Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Life Inside A Console

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was MERGE. Neither numbers nor argument provide a slam-dunk for any one solution. Flat-out Delete is, I think, out of the question as overly destructive for an outcome endorsed by only about 1/3 of commentors. That leaves Keep or Merge. Which? This is a toughie, but my reading of it is that the Merge arguments have the upper hand. No information will be destroyed so I think this is OK. Because of the length of the articles, I will merge them into separate articles for each season. There is much too much material to merge the whole shebang into the main article.

Life Inside A Console (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

• Keep, It's not the most vital pages on Wikipedia, but mega64 is semi-popular, and has gotten press attention, it might as well have an episode guide Owlofcreamcheese
• Keep, it's a legitimate show and there is enough information for each article. Kuralyov 04:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Appears legit and the articles are written well. - grubber 17:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Per nom, we are not an advertising or fan site for the show. We need in-depth reliable independent coverage to turn these plot summaries into actual encyclopedia articles containing "real-world context and sourced analysis." Scanning the first few pages of Google hits shows lots of blogs and nothing we can use here. Nothing in news databases. All fail WP:N and WP:NOT#IINFO. Incidentally the topic of the main article Mega64 also appears to fail WP:N, so let's not do a reduce&merge of the episode pages into there. Pan Dan 16:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep Mega64 is highly notable,, and the individual episodes are notable enough themselves ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 20:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - the show passed notability hands down, but this host of entries borders on cybersquating. HagenUK 20:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. I'm not a fan of episode lists at all, and this one could be condensed and merged into the main article quite well. Realkyhick 21:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge I am not aware of this series. If it's notable though, merge them into 1 article. TJ Spyke 23:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless notable, in which case, merge into 1 article. 38.100.34.2 22:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep You have episode guides for Pure Pwnage and it is in the same vein as Mega 64 however Mega 64 has been hired by gaming company such as UBI Soft and Vivendi Universal. They have also been featured on MTV and have made commercials for Spike TV. They are extremely notable and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Couchmalcolm (talk • contribs) 19:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC).
• merge per HagenUK - I'm of the biased opinion that Wikipedia shouldn't even have episode guides for The Simpsons or Star Trek. Couchmalcolm, nobody is disputing that the series is notable - rather, that there's no need for separate Wikipedia articles on each episode. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

• merge the articles are not to long so merging them shouldn't be to big of a problem unless you got ISP <56k ... i have seen anime episodes for different series all merged in one file in a table with a short summary for each episode, but the episode summaries were much shorter than some of the articles above (:O) -Nima Baghaei (talk) 05:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• delete. Absoultely no evidence of notability. NBeale 07:24, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not very notable and every minute detail from individual episodes just turns Wikipedia into a promotional vehicle. Cioxx 17:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
