This article is almost all POV -- the author's opinion as to why edited DVDs are preferable to unedited ones. JamesMLane 04:22, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. POV rant, possible advertisement. • Benc • 04:56, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, not an encyclopedia article. I have disabled the external links for the duration of this discussion. —Stormie 05:45, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • The phenomenon of selling DVD movies with sex and/or violence edited out is worth an article; it has a lot of implications for copyright and artistic meaning. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the name for this phenomena is. Where can this redirect to? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 06:22, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
    • Reads like something from someones weblog. This shouldn't redirect at all, as they're DVDs not dvds. Delete. Average Earthman 09:37, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. What a nerd. Binadot 09:48, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Personal rant. The bowderlized movies can be mentioned under censorship or decency or some other spot. This particular phenomenon is going to rapidly evolve, and in a year ClearPlay and others are going to be as quaint as the PMRC is now. Geogre 12:44, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Written in the first person, entirely POV, and gave one of those "fake personal endorsements" advertising feel as well. It'd be nice to see an actual encyclopedic article on the phenomenon, but this is most certainly not it. Spatch 15:40, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete especially now, when the original author tried to remove the VFD-notice --Deelkar 18:09, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's just part of the author's persistent attempts to spam his censored DVD shop. I've had to block him. -- Hadal 18:53, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. It might be possible to write a more acceptable article on the topic (perhaps something like DVD Censorship), but as is, it's not at all acceptable. --Improv 11:40, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This seems like an ad.
  • Delete. POV rant, incorrect title. A real article on the phenomenon and controversy can be started at a better title (like Edited DVDs or DVD censorship (although the latter is borderline POV)). Gwalla | Talk 03:25, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
