Merge?

  1.  
    1. Should the topics and episodes for these programs be merge? I'm not sure what the practice is, but I assume it's one topic per series, regardless of if it's realized in multiple regions.

      1. I can't tell for sure about Death Note, but the practice should be that, if a series is the same in multiple regions, it's one series (e.g., the Japanese series is rebroadcast in the US). However, if a network in another region remakes the series for that region (like the US version of The Office), then it's two series.

        1. It's pretty unlikely that a Japanese show would be rebroadcast without either subtitles or dubbed dialog. Does that make it one show or two?

      2. Looks like this is the same show, though I don't know where this later release date came from (tvrage.com is down). I'm pretty sure they haven't remade Death Note for the US

        If that's the case, it should be one show, since it's (mostly) the same content, just translated.

      3. Now that I can visit TVRage, I see that there are two entries for Death Note: one for the Japanese run and one for the US run. TVRage is a bit inconsistent in this regard, with some anime having two entries and others having just the info for one of the runs.

        Do we want to preserve the US run information? I still think it should be one topic, but I don't want to screw things up if someone wants to keep that information or confuse the importer with two IDs on the same topic.
