Duplicate of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' content, this show is just a national variant of the format. Fallenfromthesky (talk) 11:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. There are also:

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK game show), Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US game show), Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Australian game show), Lotto Weekend Miljonairs, Qui Veut Gagner des Millions?, Stani bogat, Kaun Banega Crorepati, Milionerzy Kubek15 (Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX) 11:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

    • You are the article creator, obviously you are going to vote keep - and the existence of other similar articles does not justify the existence of another unnecessary one. Fallenfromthesky (talk) 11:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
You did leave a note on Kubek15's talk page saying their opinion was welcome in this discussion. There's no need for a comment about "obviously" voting keep. --Canley (talk) 12:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, keeping in mind WP:OWN there's no prohibition on an article creator defending same against AFD. 23skidoo (talk) 19:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Nationally broadcast television series are inherently notable, and the article in question isn't that much different than those linked from List of national variants in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. Where I have issue is the non-English format of the title. No one is going to search for that and most WP users don't have a keyboard capable of creating those characters, so I would recommend substituting the Anglicized version of the title. Of course sources should be added as well. 23skidoo (talk) 12:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It's all very well to object to a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, but I don't think the nomination adequately explains why this national variant is not notable compared to the others. This is probably the most viewed version! I would move the article title to the English transliteration however. --Canley (talk) 12:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article could do with references to establish notability, but I can't imagine that a nationally broadcast television show would fail to qualify. I agree that the nominator has not articulated a reason for deletion, other than, the unpersuasive objection that this is the Chinese version of the show. I agree that the title is inappropriate, I'm going to check the MOS real quick then boldly move it. Xymmax (talk) 13:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm not really seeing a reason to delete, though it should be moved to a more searchable title. Maxamegalon2000 13:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - Page moved to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Chinese game show) as that matches the MOS and the format of the other versions. I saw that the AFD notice had gotten lost a couple of edits back, I've restored it. Xymmax (talk) 13:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep in light of changes made by Xymmax. Staeiou (talk) 15:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per the page move, above justifications and which are probably RS if anyone can read them TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 16:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Canley, 23skidoo & Xymmax. KTC (talk) 03:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • If kept RENAME, non-ASCII title, and the renamed page is wrong. Just looking at the English on the logo shows just how wrong it is. Who deserves to be a millionaire? appears to be the correct term. "deserves" not "wants" 70.55.84.13 (talk) 05:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - I understand that the new article title is not an exact translation of the Chinese title. However, our naming guidelines state that we should use the most commonly used English version of the name of the subject, even if it differs somewhat from the local form. Xymmax (talk) 13:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note - I've just reverted the early non-admin close of this discussion by User:Kubek15 which had the reason "The result was Keep (non-admin closure) because of 9 votes to keep and 1 to delete and move done by Xymmax.". Looking at the above !vote (which included mine), this may well be a snowball, but certainly shouldn't be by the original creator of the article. KTC (talk) 10:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Nom withdrawn WP:SNOW Fallenfromthesky (talk) 02:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
