[edit] Survivor Articles
Just to tell you, you may want to wait to create articles of Survivior contestants. Many aren't notable, like the first person eliminated in a season. Just because they're on TV doesn't mean they deserve an article. Articles should be restricted to winners, anyone who does something really, really notable (like Mike Skupin getting Medivac'd), and people that have done something notable outside the show.

[edit] Paul is Dead
Brilliant idea to create subarticles for the various "clues"; I've been wrestling with that overblown article for ages, but never thought of that. Give yourself a cigar and/or a pat on the back. My first thought, however, is that a separate article for clues from each album will be too much - how about just one article, say, Clues from the Paul is Dead hoax or something like that (terrible title, though)? - DavidWBrooks 01:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- I assume you will trim to almost nothing the "clues" section in the main article when you're confident that the sub-articles are in good shape? Or do you want somebody else to do that part? - DavidWBrooks 12:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't do them completely, at least not on some of the most famous clues (Paul barefoot on Abbey Road, for example). Remember that most readers won't click through to the sub-articles, so we want to give them a taste of what sort of "clues" people find. It will probably take a bit of experimenting to get it right, though. - DavidWBrooks 01:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
