[edit] Neighbours UK

This version of the original article about the Australian soap opera Neighbours was created recently because the programme is broadcast a few weeks later in the UK than it is in Australia and some UK viewers don't want to see "spoilers". It is therefore a fork and over time the two versions could become more and more divergent and perhaps inconsistent. Overall quality is likely to suffer if the editorial effort is divided. This is a very bad precedent as it could be applied to hundreds of programmes which are broadcast in more than one country. Spoiler warnings on the relevant sections are sufficient and if people want to be sure of avoiding all spoilers they can read an old version from the history.

• Delete Seems to me if there is a genuine demand for this (which I doubt), some UK mirror site could host such a thing. Fan1967 23:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete A fairly useless and unworkable idea. --Fuzzie (talk) 23:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Fork article which would set a horrible precedent. Most television shows shown outside their country of origin are screened later than in the home market so we could have ER (UK), Desperate Housewives (Australia) and Lost (Ireland) as examples. Capitalistroadster 02:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• I vote to delete. While spoilers in in the main article are a problem for UK viewers (including myself), this separate page is definitely unencyclopaedic. NOTE: A small number of voters (including myself) have mistakenly posted to the Neighbours UK talk page. I was wondering why there had been so few votes! Hopefully the others will copy to here also. --Matthew Humphreys 11:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Originally thought keep but have changed my mind after reading other people's points. Canderra 14:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Just use spoiler warnings. This would set a very poor precedent. I don't want to see "censored" articles for other shows. --Optichan 22:06, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
