More recently, the Iceberg tier list is widely used for a number of categories that exist here on this wiki, though only video games, films and TV shows had been the main focus in those Icebergs.
I wish to see other categories be more widely used. A few examples I can think of are non-gaming software, Radio Shows and Books.
Which other type of Lost Media deserves its own Iceberg for both an image and a video? Feel free to provide comments on this thread.

I'm not knowledgeable on the topic, but I would love to see one based on early radio and television content. I think my thinking is largely due in part to the videos Oddity Archive has done on the DuPont Network and the history of early radio, TV broadcasts, and the history of film. That could be a massive one and be a ton of fun for the people who have more expert or "academic" level knowledge on the subject.
Other topics:
Foreign Media (in general): By "foreign", I mean largely anything that's from outside North America and to some extent, parts of Europe.
I'm viewing this as an American through the lens of someone who mostly sees a massive oversaturation of North American and European content when the topic of location comes up. As far as Asia goes, it's mostly Japan. With Oceania, Australia. South America, it's typically Brazil. You almost never hear about lost media from the Middle East, Africa, and to somewhat lesser degree SEA and the bulk of South and Central America. It could be sectioned off by specific class as well, but I'd give anything to see more icebergs with things like Prai Takian and Shinin no sosei and less American/Canadian/British oriented stuff.
Literature / Manuscripts: This one is for all the book and historical nerds out there. Of all the topics out there, I don't think I've come across many if all relating to lost written works. There's so much potential behind something like this; be it religious texts, 13th century books, collaborative works, screenplays, and so on. If anyone plans on doing something like this, let me know. I'd love to throw a few ideas your way.
Music: This one sort of fits into the same category as literature and manuscripts, but it's been treated much better in the last few years. You can find a video or tier just on about any genre, but a solid cohesive one oddities and obscure ones would be nice. But again, fact checking to make sure such things exist would be the challenge, assuming there's much at all to leave to the imagination.
Recordings of Real Events: This one can be both a fun challenge and a pain in the neck when it comes to adding fresh content that hasn't been talked about to death. It can also be a bit of breath of fresh air those who don't want a super heavy handed NSFW/NSFL iceberg chart since those can get tiring. To those who want to do something fresh, good luck with this one; especially if you run into problems being able to verify and fact check accounts of there being actual recordings. That's been an issue I've run into and I still don't know the full details of a few things due to conflicting reports.

I hope no one steals this idea since I'm posting it here, but I've been working on an iceburg and video for the lost Del Rubio Triplets commercial for a little while now.

It looks like my prayers were answered since someone made a huge iceberg about music over on the icebergcharts subreddit. I take it they're a fan of the community because a few of the artists I mentioned here (and only made a blurb about in the requests and my Wiki page) got spotlighted, which is pretty freakin' rad.
Now...I wonder if, with that said, they'll see this and do one based on artifacts and lost objects, or manuscripts and literature. I'm pretty sure someone, probably them, did an equally massive list about real life recordings recently as well - also citing plenty of the stuff we've talked about here. Let's make this thread a giant lightning rod to any of the Reddit lurkers

I'm really surprised that there's so few books on the LMW and that I don't think I've seen any picture books at all on here. There must be at least a few in existence.

Hmm, I think comic books. I have no idea if one exists or not already, not even necesarrily even lost media, because comics are so outrageously obscure sometimes it's insane and I would love to see where that goes.
I can tell you, right now, that I know for certain about THREE different comic books (which I think didn't get past one issue, possibly not past a source book even) that are so obscure I could slam them headlong into the Cthulhu Deep Ocean part of the list off the top of my head. At least two I have physical evidence for, the third one I would have to look through TONS of stuff I saved for OCD's sake to find it.

Yo, its me, the dude who did that large songs iceberg (that is now outdated and i would like to re-do in a future) well i have finish my long literature iceberg too lol. Here is the link to the icebergcharts.com censored version icebergcharts.com/i/Long_Literature_Lost_Media and here the reddit uncensored version icebergcharts.com/i/Long_Literature_Lost_Media (if you want to ask about some of these or about an entry just go ahead)

Hey, small world! It's great to see you here and I commend you for all of the work you've done. This is awesome!
Edit: I'm checking your chart now and I'm amazed by all the work that's gone into this. I hope this sparks some interest in others to do some documenting so the word gets out more. I only recognize a fraction of these and if anyone were to tackle this as a full video breakdown, that would be incredible. Gold stars across the board.

Agreed! I'm not really a comic nerd(more of an animation nerd & a video game nerd), but there could be some interesting lost comic books out there, sometimes from places you wouldn't expect to have much, if any. Just imagine the possible lost comic books hailing from Greenland.
