[edit] London Season (The Real World)

Why should this not remain on Wiki? Let me count the ways...

• It was not the first or last season or a non-notable show.
• It produced no persons of note (other than Jacinda Barrett, who has her own page).
• It was not a 'groundbreaking' show in its concept or execution.
• Er...that's it...Delete Eddie.willers 00:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, a whole TV season is even more notable than a single episode. "There is no reason why there shouldn't be a page for every Simpsons character, and even a table listing every episode, all neatly cross-linked and introduced by a shorter central page. Every episode name in the list could link to a separate page for each of those episodes, with links to reviews and trivia." wiki is not paper. Kappa 01:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--TV shows, watched by hundreds of thousands if not millions, are notable--the entire season certainly deserves an article. Meelar (talk) 03:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, because it's definately notable; comment: the naming convention is exceedingly odd. Why London Season (The Real World) instead of The Real World (London)?  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 03:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The naming convention is odd, but it follows the convention used on The Real World article. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 03:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, sure. The Real World's a popular show. Everyking 13:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep for now. It needs a cleanup and I agree the naming convention should be changed to The Real World (London). If nobody cleans this up in a reasonable time period I'd say it should go for AfD again. On the merits of notability, I'd say it stays though.--Isotope23 15:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It is notable and popular show. In fact, it is MTV's most popular television show series. See Wikipedia's Nielsen_Ratings article: "Top 15 Cable Series, July 4-10" subsection. Each season has a different settings and cast members. Yes, the article should be renamed "The Real World (London)" just like the other Wikipedia's Real World subarticles. --J.

Comment I just did the cleanup. The move of this article needs to wait until after the AfD.  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 20:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, grudgingly. It's crap, but it's notable crap by Wikipedia's quite liberal standards (Not to complain, of course...). — Phil Welch 20:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, if we can have an article on every single episode of nn shows, an article on a single season of a show is keepable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:06, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If we an excess of TV-cruft, it's hardly reasonable to add more.
