[edit] "School Riot"

"School Riot" (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

We must not go down the road of allowing articles on individual episodes of game shows unless they are so notable as to demand it. Debralee Scott's outrage to the contrary, this is trivial past the point of minutae. Otto4711 17:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Merge - this content can be merged into the main Match Game article. This can be its own section. I will add the merge tag to the article.--Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 17:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge. Compare The Newlywed Game#"In_the_butt, Bob". That's the only game show episode ever that I'd consider notable, and it's barely a solid paragraph. --Dhartung | Talk 18:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• It's already included in the main Match Game article int the "references in pop culture" section. Just delete this. Otto4711

• Merge per Newlywed Game example Subwayguy 18:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete — Already in the main article, not too noteable anyway. FirefoxMan 21:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable tv show episode. Edison 21:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or, failing that, very very weak Keep. I actually watched that episode just two days ago (it's on disc 2 of the DVD box set). It did show up on the TV Guide "memorable moments of TV history" list and seems to be one of the things about the show people remember best (In an interview on the disc, Brett Somers said the contestent was "robbed" and that Rayburn "lost control" of the show at that point). It also shows up on loads of clips shows and countdowns and such, like the recent "50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time" on GSN. I'd prefer it in the show's article instead of its own, but it definitely should be discussed somewhere. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - It doesn't require an article by itself. A merge should do it. Insanephantom 08:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. It can be covered adequately in the Match Game article. Adding some detail there (the question that was being asked, the Brett Somers comment mentioned by Andrew Lenahan) won't clutter the article. JamesMLane t c 08:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Match Game - as per nom. -- Korean alpha for knowledge (Talk / Contributions) 06:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
