[edit] Miss BG

Miss BG (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

• Queried speedy delete. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:56, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Pretty much for all of the reason listed in the tags I listed (quite a few). Among others: few sources, reads like a fansite (even saying "I like the show"), poorly written, no assertion of notability, and many other problems. I'm not sure that the article could be salvaged in its current form. I don't think the creator of the article intends to improve it since their only edits were creating the article (and that was back on July 4), i'm surprised an article this bad has gone unoticed for over 6 months.

• Keep – I’m sorry, am I looking at the wrong Miss BG? The first hit was ABC as shown here [1] and as you can see there is extensive coverage. In addition, Google News had additional notable, creditable and verifiable sources as shown here. [2]. Come on people a little research before nominating!

  • Maybe the editor who created the article 6 months ago (and then stopped editing Wikipedia) should have done it. It's not our job find notability. TJ Spyke 22:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment – Sorry to disagree, but I believe it is the job of every responsible editor, and looking at your history I would classify you as a responsible editor, to base their expressions on whether to Keep or Delete an article on “Informed opinion” which does require some research. My earlier comments where not to disparage any individual but rather to say; “…take a minute and research an article", it may have been initiated by a new editor, who would really appreciate some help in developing the piece to “A” status rather that just deleting their work and discouraging a potential Pulitzer price writer from coming back to Wikipedia and contributing.. Lastly, Happy New Year to all. Shoessss |  Chat  23:09, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, AfD is not cleanup. It's a verifiable TV series, that makes it notable de facto. Corvus cornix_talk 23:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
• keep. I can't see that TV programmes should be considered automatically notable, but this is one shown in several different countries/languages around the world. An editor's first duty is to edit - not to delete. --Paularblaster (talk) 02:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
