Wipeout (Australian game show)[edit]

Thus is a contested speedy delete on an article for a future TV show. Contester has not given reasons to date. This seems to me to be just spam. Grahame (talk) 13:40, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Wouldn't it be better to wait for the outcome of the speedy before launching into AfD? WWGB (talk) 13:48, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment WWGB's probably right in general - but I've just removed the speedy since there was nothing promotional about the wording of the article. It may however be a WP:CRYSTAL violation since the current sources don't look particularly reliable (second opinions welcome), and all I can find in reliable sources is fairly trivial coverage (e.g. [1], [2]) Olaf Davis | Talk 13:58, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Based on Channel Nine's page on the show, it's verifiable that the show is going into production. The show is reasonably notable as a result; the article should be expanded rather than deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 15:01, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep ~~because I really liked the Peter Tomarken version when I was a kid~~ because there seem to be just enough sources. I don't really see any blatant WP:CRYSTAL work here. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 15:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Wipeout (TV series). MuZemike (talk) 20:09, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am about to expand the article with the most information possible. The article is certainly not spam and is not against WP:CRYSTAL. The Official Nine Network site has mostly U.S. series information, as it is currently airing in Australia, but a registration form was available on the website for a period of time, now replaced with "Registrations are now closed". Also, Kelly Landry has just been named co-host. I'm sure this is enough to warrant the article to stay. --Lakeyboy (talk) 23:35, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The program is just a duplicate of the American Wipeout program, so there's nothing new to say about the format. After the series is on Australian television, it will then be worth merging one line of information into the main US Wipeout article.--Lester 03:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In current form it does not cite sufficient reliable sources. Should be redirected to Wipeout (TV series). Advertising / press releases from either the network or the production company don't help show notability.Ga rr ie 05:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Wipeout (2008 game show). I don't see the Australian edition in particular being a notable programme, but if it gets any secondary coverage (as opposed to an avalanche of press releases), they can be added to the main TV programme article.
