Animal (Doctor Who audio)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Fails WP:GNG. Also an unreferenced audio drama that doesn't come out until 2011 and per WP:CRYSTAL and the corollary of WP:NFF. Not necessarily opposed to creation after the release date, provided that notability can be established. Joint nom with The Architects of History, Thin Ice (Doctor Who audio, Crime Of The Century (Doctor Who audio), and Earth Aid, all of which are unreleased Doctor Who audio dramas, and none of which have references or significant coverage.

 * Comment I'm sorry, I don't understand. "Animal" is exactly the same as all the previous pages.  It contains a link to the official site proving all the information provided.  As do "Crime" & "Earth Aid".  When more information is available, I will add more.  And you have the wrong link for "Thin Ice".  And "Architects" came out last month.  Why are you doing this?  These pages I make are used often and always factual.  Why delete something that's going to be used just because you don't think it's relevant yet?  So you take it down and then I put it back up at a closer release date?  You're just making more work for both of us.  And depriving everyone else of information. I don't go around deleting other people's pages just because I don't like them. Play nice.  Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cumbersnatch (talk • contribs) 21:52, May 4, 2010

 * Delete Animal (Doctor Who audio) - Sorry, I love the Big Finish audios to death, but (a) this fails WP:CRYSTAL, (b) the article is currently a plot-only description of a fictional work, and (c) there's no evidence of independent notability. Much in the same way as every episode of a notable TV series isn't automatically entitled to an article, neither should these be, with the obvious exception of particularly notable audios like The Sirens of Time, Jubilee, etc.  I'd vastly prefer to see Rob Shearman's work on Jubilee done justice by having that article fixed up than see you waste your time defending speculative articles about future releases. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No comment on other nominations - The joint nomination has not been performed correctly, appears to be based on inaccurate information, and raises different questions of policy to Animal (Doctor Who audio), so I decline to comment on the other articles. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:27, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete As DustFormsWords, I don't see why every Dr Who audio should be notable when most of the articles clearly fail WP:GNG. One that doesn't even exist yet... I see no justification for keeping this. Bondegezou (talk) 22:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
