[edit] Chronology of Rome (TV series)

Chronology of Rome (TV series) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Lacks notability, excessive and seems unnecessary. This single two season show has more articles than shows spanning 7-8 seasons! This should be covered, at best, in the individual episode articles or the main article. Collectonian (talk) 03:01, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep You can't compare shows by number of seasons. "Heat Vision And Jack" didn't even have one! It's a very notable show; it was a flagship HBO dramatic series. A lot of (weird, OCD) effort went into this page, and it seems valuable. --- tqbf 04:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep it's encyclopedic to compare the timelines of a notable series and actual history; this is just a specific way to do so. JJL (talk) 04:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep: Not that the tremendous amount of work this article was to create is a reason to keep it, but given it is a general overview of the complete series, I think it's worth keeping. Per the above 2 comments. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per JJL - the length a show runs is a petty argument. As tqbf noted, it was a flagship show - not just HBO but also BBC and RAI. The article shows two parallel timelines in a very good visual way. A friend of mine actually pointed me to this, knowing that I saw the original run but he just discovered it on NetFlix - not the only one I am sure. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 15:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Comparing the show to actual history is a subject that deserves coverage, but I think it could do with a renaming to indicate this is the case. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
