[edit] Cultural impact of QI

Cultural impact of QI (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

As much as I love the show QI, I see no real point to this article, which I believe was spun off from the main QI article some time ago for no apparent reason other than issues of length. It seems to be mostly a collection of random infomation about the show which could easily be dealt with (and in many cases, is dealt with) in the main article. I believe anything which is encyclopaedic should be merged into QI, and the non-notable elements of this crufty article, such as the "QI elves" section, be deleted.

  • Delete The small amount of useful information on this page could easily be added to the main QI page. The show is also just not significant enough to merit a page like this. It's fairly popular, but no more so than many, many other current UK TV programmes. Lethe 22:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into QI. It's very good, and Stephen Fry is almost godlike, but still... yeah. mattbuck 14:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge This is clearly a "Merge" into QI. Shoessss |  Chat  14:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge then delete merge any relevant info. It's main stumbling point is the lack of a source for it having a cultural impact very much OR. --Neon white (talk) 15:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into QI. As suggested above, the article fails to establish that the programme has had any significant cultural impact at all. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 16:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge[ This is not what is meant by articles on cultural impact of .... As Malleus says, there is no evidence of any impact yet, and no real difference between this content & the main article. DGG (talk) 04:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
