I am starting a discussion to prevent an [[WP:edit war|edit war]]. An IP believes, for reasons I hope they will explain here and have explained in edit summaries, that the table showing how many episodes locations or cast members appeared in the title sequence for each season should be left in the article. I disagree, as I believe such tables are [[WP:HTRIVIA|trivial]] and do not serve an encylopedic purpose; it's not important how many times certains locations have appeared to the average reader. --[[User:TedEdwards|<span style="color:green">T<small style="font-size:60%;">ed</small></span>]][[User talk:TedEdwards#top|<span style="color:orange">E<small style="font-size:60%;">dwards</small></span>]] 01:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC) |

I believe the Game of Thrones Title Sequence table that lists the elements should remain on the Game of Thrones Title Sequence wikipedia page for several reasons. First off, the title sequence for the show is itself unique. The constantly evolving opening credits that display new locations every couple of episodes result in a complex variety of different opening sequences. Thus this differentiates this title sequence from others. Cast members only appear in the sequence when they appear in the episode, which is also relatively uncommon in shows. Thus, this information serves to show not only the slew of different locations that appear in specific amounts of title sequences throughout the show but also the extent of the ensemble of the show and how many episodes each character appears in each season. Thus, this provides a statistical data base of the entire history and contents of the title sequence. Some may consider it trivial, but I believe it to be relevant information in presenting the many different variations of the title sequence throughout the show's history as well as the show's extensive cast and ensemble. Additionally, I've used this list as a reference since Season 5 and continued to use it in every succeeding season. I have noticed that the title sequence table has recently gone on and off, however it has existed for several years and is a important part of the page for people, like me, that do research into the stastics of the show. I'm willing to discuss further points in relation to this topic. Also I'm the IP address referred to above.

material moved from "World of A Song of Ice and Fire"
The following is way too detailed for the article in which it previously appeared so I'm moving it here in case anyone wants to incorporate it into this article.
Two years before the TV show aired, the network contacted film editor Angus Wall to figure out ways to use maps in each episode, similar to how the legend or map at the front of fantasy books work. Since repeatedly showing maps during each episode could not be made to work, the idea of maps was moved to the opening title sequence.[S 1] To differ from the standard tropes for fantasy maps, Wall's company 'Elastic' came up with the idea of a world inside a sphere where a computer-illusion camera pans from kingdom to kingdom.[S 2] Elastic took an existing map of Westeros and a hand-drawn map of Essos, both by George R. R. Martin, and played with their scale in Photoshop until the continents lined up perfectly.[S 1] Intending to stay as true to the books as possible, the actual dimensions, the locations and their placement, and the different terrains are all based strictly on Martin's maps.[S 1] Martin, who did not see the sequence until the premiere, endorsed the title sequence.[S 1] The HBO Viewer Guide also released a "known world" map for season 2 of the TV adaptation,[S 3] which the virtual camera of the opening titles shows first in the season 2 episode "Garden of Bones" with a pan from Westeros to the city of Qarth.

Requested move 21 February 2016
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Not moved (AFD-tagged instead) Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:01, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
Game of Thrones title sequence → gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Title_sequence – I love this show, but beyond the level of detail that is already given at Game_of_Thrones#Title_sequence, I doubt this is notable outside Game of Thrones fandom. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:09, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- Are you actually requesting a page move? It sounds more like you are either proposing a merge back to Game of Thrones#Title sequence, or proposing it be deleted here on Wikipedia. Zzyzx11 (talk) 08:51, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- Practically, it's a merge of whatever content isn't already found at the wikia page. I didn't find a specific template for such a merge to an external site. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:02, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- I agree an AFD is more appropriate here, so I've now tagged it as such. I'm closing this move request. Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:01, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Should the table be left in?
I am starting a discussion to prevent an edit war. An IP believes, for reasons I hope they will explain here and have explained in edit summaries, that the table showing how many episodes locations or cast members appeared in the title sequence for each season should be left in the article. I disagree, as I believe such tables are trivial and do not serve an encylopedic purpose; it's not important how many times certains locations have appeared to the average reader. --TedEdwards 01:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
