List of television ratings during the Monday Night Wars (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete As unsourced, lacking notability, and Wikipedia is not an indiscrimate collection of information. This applies to all except for maybe these "Monday Night Wars" ratings. That at least seems to have some context to it, rather than just indiscriminate collections of TV ratings. If someone can find some reliable sources indicating that the "Monday Night Wars" are notable, then I would consider saying Keep for that. Leebo ^T/C 16:01, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom and above. Wikipeida is not a directory, fails WP:NOT. Arkyan • ^(talk) 16:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep' List_of_television_ratings_during_the_Monday_Night_Wars, delete the rest. I can accept that that ratings battle which produced a DVD [1] is sufficient on its own for coverage, and I see the listing of the various weeks as reasonably important. The rest should just be summarized in WWE history. FrozenPurpleCube 17:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per reasoning above. Wrestling is way overrepresented on WP anyway, and to have this violates a lot of policy here. Biggspowd 20:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom, per above, WP:NOT, WP:N, and WP:RS. Sr13 (T|C) 01:30, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete the Monday Night ones, Keep the rest They do need better sourcing, but they are notable. TJ Spyke 03:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all Even the Monday Night Wars one is not notable enough for its own article. It should be cut down by just stating major trends or using a graph (image), putting that into the main Monday Night Wars article. --Aaru Bui ^DII 03:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The ratings, as they current are, are nothing but raw data and requires explaining and meaning, what it says about the audience and the show. --Aaru Bui ^DII 03:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all as nominator. McPhail 16:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment For future reference, the closing administrator will likely take your nomination as a Delete. Leebo ^T/C 17:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Thewinchester ^(talk) 05:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Monday Night War ratings, delete all others. The Monday Night Wars era was one of the most significant in professional wrestling history, and it's important to have a reference of the week-by-week ratings, the most central aspect of the Nitro/RAW rivalry.
