Talk:Private Passions

Splitting proposal

I propose that sections [[1]] be split into a separate page called List of Private Passions episodes. The content of the current page seems off-topic and these sections are large enough to make their own page. Splitting it into decades, with the most recent details remaining in the article Fundamentalbase (talk) 17:55, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Dissect the beast!

This article is unreasonably large. At the very least, break the (apparent) two production runs into separate articles. pauli133 (talk) 15:11, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Pauli33, I fully support that. Onetwothreeip (talk) 22:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Which "two productions"? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:17, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

From the main article, "The production was formerly made by Classic Arts Productions, a British radio and audio production company that provided programmes to the BBC until June 2013. Since June 2013, it has been produced by Loftus Audio. The producers are Elizabeth Burke, Jane Greenwood and Olivia Seligman." That sounds like two production runs to me, and a natural point to split the list. pauli133 (talk) 02:16, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. I only looked at this list for an explanation. // I have no objection to splitting, but size is the least of this list's problems. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:42, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

The size is over 600,000 bytes, so this is certainly a major problem for the article, if not the most serious. Splitting it at 2013 would leave one article being 500,000 bytes, so another split would be needed afterwards. Onetwothreeip (talk) 05:22, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Ok. Five year chunks, then? pauli133 (talk) 14:04, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

That would be good. Ten years at most. Onetwothreeip (talk) 23:38, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

So something like List of Private Passions episodes, 1995-1999, List of Private Passions episodes, 2000-2004, List of Private Passions episodes, 2005-2009, List of Private Passions episodes, 2010-2014, List of Private Passions episodes, 2015-2019, List of Private Passions episodes, 2020-present or List of Private Passions episodes, 1995-2004, List of Private Passions episodes, 2005-2014, List of Private Passions episodes, 2015-present? pauli133 (talk) 19:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Additionally - do we just want to link those articles from Private Passions (eliminating this article entirely), or transclude them into List of Private Passions episodes? pauli133 (talk) 19:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

@Pauli133: If you're willing to make those articles, I would support you. In this current article, I would link to those articles. We certainly shouldn't be having an article that contains a list of all these episodes. Onetwothreeip (talk) 06:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

This article and all the other by-period names ought to use an endash for the range of years. E.g. not List of Private Passions episodes, 1995-1999, but List of Private Passions episodes, 1995–1999. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Fair point! Feel free to rename them. pauli133 (talk) 01:26, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
