[edit] Getaway

This disambiguation page seems to serve no purpose. of the four entries, the last two are simple dicdefs and clearly should be deleted; and Google research implies that the Australian program is not particularly notable. Delete carmeld1 02:36, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, nationaly broadcast TV programs are notable, and there is also The Getaway and The Getaway (video game). Kappa 04:05, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Getaway is a highly popular travel program on Australian television rating in the top 10 programs in Melbourne last week [1] and third most popular program nationwide according to this Nine Network media release. [2] Capitalistroadster 04:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a very long-running and very high-rating television program - perhaps you should do a little more Google research next time. Ambi 04:58, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep I have just written an article on the TV show and removed the disambiguation message. There should be no drama now. -- Ianblair23 05:04, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- Article has improved since nomination. References to the other possible meanings for Getaway might warrant re-inclusion. - Longhair | Talk 06:20, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:18, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Comment I nominated the disambiguation page for deletion, but if anything, you guys have convinced me of the need for one, given the apparent notablity of the Australian show (sorry, Ambi, I should have done more Google research on that one) plus the notability, as Kappa pointed out, of the movie The Getaway. Ironically, Ianblair23 removed the disamb page but I now think it should be restored. carmeld1 21:58, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - notable Australian show. Comment - it would be really appreciated if people who are nominating articles for deletion which relate to a country or theme other than one they are familiar with, referred the issue to the noticeboard for that country or theme. I myself have done that for an Irish article that appeared to be nonsense (it was confirmed to be nonsense by Irish wikipedians) and for an Islamic article (was not nonsense). Google hits, Amazon ratings, ... are often not adequate to establish whether or not an article is worth keeping.--AYArktos 22:13, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Long-running and high-rating show. --bainer (talk) 02:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --Cyberjunkie | Talk 07:29, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
