[edit] Power of 10 Ratings

Power of 10 Ratings (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unneeded statistics that are not notable enough on their own to deserve a separate article; would require constant upkeep to keep article current. Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 02:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

(Note: Promoted from prod to AFD due to comment on my user talk page.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dachannien (talk • contribs) 02:45, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

(Also note: Article was moved after AfD creation to Power of 10 Episodes.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dachannien (talk • contribs) 01:26, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, would too easily become outdated even if merged to the main Power of 10 page. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 03:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:INDISCRIMINATE#4. This is statistics, not proper info. On the list of episodes it might have its place as a comment.K14 04:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of notability for ratings of this TV show Corpx 06:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Corpx.--Getaway 13:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into the show's article. This would make the show's article more substantial and relevant. -- Mikeblas 14:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per Mikeblas. J-stan ^Talk_Contribs 20:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:ATT and notability guidelines. "the highest ratings the timeslot had seen since Mid-May" would not be an encyclopedic assertion of notability even if sourced. I presume all published sources refer back to ACNielsen's press releases of their Nielsen ratings. While there may be brief mentions of this show's ratings in newspaper and magazine articles about the show, or conceivably in articles about each week's ratings, I doubt there are any mentions (independent pieces, not those generated by a PR person) giving significant coverage to the show's ratings. What little coverage exists can be summarized in the show's article, and need not be repeated at this level of detail. If any of the article's content is merged to Power of 10, then a redirect is needed, but otherwise I would recommend no redirect. Barno 00:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. Ratings are fairly common tv show article fodder. And it's useful if it's in moderation. I'd suggesting merging and then taking out the chart but keeping a summary of the ratings. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 00:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Ratings for the start of a series or the average ratings for a season might be worth including, and any significant change in ratings relevant to an event that hit the news would be worthwhile (e.g., ratings falling after a timeslot change or killing off a character). I do think the material in this article goes into more detail than desired, though. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 01:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge, agreeing with Woohookitty. The chart is unnecessary, as ratings for every episode is not important, but ratings for the pilot, special episodes, and average ratings are important and should be on the main page. --Jon Terry 14:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
