Britain's Got Talent (Series 1)

Prod removed without explanation so nominating it for deletion. Pages largely re-cover material available already at Britain's Got Talent. Mallocks (talk) 09:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edited to add: There is a similar page at Britain's Got Talent (Series 2), and as of this message I have now added the afd notice to that page as well, following the relisting of this debate. Mallocks (talk) 21:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unnessacary topic, as with above reasons. The whole article copies the Britain's Got Talent page. Of course if the topic was expanded to include more in-depth detail and removed from the Britain's Got Talent page, then I might change my mind. Thenthornthing (talk) 18:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article has a lot of potential, but it is just not needed in its current state. –thedemonhog talk • edits 03:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are two series, and we need articles for both. You might want to consider reducing what's in the main article and leaving the rest of the detail for the series articles. Everyking (talk) 10:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Merge/Redirect I dont think there is enough in the main article to justify a fork. --neon white talk 01:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is no Infomation on series 1 in the main article. But try to add more infomation about the acts. I argee with Starczamora there is seperate series/ season with other shows e.g American Idol, America's Got Talent, and The X Factor so it needs one with Britain's Got Talent. --1020J (talk) 08:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as to clean up the Britain's Got Talent page as its getting a bit cluttered with all of the information from both series on there. I agree it needs a lot of work but that can be sorted in time. Tresiden (talk) 09:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. It needs a seperate page for each series because the main article is getting quite cluttered with all of the information from both series. So all about series 1 on the main article should be deleted .This article also has more infomation than the main article and no vandalism.--78.144.142.219 (talk) 10:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)— 78.144.142.219 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Strong Keep. It has more infomation that the main article that is getting quite full. Also what is in the main article about series 1 should be delected. Also I agree with 1020J.--84.13.102.135 (talk) 16:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)— 84.13.102.135 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Strong Keep. It Is Much Better Than The Main Article Because It Has More Info On The Acts ----001012A (talk) 17:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)001012A[reply]
Delete (or merge) & Redirect as needless fork. Eusebeus (talk) 20:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. It has tones more infomation than the main arlicle that is getting to full I can't find any reason why it should be deleted. I argee with 78.144.142.219. --78.148.249.9 (talk) 16:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Although there have only been two seasons of Britain's Got Talent so far, it's probably best to get into the habit of having the series info on separate pages. In the future, the main article will get clogged with more series info, so it's probably best to get it out of the way now. TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 16:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is exactly why you fork. It would make little sense to keep the content for each season in the parent article. Alansohn (talk) 17:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There should be separate articles of every series/ season of a TV show, especially among competition shows. See the separate season articles of American Idol. Starczamora (talk) 23:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It seems like pretty much standard operating procedure to have separate articles for each season of a major reality television show. S. Dean Jameson (talk) 00:35, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
