Gladiators season 1[edit]

This series of articles fails Wikipedia:Verifiability, because the information contained in them does not rely on reliable sources, and I do not believe that reliable sources exist for the level of detail contained in the articles. The articles' source is a fan forum, which stopped letting me access it, without registration, today. What the fan forum was when I accessed it recently was several forum members discussing their memories of the shows from the season in question--it seemed to me to be pure original research. I think that the level of detail in Gladiators (British TV show) is obtainable through the one reliable source I found, imdb, and even though that article enjoys very little in the way of sourcing it can be improved and contains a lot of information about the TV show. Currently, that article doesn't even link to these articles about the seasons. Darkspots (talk) 00:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following related pages:

Delete as per nom. However, I think this info could be trimmed and put into an article about Gladiators, as a show, but not one article per season.--RedShiftPA (talk) 01:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To make what I said above more clear, Gladiators (British TV show) has a lot of info about which characters on the show appeared in which season. That is sourceable; the level of detail in these articles, regrettably, is not. Darkspots (talk) 03:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the external links from all the seasons pages that they were on and suggest that the seasons are all put on one whole page rather than eight individual ones because I want them kept on Wikipedia because I think that the information put on them is very useful.

'Delete all. These pages are entirely unreferenced, and their content is basically non-notable fancruft anyway - we don't need to keep this information, even if references can be found. Terraxos (talk) 22:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - verifiability concerns. Addhoc (talk) 12:03, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
