[edit] 50 Greatest TV Dramas

50 Greatest TV Dramas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article is not encyclopaedic - I have also searched for a reference for this article but have not been able to find one. The article is subject to judgement - and is someones opinion - therefore it should be deleted Groovychick3291 19:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete due to reasons stated above, as long as it's true that it doesn't reference a real program. However, I'd like to hear an opinion from someone on the Isles before I change to a full vote. r.y.right 19:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - programme is real, see [1] (from IMDb), [2] (from The Stage, which includes the rundown), [3] (from The Guardian). Not sure if any of those meet WP:RS, no opinion as to encyclopaedic value. Oddly, Channel 4 does not include this edition in their 100 Greatest microsite... -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - good find on the link to the programme - that would increase its value - however it is still open to suggestion whether it is a speculative article - all these top 50 programmes are speculative - not sure it should be used on wikipedia? Groovychick3291 19:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; There's no doubt the programme was broadcast, but it doesn't seem that notable - just blogs and an IMDb entry. There's also the question of copyright, have Channel 4 given us permission to reproduce their list? This is a point I made in my afd for another Channel 4 list show at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/World's Greatest Actor. If Channel 4 have invested their money and resources in compiling this list I think they would be entitled to claim ownership of it. (And why is this listed in Category:BBC television documentaries?)
