[edit] MTV's Most Controversial Videos

MTV's Most Controversial Videos (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - fails WP:N, WP:V and probably WP:OR and WP:POV with its characterization of videos as "gross" and whatnot. Otto4711 23:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep In my mind, this is dangerously close to indiscriminate information. However, and in defense of the article, this is not the creator's own choice of top 20 most controversial videos but simply the list that appeared in an MTV special. I'm sure a little bit of cleanup would remove the OR and POV and the list itself is clearly verifiable. Pascal.Tesson 00:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• Question It's been a while since I've seen one, but I have a feeling that lists excerpted from magazines (100 hottest celebrities or whatever) are at least accused of being copyvios. Would this one potentially fall into the same category? BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, reprinting the list might be copyvio since the inclusion criteria is subjective. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 20:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as list-copyvio, but with no prejudices against recreation of a similar article on the "two-hour documentary hosted by MTV News" ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 20:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as it is, but tweaking the article to be about the PROGRAMME, rather than the list of videos, would probably be a better solution. J Milburn 21:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per db-copyvio. I don't think shows like this are notable enough to have articles on, though. JuJube 23:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No apparent third-party coverage. ShadowHalo 02:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Wikipedia rules on copy-vio for publishing someone else's list. Doczilla 03:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
