[edit] The Amazing Race rules

Just some quotes from others AdamJacobMuller 04:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

full of BS

"speculation, repetition [and] simple hot air"

indiscriminate information

• Merge into The Amazing Race joturner 04:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• "A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. Your choices: Purge It or Merge It. In 'Purge It', the entire article under discussion is simply wiped out. In 'Merge It', anything not in The Amazing Race is moved to the appropriate sections." And since I can't see anything here not in the main article, I say Purge It. --Calton | Talk 04:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Purge It I think one big issue is that all of the information is unabashed speculation, it has no place in the main article, am I supposed to vote on my own AFD? AdamJacobMuller 04:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as self-admitted original research. Everything is already covered in the main AR article anyways. Turnstep 04:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually the section on the top of the page was added by me as a disclaimer. I don't know how whoever created the page got those rules, i was only making an educated guess about it. AdamJacobMuller 05:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Ah, thanks for the clarification. Turnstep 14:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Already covered in the Amazing Race where people would tend to look for it anyway. Capitalistroadster 05:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Redundant. pschemp | talk 06:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Joturner. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 09:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Nothing even worth the merge. Radagast 12:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Capitalistroadster. Pepsidrinka 14:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per my comments on the talk page. Royal Blue ^T/_C 14:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Purge per Calton. Reyk 19:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Philiminate per Capitalistroadster. No merge, as all non-speculative information is there. Also, not a reasonable search term to warrant a redirect. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Purge It per my comments by, like, everyone including myself. --HansTAR 22:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. if there were a concrete set of rules for the Race (and it was released for the public) then you could have such an article, comme the sub-article for Settlers of Catan. Otherwise, the current sub-article really doesn't really expand on what is already presented in the main article. --Madchester 04:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge No need for a separate article for this. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 14:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Redundant and since there is no officially released list of rules, it is entirely self-research anyway. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 05:11, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No need to merge; all information is already on main article. --CrazyLegsKC 12:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete All info is already in the regular amazing race article. And whatever isn't is wrong info (as seen on the discussion page of this article) And also, I believe on one season's website is a short list of 10 rules that are basic and probably already mentioned on the real article.-PURGE IT TeckWiz 22:11, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

  Do you have a link to this? I'm extremely interested in seeing it AdamJacobMuller 22:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes. But like I said, I'm pretty sure it's already on the site. This one is on season 7's page: Amazing Race 7 Glossary It's very general. TeckWiz 21:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge or Keep. Interesting and useful. Stifle 00:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

  Definitely interesting, in a way, but also redundant (already in the main article) and unverifiable, and most unencylopedic. I guess I was getting my hopes up of not seeing a single Keep, oh well, consensus is so much neater when it's unanimous :P AdamJacobMuller 01:50, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

• This should really be deleted. We've had 13/16 say delete it, 2/16 say merge it, and 1/16 say keep it. 13/16 is a pretty good consensus. Someone should delete this already, unless the Amazing Race discloses the official rules to the public, which they probably won't do anytime soon.

  Oh, i'm pretty sure that it's going to be I just wish it would have been unanimous, since it seems like a no-brainer IMHO AdamJacobMuller 02:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Ugh, please delete this now! It has become a pathetic page of fancruft and original research! --HansTAR 01:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
