::::: Upon reading this, I've changed my mind from above. I agree that seasons/series should have subpages, eg. "/home video" or "/releases". I think that'd be much tidier, and I think it's a more efficient system if they're linked. (Plus it would mean any variants could be together and reduce confusion, such as the way Season 12's Collection set in the US is marketed as "Tom Baker Season One". Putting both in a subpage branching off Season 12 is neater.)

== Conclusion ==
<div class="tech">
Well, this thread didn't get as much engagement as it might have done, but I do think it reached a fairly clear consensus, and I don't have a lot ot say.
The clear consensus is that '''we should allow the creation of /Home_video subpages for both stories and seasons, allowing us to discuss both the specifities and the commonalities of the various home video editions of a given story or set of stories'''. It should be noted that in cases where only one or two home video editions of a given work/series exists, we should refrain from creating a ''subpage'', and simply use a ==Home video== subsection on the main page. In other words, normal subpage criteria (as also used for e.g. "/Non-valid_sources") apply.
Redirects for the names of individual releases, like "[[Tom baker Season One]]", should be created to these subpages/their relevant subsections.
Additionally, '''pages about collections which don't correspond to a series or season page were always within policy''', and this is hereby reaffirmed.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
