Unmaintainable article and original research Delete Steve (Slf67) talk 02:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I'm pretty sure this is exactly what the "category" system was designed for. --Haemo 03:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete eyesore of an article. What is the point of a giant table demonstrating nothing more than "X-actor appeared on Y-show"? Wavy G 03:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Steve (Slf67) talk 03:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Violates Wikipedia rule of notability and my personal rule of being badly written. Luis1972 (Talk • My Contribs) 06:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • As the original creator of this page, I say delete. I created this page when I was very new to the project. The point of it was to demonstrate the considerable overlap of many comedic actors and shows in Australia, and how a very small number of people have been responsible for most of the quality comedy to come out of Australia in the last 15 years or so. But after being here for three years.. yeah, it's not really suitable, is it? I disagree about the notability comment though - every single show and person linked on this page will demonstrate that. -- Chuq 06:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I quite like the page as it links comedy shows and comedians together in a useful way. It has a few maintenance issues (which shows and artists are worth including to demonstrate the theme) but I dont consider it OR. John Vandenberg 07:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment No, not original research (that was a poor choice for a nomination reason, I think), but, speaking for myself, I can't make any sense of it, as it is now. I can't see how this topic is the least bit encyclopedic either. An awkward table of comedians and the shows they appeared on? Please explain the significance of this, if possible.

  • Delete lists of people without explicit objective membership criteria. Lists are useful if membership of the list implies notability, and red links can show missing articles in Wikipedia. Is this a useful matrix to keep in some project space? --Scott Davis Talk 09:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete arbitrary original research, and unwieldy too boot.-- danntm T C 15:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not claimed as a list, but essentially WP:LC. dcandeto 16:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 09:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Categories are best served for that purpose. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 13:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Seems more like a Category than an actual article--Cometstyles 15:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as agreed to by the original creator. Possibly could be a useful category. Capitalistroadster 01:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete -- created in good faith but no longer fits the goals of the encyclopedia. - Longhair\talk 11:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete would be better (although still deletable) if it didn't straightjacket itself into a subset of comedy shows. Also, reasons outlined above. Lankiveil 11:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
