Talk:Freedom Party Services

I have no idea what to do with these titles:

1: I'm assuming they're fanworks as they're on Judith Proctor's site as such [1] and googling "Freedom Party Services" gets me nothing.

2. But I'm confused by how many there are, and how small a footprint they make (I've not run into *any* of them before)

3. How to catalog them? Separately? This would be a pain as each one seems to have the direct name of an episode but I'll go ahead and do it that way if that's what they need.

4. I'm putting them all here on this goofy record, but don't think it should stay this way. Mrs. Potato Head 19:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Are all the titles of these B7 episode titles? A casual glance comparison with an episode guide seems to indicate that. I think until we have more info they can stay grouped, but the individual titles should have a note directing here like on the Redemption disambig page there should be a line "Redemption by David Metcalfe a novel in the Fredom Party Services series" and on the other B7 Spacefall zine should be a line "you may be looking for the B7 novel Spacefall by Fran Ward" etc etc.--RatCreature 14:52, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
The fact that they are episode titles as well really snarls it up. "Redemption" is easy enough as there are already is a disambiguation page, but how about "Headhunter"? A simple redirect wouldn't work with that title. Actually, I think that every single one of these is going to have to be a disambiguation with the novel name, and an entry for the episode itself. And, once all that work is done, there is no real reason for each one of these zines (rudimentary as the info is now) to have its own page. Mrs. Potato Head 15:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
See, I think the less generic ones like "headhunter" that don't have any pages associated with them yet are not problematic for now, because if you enter that in the search box and click go (which most would do) you don't get anywhere and the only in-text result that shows up is this page, so that zine can be found easy. however with the generic ones like "redemption" you land on the disambig or the other zine, and don't get this page. So I think about the non-existing ones nothing further needs to be done for now, only the generic titles need crosslinking.--RatCreature 16:05, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
True, but thinking more about it, I realize, there's actually no reason "Headhunter" (and all of them) shouldn't have its own page as a zine. We know the fandom, that it's a novel, that it's gen and the author and publisher. For the titles that already have a disambiguation, I can add it there. For the ones that don't, or at least don't yet, I'll just add as is. Technically, there should be a "you may be looking for" on each directing someone to the episode page (which doesn't exist yet) but I may ignore that for now.

I'd ignore the episode titles. They usually do not get an entry(unless there is special fan reaction like that Life on Mars ep and such) and there are a ton of zine titles that overlap with episode titles.--RatCreature 16:31, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
