could tell me what has happened to the articles on the DVD sets of the revived series of Doctor Who, Thank you Magnum Serpentine (talk) 00:10, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I apparently did not look carefully enough at how Series 5 was written. There is a majority of information about the DVD set that was found in the article when it was called Doctor Who: The Complete 5th series DVD. I was rather upset when I mentioned elitism above and I apologize. Magnum Serpentine (talk) 00:31, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
