The Beatles trivia[edit]

WP:NOT, WP:OR, WP:LC, WP:LIST etc... Trivia Information. see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Madonna_trivia060916 and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Keane_trivia--Td6c 16:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article was up for deletion a short time ago, and it survived. (16 July 2006 [1] ) Why is it under threat of deletion again? --andreasegde 17:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article certainly shouldn't be deleted, as it contains a wealth of material which is actually quite useful and beyond trivial. Funnily enough, it's actually a pretty good article! I agree that the "good" material ought to be farmed out to other articles, or this one renamed, but that can't happen if it's zapped. Also, the article serves as a tremendous pressure valve for the main The Beatles article which otherwise gets filled with every fact our many anon visitors can throw at it. Finally, your quoting of precedent is extremely one-sided. This article has previously survived AFDs as have other articles with "trivia" in the title. --kingboyk 18:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. --Dennisthe2 19:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the main problem with this article is that the bulk of it isn't trivia, it's genuinely useful information of the type that people could easily come here for. That said, I'm not sure what else it could be called. To compare it to the Keane trivia article which contained such nuggets as "they love food" is a tad unfair.Ac@osr 20:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note - the user account that created this AfD only seems to exist for the purpose of submitting AfDs, and of the four that have been submitted, consensus thus far has been keep. --Dennisthe2 21:24, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Aha. That would be a disgruntled user who had their own trivia article deleted then. I'll close this as a violation of WP:POINT and block them. --kingboyk 23:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
