[edit] The Jeremy Kyle Show

This page should be deleted as wikipedia is not a collection of t.v. shows that are aired. The t.v show is in the form of a The Jeremy Kyle Show The t.v show is in the form of a chat show and is low on factual content. The article is a short stub like article that dose not have a place on wikipedia. It is badly written and unrefrenced and contains original research.--Lucy-marie 14:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I believe television shows on major networks do merit articles, since they are well known and therefore can pass verifiability. Their ratings are tracked, and their airdates are documented, so original research can be avoided. It might need a little bit of cleaning, but it definitely doesn't merit deletion. It has also been in the news. --Wafulz 16:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - A real television show, as shown on ITV1 and ITV2. I will try to fix the article in a moment. Iolakana•T 17:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As an American I'm not familiar with ITV, but from what I've read it seems like a major network. Any show on a major network is notable. SliceNYC 18:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • How is it now? I have had to strip two paragraphs from it, per WP:CITE and WP:OR. [1] Iolakana•T 18:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

it is even orse thgere is now less information than befoe so it now goes from stub like to being an actual stub--84.67.170.243 18:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • Seems like a solid stub to me. SliceNYC 18:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as entirely notable. The solution for most "short stub like" articles is to expand them, not delete them. Molerat 18:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Coming up next... how to keep an article on Wikipedia. --Nydas 19:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Huh, the nominator struck through my comment as 'tottal irellevant'. I thought that whimsical comments weren't totally disallowed, especially in blatantly obvious cases like this.--Nydas 06:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. TV shows are inherently notable. If Holmes & Yo-Yo can have an article ... 23skidoo 06:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable. I seem to remember the article being somewhat bigger, mind, but even in its current state, keep. --Kiand 15:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it is short but i'm sure it will be built upon. Better than some stubs.   Keithology  Talk!  15:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep one of the flagship daytime shows on the UK's second most significant television channels. Not only notable because it's a tv show but because it happens to be more notable than most UK shows. MLA 08:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
