[edit] The Amazing Race trivia

The Amazing Race trivia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Okay, sorry about last time people, this is the one I wanted to nominate. WP:ISNOT an indiscriminate collection of information, there have been far more Keep worthy articles deleted, this has to go. †he Bread 01:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I realize that this might not be up to good standards, but I am currently working on the page List of The Amazing Race statistics and trivia, to kind of mirror or parallel, if you will, List of Survivor statistics and trivia. The current trivia page has indeed been a mess of random information seemingly placed anywhere at random, and I was thinking maybe we could clean it up to resemble the aforementioned Survivor page, which apparently has been deemed acceptable.--HansTAR 02:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. Amazingcruft which belongs on a reality show/gameshow wiki on Wikia not here. Bwithh 02:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as fancruft. Seraphimblade 06:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - you know it's far over the top when it requires its own page. Anything which is seen as excessive on the episode pages is overmuch, period. --Czj 07:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, it's a notable show, but there's no need for this level of trivia. JIP | Talk 10:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - but closing admin, give editors time to work this into the main article as prose if they so desire. WilyD 14:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• KeepI realize that this might not be up to good standards, but I am currently working on the page List of The Amazing Race statistics and trivia, to kind of mirror or parallel, if you will, List of Survivor statistics and trivia. The current trivia page has indeed been a mess of random information seemingly placed anywhere at random, and I was thinking maybe we could clean it up to resemble the aforementioned Survivor page, which apparently has been deemed acceptable. If neither Amazing Race page is accepted, then is the Survivor page not keep-worthy too? And while we're on that topic, I don't understand how pages like List of American Idol contestants, which is nothing but names, can be kept while Trivia pages, which actually provide information that many would find useful, say, if one were writing a book or needed statistics, are the constant subjects of deletion. While I understand that Wikipedia is not a collection of "indiscriminate information" (which, on the What Wikipedia is Not page, doesn't explicitly state collections of statistics and the like), that very same page also lists that Wikipedia is not paper, and being nitpicky over what is "important", which is one's own opinion, I believe violates that last link. --HansTAR 18:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I believe that Wikipedia's policy on trivia is rather clear; it should, by and large, only be included within newer articles to provide information that can be later incorporated more properly into that article. This, by implication, would mean that any article consisting only of trivia should be deleted as there is not a proper article to incorporate that trivia into. If this information is encyclopedic, it should be in the Amazing Race article, otherwise its not needed on the Wikipedia. Furthermore, perhaps the List of Survivor statistics and trivia article should be nominated for an AfD as well? --The Way 07:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This, Keep That-I myself have contributed to this page and I think there is way to much irrelevant things. However, the new page, List of The Amazing Race statistics and trivia actually doesn't seem to be too crufty. However, the Survivor one is way too crufty and should be AFD'd also. editor review me!-TeckWiz^TalkContribs_{# of Edits} 14:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
