Deal or No Deal, Season 2 (US)[edit]

As per the other game show nominations: A list of game show episodes isn't needed. Look at the detail of each episode: it just describes what the models wear, guest stars (which is only once in a while), and what the contestant won. Purely fancruft. If we had an article for each season of a long running game show such as Price is Right, Wikipedia would be flooded with useless information such as Bob Barker wore a brown suit and so on.

Delete per above. Movementarian (Talk) 06:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. and the reason I stated in the season 1 nomination. TJ Spyke 06:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Quick Keep -- all other series have episode guides, and this one is no exception. -- azumanga 12:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it!!!! -- for the same reason.
NO DEAL! -- Wikipedia has many guides, and why remove one that has a huge fan following? Besides, so many important details about the show are in this guide! I have also contributed heavily to this page. Andrewb1 14:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Quick Keep -- As above, other episode guides exist. There are some very interesting details here. People are editing and reading it. Are we ready to delete other episode guides and episode articles, such as every episode article for Seinfeld, the show about nothing? User101010 18:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteUnsourced original research going into painfully too much detail. It is appropriate to have one article for a game show, and inappropriate to write up what color clothing everyone wore in every episode. The Price is Right has been on 50 years, and only has one article for each reincarnation of the show (different format, different host).Edison 18:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — I have one of two suggestions here. Either:
- Keep and edit it down to the basic information (e.g., who won what and a brief summation of the game). Agree that there is no need to write down such minute details as what the models wore (unless it particularly stands out); the summaries themselves are too long. In the season 1 guide, I had edited down the summaries because of this very problem, which is one of (I'm sure) several reasons why this article was afd.
- Move content (or rewrite it) to [TVIV wiki]. Again, the same standard would apply.

All this counts as just one vote. [[Briguy52748 19:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)]][reply]

Keep. I don't think we should differentiate between game shows and sitcoms and reality shows, etc. A season episode guide for a very notable show should certainly be kept. --- RockMFR 19:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:TVE.--Angllues 22:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is a tough decision: I like the list, but it's "no deal" when listing in Wikipedia - therefore, delete per nom, and possibly move to the TVIV wiki. Big top 00:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Eusebeus 00:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons of notability and similarity to other episode articles, per my entry on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deal or No Deal, Season 1 (US). A move of the two episode articles to the TVIV wiki would be an acceptable compromise for me, because we could still include links to the material in the main Deal or No Deal (US game show) article. At any rate, I ask whoever closes the AfD to make sure that the material in both episode articles is available for moving to the TVIV wiki if the final decision is to delete them from Wikipedia.

Delete. Doesn't look good. Zarbat 05:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and per Wikipedia not being an indiscriminate collection of trivia. Game shows don't have "episodes". A transwiki per Casey Abell is not unreasonable if TVIV licensing is compatible. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I don't think the question, then, should be whether TVIV licensing is compatible (it isn't; I've edited there and had to essentially create "new" descriptions for episodes that exist elsewhere on non-public domain sites including Wikipedia), but whether someone should place episode information there (hence the "rewrite" suggestion that is included among my two suggestions).

Strong delete. This kind of excreta is either a parody or the product of minds with an unbounded tolerance for unencyclopedic drivel. Pete Fenelon 01:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. -AMK152 03:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - An episode guide has been started at TVIV.org. Even if the result is to delete, this new episode guide will help fit the bill. Thanks! [[Briguy52748 17:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)]][reply]
Delete Terrible amount of needless information, wikipedia does not need plot summaries to a gameshow. Mallocks 14:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's a bunch of silly trivia about the episodes, and poorly written at that. If such a page were to exist, do it right, and have the player, their final deal, what was in their case, and any 'notable' events. What the models wore is not notable. 63.226.222.154 07:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
