[edit] Just Men!
Unreferenced article about an apparently minor game show. Reads as original research, and fails to estalish the significance of the subject. Guy (Help!) 09:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. I found two references, one small one from the cultural arm of the Smithsonian and an MBC bio. I'll fix the article momentarily, but the importance of this specific show is that, although it only ran for a few months, White won an Emmy for best game show host for the show - the only female to have done so at the time, and perhaps ever. --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep notability is permanent, just because this show is old doesn't mean we shouldn't have a page on it. Also Betty White is a huge figure in the history of televsion. Also what Jeff said about the awards makes this show notable. I'm assuming the writer is using the show as the Primary source so it's not OR. - Peregrine Fisher 18:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, of course, the article establishes notability, not to mention Jeff's comment proving notability, requires in-line citations however. Matthew 18:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Betty White or something, after removing all un-attribute-able material. Lotusduck 19:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- Unattributed does not mean unnatributable. Almost all of this can be taken from the show itself without resorting to OR. The OR that should be removed is "(hence the title)." And 'such as "Have you ever been in trouble with the law?"' should be changed to 'An example question is "Have you ever been in trouble with the law?"'. - Peregrine Fisher 19:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep References look solid. Legit TV show and certainly notable per badlydrawnjeff. --SubSeven 20:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- keep the Emmy is certainly sufficient for the show as well as for White. DGG 02:32, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per Badlydrawnjeff. Also, just because it's a "minor" game show doesn't mean it needs to be deleted. Just needs a clean-up/strong write-up. And quick question, Viera recently won a "Best Game Show Host" emmy herself, right? FamicomJL 01:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
