Deal or No Deal, Series 1 (UK)[edit]

Similar to the other Deal or No Deal lists I've put up: fancruft at best. Lists of gameshow episodes aren't needed here. RobJ1981 05:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminant collection of information. MER-C 05:34, 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]
Strongly Keep. This article includes records from the series - records which would make both the main Deal or No Deal UK article and the UK game show records article, far too full. This is also a very useful resource that a lot of people, myself included, use and update regularly. Cipher ^(Yell) 18:43, 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 19:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article has existed since April with no objections, and is the only list of its kind on the internet, many of which finding it a useful source. Does not go into trivial details, simply lists very brief summaries of each game, and considering it covers 66 episodes is fairly short an article. Billy H 19:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a show built around statistics, any article claiming to be an information resource on it should include summaries in some form - see the commercially available book, which lists similar data. Elcondor 08:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC) 144.32.128.68 08:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Keep as per my comments for series 3. Triangle e 13:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete this crud, along with all these 'episode guides' for gameshows. Nothing of note happens in them. Pete Fenelon 01:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If it is the case that this is the most complete listing of the statistics available on the internet then that surely brings up problems with verifiability. Having said that I don't think that attacks like yours Pete are actually neccesary, a simple "Delete" gets across the same point without the same violence of opinion.

- Comment The stats are verifiable from a number of sites linked from the main show article. They are generally available within show reports etc, whereas this contains a concise one-line summary of each game. --90.240.134.213 20:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The UK listings are in an entirely different format to the US season nominated above, they should certainly not be directly compared. 86.20.30.144 14:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cipher, this article can be a useful resource for people. bbx 08:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and above. We're not a TV guide, and an episode list for a game show is just... insane. -- Ned Scott 05:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
