[edit] TV Single Dads

Original research delete —porges(talk) 03:59, 28 April 2006 (UTC) (See below.)

  • Delete, agree with nom. For the creator, if he comes here, please read WP:NOR. —Cuiviénen, Friday, 28 April 2006 @ 04:03 UTC Move now, per User:Porge below. —Cuiviénen, Saturday, 29 April 2006 @ 03:05 UTC
  • Comment I think this could be interesting and useful as List of television characters who are single fathers or something of the like. Blossom and Full House come to mind as shows that revolved around that premise. GT 04:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Could be, but the current article doesn't even have a list of that sort that could be moved (and a category would better serve the purpose, I think). —Cuiviénen, Friday, 28 April 2006 @ 04:23 UTC
  • Delete, OR --Deville (Talk) 06:02, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, WP:NOR. --Terence Ong 11:39, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per above. PJM 12:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems as viable as many other things on Wiki. I've taken out intro to reduce it to facts. Tyrenius 17:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Per WP:NOR Beno1000 22:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I can't see how a list like this is OR any more than any other list, and there's plenty of lists on Wiki, all of which require gathering the information.Tyrenius 23:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Note: the list as it stands now is not the article I nominated for deletion. Compare [1] and [2]. I hereby recommend the article is moved to something along the lines of "List of television shows featuring single fathers", and the current one deleted with no redirect. —porges(talk) 23:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Redirect per my original comment and revised nom. Nom: why not redirect TV Single Dads to your recommended list? "TV Single Dads" is not the most unusual search term and it is certainly relevant to what that list would contain. Also please consider when nominating articles for deletion under "No original research" whether the article can be made to exist as a valid entry with no original research. Sometimes this is not the case (for instance List of the best-tasting ice cream flavors) but in cases like this OR is a reason to fix the article, not delete it. —GT 00:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment the article as it was in the first place had no list but was just a commentary. See [3]. The list was added later by different editors. Also agree to redirect, it's not that unusual ;) —porges(talk) 00:24, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, it seems as if, in a strange convoluted way, this is actually an example of successful collaboration! Tyrenius 01:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep in its current form it's an obvious keeper and violates no WP stds. Carlossuarez46 22:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
