Talk:Hollywood Game Night

Episode table
I made a new table for how we can (hopefully) list the episodes. Obviously, I only did this past episode because if nobody likes it, what's the point of doing it all?

Thoughts? ~ 01:21, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

I think the grid is pretty great. However, the only thing I would address is to add a sort of guide on top of the grids explaining what all the different colors or the bolding of celebrities name means. That would make it a lot clearer. It would let people know which team won, who was chosen for the final game and if they won the money. Right now, it looks a bit confusing. Hope that helps.184.160.203.195 (talk) 17:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)samusek2

Frankly, I don't see why they are even considering deleting the list, but if they must, I'd rather the main article has the list on their page.Kaos 42 (talk) 22:55, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

EPISODES DELETED?!?!?!?
Who deleted the episode list showing the date of each episode with who the guest stars were? This makes NO sense. It needs to be a part of this and needs to be returned now. 24.211.85.131 (talk) 10:40, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/List of Hollywood Game Night episodes for why the list was deleted. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 11:17, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * "The Free Encyclopedia"... Right! I'm sorry, but that arguments are nonsense, someone decides that "doesn't provide any relevant guidance" or something like that and that's it? What harm can it make the page just existing? Whoever deleted the page is just abusing his "power". How can more information be worse in a encyclopedia? 181.29.236.116 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * See WP:LISTCRUFT and read the 11 meanings. If that does not answer your question, nothing will. Cheers, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 02:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you can "win" the argument, because obviously you know more about wikipedia and I'm not even a fluent English speaker. But as said in the discussion the list makes sense as any show of that style (QI was mentioned) and it doesn't "interest to a very limited number of people" because it's a very popular show and provides guidance to keep track of the episodes you watched, what happened in each one, etc. It's as "unencyclopaedic" as any episode list.
 * Again, you can probably make me look like an idiot with your bigger knowledge of the page and some technicalities. But I'm positive that the wikipedia policies/rules were meant to manage and improve this great site not to delete useful content over some guy(s) different opinions. 181.29.236.116 (talk) 19:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to call you an idiot, or "win" the argument (although my school does offer Debate classes, which I have done well in (though that's a completely different discussion)), or anything like that, I'm just saying that individual results for most game shows are not notable enough to merit their own article. Read these for more info:
 * Articles for deletion/List of Deal or No Deal (U.S. game show) episodes
 * Articles for deletion/List of Figure It Out episodes
 * Articles for deletion/List of BrainSurge episodes
 * Articles for deletion/List of The Chase (UK game show) episodes
 * If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me or anyone else, and I will answer them to the best of my ability. I have also posted a welcome message on your talk page with some helpful links for more inexperienced editors. Cheers, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:29, 4 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I can't believe this article exhaustively lists all the games played on the show in what is glaringly obvious WP:LISTCRUFT (if I was concerned with that, which I'm not) -- and the consensus (consensus?) was to delete the episode list. This is a great example of dumb deletions of content by editors supposedly protecting Wikipedia. It's obviously wrong on every level. Maddening and short-sighted. Completely hurts Wikipedia to have done this. I hate this about Wikipedia editors. Shows a complete lack of understanding and common sense of what is usable and helpful on the encyclopedia.

 * You want a list? Go here for an episode list. That's what the game show wikis are for. We are not the game show wikis. We are Wikipedia, and to argue that this is "a complete lack of understanding and common sense of what is usable and helpful on the encyclopedia" falls under WP:USEFUL and WP:ILIKEIT. To be honest, the list of games probably constitutes as excessive as well ( should be able to explain my reasoning further if he's around?). This issue was last brought up over a year and a half ago and I have better things to do than to restart this debate. You can find these lists elsewhere; Wikipedia is not and should not be one of those places. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 05:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Totally disagree. This entry is now a joke and the decision to delete the hard work of editors is wrong. If you and other editors can't understand that then it's your limitation. Isn't the rule of thumb to not do harm? You're doing harm to Wikipedia. BrillLyle (talk) 05:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * You've been a member of Wikimania New York City, so I'm not going to question the fact that you know a lot about Wikipedia, but read WP:LISTCRUFT and take a look at the AFDs above. This is simple WP policy, and consistency should also be policy. Like I said, you can find a list of episodes on other cites, but that's not what WP is for. If you disagree with the guidelines, that's fine, but they're still the guidelines and need to be observed. To suggest that we're "doing harm to Wikipedia" by adhering to the policies makes no sense. I respect your opinion and appreciate your willingness to talk this out rather than recreating the article without any consensus or discussion. (Note that I am not the one who deleted it; I merely support the "delete" arguments presented in the AFD.) --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 20:53, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
