[edit] Recess (TV series)
This honestly doesn't seem notable enough. It might be a Disney series, but they make hundreds of them, and I really don't think this is appropriate for an encyclopedia. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:31, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep This show was on network "Saturday Morning Cartoons" (for lack of a better description) for about three years, and now is playing on Disney's cable channel. We have a lot of lesser TV shows on Wikipedia than this. Bratsche 04:12, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, article does not establish notability. Entire article merely consist of a list of fictious characters in the series. Megan1967 04:42, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. Since when were television series not suitable? There's thousands of them already. Xezbeth 05:55, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This show ran for years and is still running on many television stations in early-morning syndication. Research. Cripes. Mike H 07:41, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Concur with Megan; the series may be notable, but this article is a Bad Thing. I'd say delete the article and rewrite from scratch as a description of the series, rather than a list of characters. Radiant! 08:43, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm guessing this show's not really notable outside the USA, but here it's at least borderline notable. /sɪzlæk˺/ 08:47, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Wasn't there a Recess spin off film made? And it was (still is?) popular in the UK as well, being shown on ITV Nick04 08:50, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep TV series aired on major networks. Kappa 09:08, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Utter keep. Popular show on national TV in US and UK, so certainly notable. sjorford →•← 11:13, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup. It's been on for several years on a major network, I don't see how it CAN'T be notable. --InShaneee 15:31, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. If Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi was kept, why not this? -- AllyUnion (talk) 16:49, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep I would say that pretty much any national network TV show is notable enough for an article, and this is more notable than most. 4 seasons on network TV, continued airings on national cable, it has a dedicated fan community, it's won Emmy awards, it's been spun off as a feature film, it's had several direct-to-video movies, it's had big-name guest stars like Eric Idle, James Earl Jones, and Dick Clark... do I have to go on? It's notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:54, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Strong keep! Encyclopedic article, notable program. Sure, the article needs a bit of TLC, but it sure isn't a VfD candidate. - Lucky 6.9 23:31, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. The many TV series articles in existence pretty much indicates that such articles are encyclopedic and worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Like most articles, this one can use some improvement but that's normal. 23skidoo 01:01, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep, notable show that lasted several seasons. --Matteh (talk) 05:03, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep very notable and popular Disney TV show. I will clean it up a little bit right now. --b. Touch 14:58, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Strong keep. Notable TV series, encyclopedic topic. --Andylkl 04:19, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't watch television, but even I have heard of this one. Zetawoof 10:58, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. National release or better from a major company. - RedWordSmith 19:23, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
