Has there ever been a policy or ruling about "Untitled projects" being allowed here?

"Untitled projects" were allowed at TVrage and at a later date the title of the series in question would then be updated. I know this site is not tvrage and not anything like it however I just mentioned that point in passing. My personal opinion which probably doesn't mean a Hill of Beans but..... I feel that they should never be allowed because there is way too much chance of the show in question being forgotten altogether because there is no way to keep track of them. There is also the possibility of duplicate shows being accidentally added to the site as well. We have a case of that right now as a show was added to the site sometime in the past as "Untitled Punam Patel Project" - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/15341/untitled-punam-patel-project which I just now ran across by accident. It just so happens that this series to air on Freeform now has a title of "Brown Girls" which is already here on the site. - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/22131/brown-girls.
So I am saying 2 things here:
1st please remove - "Untitled Punam Patel Project" - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/15341/untitled-punam-patel-project
2nd please let me know if you have a policy for "Untitled" shows if not if you will be making one any time soon?
Thank you very much, Ron.

Hi Ron, all that's in the policies is "The name must be the original name given by the network or web channel." which, I guess, covers (Very loosely) not allowing shows that are "Untitled Projects".

Of course, a little tweak to the policy to mention these types of shows are not allowed would benefit everyone, so I will bring it up with him and the other staff.

In the meantime, I'll actually not delete that show right now, as the other staff may need to see it to know what I'm referring to. It will get deleted, probably, tomorrow.

thx for noticing and bringing it to our attention. :)

i dunno why we just don't stick to adding the shows once they've begun airing tbh. it would solve problems like this and also issues with shows that got added here which never even made it out of development.

I think you've raised this question before months ago Ron, but we decided not to add them. Just be a bit more patient when a channel or studio reveals it's operational name.

I don't believe I have ever mentioned this subject before over her but I did over at Rage.

Ah, it migh have been someone else then as I am pretty sure i've seen this topic around.

Yeah, I also recall talking about this before. I agree shows shouldn't be added before they have a name, because then - as you said - it's almost impossible to find them afterwards. Will check on updating the policy!
