[edit] Verdicts Of Video On Trial

  • non-notable, listcruft, unencyclopedic, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, etc. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 01:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or be sentenced to watch them all ➥the Epopt 02:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Argh, listcruft! delete. I must however say that I do like the neat table :-) Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 11:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Excuse me, but if this site is allowed to post episode guides & results for other television shows (such as Celebrity Deathmatch, for example), then I fail to see why this really needs to be deleted. Now I'll admit that some of the verdicts couldn't be worded 100% like the one's on the show, & that the spirit of the show could make it seem as though some of it is vandalism, but having seen every episode myself (& editing it weekly with the latest verdicts), I can assure you that I always make sure to post the verdicts as accurately as possible. Still, if any one here actually has links to the episodes as well, that'd definitely help. But I, for one, being a big fan of the show, enjoy this article & would like to keep it up.

  • Comment, SlyDante makes a very good point, however I am concerned about the lack of context and verifiability. No vote either way at this point. Resolute 04:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thank you very much, Resolute. And I am actually worried about the context & verifiability as well, because as far as I know, no episodes have been released on DVD yet, & very few have been posted on the Internet. If it would help, I could try e-mailing MuchMusic for help in filling in the missing verdicts & verifying/fixing the others. But aside from all of that, all the info here pretty much comes from the memories of fans like me, & once again I assure you all that I try to make sure that it is all as accurate as possible. Also, I do not believe this is "listcruft", as much like an episode guide, this helps to inform the reader as to what videos have been featured on the show. SlyDante 2:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Strange but interesting Timb0h 11:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I think there is nothing wrong with this article

  • Delete. WP:NOT a TV guide. Sandstein 23:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I've already made my case before. "WP:NOT a TV guide." Okay, so what do you call all those episode summaries of Invader Zim, Friends, South Park, Drawn Together, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc., etc., that Wiki has? This is just hypocrisy. SlyDante 21:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Please read WP:AGF. You're free to nominate these for deletion, too. I'd support deleting them, except where the episodes are individually notable for their cultural impact etc. Sandstein 05:29, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep At least one Canadian show is getting some form of documentation........ NeoAC 1 November 2006
