[edit] Premiere of a TV show in the US is notable?
Someone has made an entry regarding the premiere of a TV show in the US (in the "fiction" section). I don't think that this is notable and I propose to delete this entry. I welcome your thoughts. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 15:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would delete it. Seems like an end run around the non-notable event deletion. It is not fictional, it's a real event, just not very noteworthy. -- Borameer ™ 15:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TV game/reality show finalists are notable?
Someone has added "Sanjaya Malakar, American Idol finalist". I propose that finalists in TV shows are not noteable and hat they be deleted. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Hu Gadarn 04:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
