History of All My Children (1970-1979)[edit]

Delete - Wikipedia articles are not decade by decade summaries of the plots of soap operas. Otto4711 13:33, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above, failure of WP:NOT. Brief plot summaries on individual episode articles are acceptable - a plot synopsis over a long period of time is not. Arkyan  ^(talk) 14:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge? the information into the main All My Children article. Useight 16:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as I'm not sure how something like this is not encyclopedic as it can definitely be referenced and concerns a show that has been around for a long time. --164.107.222.23 16:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All - Wikipedia is not the place for plot overviews. Corpx 17:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOT#PLOT. These are just plot summaries. Jay32183 18:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and most others. Carlossuarez46 20:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete per nom. Terrible fancruft.Bigdaddy1981 23:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete-- because as Us8 points out, this can be merged into the All My Children article, which has its own 1970-present history. These articles appear to be an extended version of the history of the show and its fictional world. That's what webpages are for. Mandsford 23:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this show is a part of popular culture and like many other soap operas, has served as a launching pad for various actors and actresses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom2700 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That has nothing to do with any of Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Jay32183 03:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
