[edit] BBC Newsreaders

BBC Newsreaders (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article contains a list of the main BBC News bulletin presenters, something which is achieved within the articles of the main programmes, together with Category:BBC newsreaders and journalists and so effectively makes this article redundant. The fact that this article has very few links to it also makes it seem obsolete compared with the articles already in existence that serve the subject matter. Wikiwoohoo 18:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I agree that the data best belongs in the individual articles. There's nowhere for this article to go but down (into masses of historical trivia). - Richfife 18:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I've never seen a list yet which is redundent to a category. Useful, verifiable. Jcuk 19:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, organized list, could use references. Lists serve different purposes than categories, and removal would mean loss of redlinks. Should probably rename to List of current BBC newsreaders. --Dhartung | Talk 20:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Quick reference is useful! Seivad 22:02, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename, some references would be nice, also some expansion to include sports readers etc. Rename to List of current BBC newsreaders/or newscasters, unless of course some historical aspect is added. Also add some links to it from BBC news articles. Mdcollins1984 23:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
