[edit] Airdates of Lost

This is a textbook "indiscriminate collection of information", as per WP:NOT. Are we going to add information for every country that puts the show on? Every re-run? Forever? Evidently a lot of hard work has gone into this page, but the end result remains an unencyclopedic fancrufty list. Vizjim 10:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I love Lost but Wikipedia should only have the original (American) airdates, and they are already included in List of Lost episodes. abelson 17:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. . The information for this article comes from a range of sources, for example televison listings. It helps viewers outside the US to seek information on the broadcast of this show in a quick and easy manner. Regarding the references, I am sure someone can add them. The main reason a article like this exists is due the show's international popularity and the fact we can put all this information together now. ant_ie 22:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Semi-merge Delete, but merge an extremely abbreviated version of the first few sections into Lost (TV series), except in paragraph form (see The_Simpsons#Broadcasting for an example). If this dosen't happen, some anon (most likely that dynamic ip that keeps editing the TF1 article) will just start a list of TV channels in the Lost (TV series) article. -Whomp 23:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - not encyclopaedic by a long shot. Worldtraveller 23:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOT. Merge anything usefull into relevent articles -Aknorals 12:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
