Hello MT,
I see that you scheduled https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/82097/ai-no-kisetsu for deletion, but I believe this may have been in error. This series has an entirely different title than the series you listed it is a season 2 of. Our data policies on continuations or reboots refers to shows of the same name, which doesn't seem to apply here and should be a new entry.
Just an FYI regarding 25 Words or Less: Sometimes (not all the time) you appear to put the incorrect celebrities onto episodes, most recently, on "Can They Rise to the Challenge?", where you had put Anitra Mecadon and Andy Richter. However, from the full episode on YouTube, it is actually Jon Barinholtz and Lace Larrabee.
I'm not sure if it's just assuming who the celebrities are or something else, but please make sure you are adding the correct celebrities. I'm trying my best to keep it as up-to-date as possible, along with the newer episodes, so I am trying to make sure everything is all correct with each episode/the show. Thanks.
I see you added episode 19-13, and 19-14, but from my research, it looks like episode 19-12, was the season finale?
I see you recently deleted Deborah Roberts from the guest correspondent role on this episode and this episode with the reasoning that she is main cast.
I had originally added her under guest as a correspondent as in these two cases, she is actually the reporter/correspondent for the story itself, as Juju Chang is in this episode.
For what I mean, with "Snatched", she appears as a main anchor along with David (image), but she is also the reporter/correspondent for the story (image 1, image 2). Should this not be noted/included? Thanks in advance.
I mean, realistically, if we were to go by just the credits (though I personally would count the "Deborah Roberts reporting" as 'crediting'), the end credits only crew members are listed (specifically executive producer, senior producer, executive editorial producer, senior writer, director, episode-specific producers, episode-specific editorial producer, editors, post production editors, cameras, additional producer, associate director, production associates, art directors, graphic artists, digital producer, and special thanks).
If we were to go that strictly and only include what/who is listed in the end credits, then no one should be listed on the episode(s) here, though I'd say going that direction would be more on the unhelpful side of things.
I agree that if it says Deborah Roberts reporting then she is technically credited, so feel free to add her back then. Normally you wouldnt have a main cast also be guest cast hence why i deleted it bur I'm happy to go with how you want it since you seem to follow the show.
A Trusted Contributor (or higher) needs to readd it then, as I cannot. It was these two episodes, though:

Hey MTQueenie. I hope the Holidays were a blessing to you and your family!
I have a question about the PBS Ancient Invisible Cities https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/38383/ancient-invisible-cities scheduled for deletion. It's Episode 1 "Athens" aired on August 29, 2018. The BBC Two Ancient Invisible Cities https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/39132/ancient-invisible-cities Episode 1 "Cairo" aired on September 7, 2018. Shouldn't the first airing episode of a show/series determine which should be deleted? In other words, keep the PBS and delete the BBC Two?
Duplicates need to be deleted; NO argument. I am just always concerned about loosing information that could enhance the rightful one remaining. Thanks for taking that into account by adding the Alternate Episode list from the US (PBS) version.
The research to determine a show/series duplication seems overwhelming to me when you consider different countries and languages. At least the show title is the same here. I'm sorry to ask you so late to the deletion deadline. There is a lot of going on with my elderly sister.

Hello Joe
Normally, yes we would go with the first airing. However from what i can find this show is a 100% BBC production which means they are the airdate owner and their dates must be the main ones - if it had been a co-production between BBC and PBS then they PBS dates would have been the main ones since they aired first.

I will check with the other staff though, just in case

Thanks a bunch for checking into this further. I had another idea that may not apply here. But...
The BBC Three show Being Human https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/809/being-human has a Related Show (Foreign Remake). It is the Syfy Channel's Being Human https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/218/being-human. Both Ancient Invisible Cities have host/presenters that appear throughout each separate episode. They are exploring the same three cities as separate productions, with BBC Two using Michael Scott and PBS using Darius Arya. I just reviewed the PBS website to remind myself. I first viewed the series a couple of years ago.
It seems that both Ancient Invisible Cities could qualify in the same way as both Being Human. Maybe not, but please add my idea for consideration.
Thanks as always.

Hey MTQ. Sorry for the delay writing back. Thanks for working this further. I know the research could have supported deletion. I just hate the loss of any information and the effort of various TVmazers updating any series.
Back to both Ancient Invisible Cities, there should be a Show Relation to link them I think. "Franchise" does not seem to fit. Since they are a co-production, can one be the "Foreign Remake" of the other? The PBS episode 1 did air 9 days before the BBC Two episode 1. The other choices do not seem to fit. What do you think?
Thanks a bunch.
Joe
