Bigg Boss 6

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Almost entirely a copyvio from the program's website. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:09, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Typical Indian television article! §§ §§ {T/C} 03:01, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: Just deleting an article is not the solution. Encourage editors to contribute to this article and rephrase the copyvio content in your own words so that it can be kept. Warnings and threats provide no solution to this issue. -- I'mTitannium chat 09:21, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: Its idiotic to delete this article. its about a popular show many people stumble from internet over this article. as for deleting the copyright content, bravo you just managed to scare off another writer from wikipedia. why don't you try encouraging the same editor to rewrite the article accordingly. Deleting the article is no solution. 117.225.137.5 (talk) 18:30, 11 October 2012 (UTC) — 117.225.137.5 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep - This is sixth season of this show, the articles of the previous seasons are in good state. As time passes the quality/content of article is increasing. -Abhishikt (talk) 19:06, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the support everyone. You guys have no idea how much likeness do I have for Bigg Boss articles. Season 5 started with no interest from anyone at all. I was a resident reader but The article wasn't updated for a whole two weeks hence i had to take over. I'm doing the same for the sixth season and these bullies aren't letting me do it. Plus they keep filling up my talk page with warnings just cause i created pages for the housemates who don't have articles on wikipedia. Like there's more to life than just hatred. -- I'mTitannium chat 06:06, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * keep Major indian television show. No problem with notability. There are scores of articles on individual episodes of western tv shows! I do not get the point of this deletion proposal. If there are concerns over copy vio, that can be dealt with by editing the article. This should be a speedy keep.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:46, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * How many keeps more required to remove this tag? -- I'mTitannium chat 07:20, 13 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Major copyvio (which I'm about to delete most of now), needs to be entirely re-written. LegoKontribsTalkM 19:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow, it's more confusing to figure out which news source copied Wikipedia, and which source Wikipedia copied. LegoKontribsTalkM 19:54, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly. There's no telling who copied whom. Almost half of his world copy pastes from Wikipedia. The content we post is immediately copy pasted into making new articles on blogs and other website. It aint our fault so remove this tag and live happily. -- I'm Titanium  chat  07:59, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Please show some integrity Imtitanium. It is disgraceful on your part to say such a statement. Times of India published a summary of the day 2 happenings in this article on 9th October, which you have copied and pasted to the article on 10th October. Its the same case with the summary of all the days. The Revision history says it all. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 12:58, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * If your so concerned why don't you go ahead and rephrase the copyright content, ehh? considering how much integrity you own. I'm sure you'll do a very good job at it and, in turn, you'll be an inspiration to young wiki users. Wow. Sounds like a treat. -- I'm Titanium  chat  13:06, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm! You expect some one else to clean the garbage that you have left. I don't mind doing that, because thats what I regularly do at Wikipedia. But, I haven't watched the show and I don't have time to spare for this article. I just wanted to say one thing. This kind of garbage sprouting is one of the main reasons why Wikimedia Foundation faces a lot of legal problems. Its better the article has nothing rather than copyrighted stuff. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 13:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yippie, we have a volunteer. Normally people who criticize others for copyright issues never have the integrity to fix things if given the same situation. It's easy to points fingers than lending a hand. Mate you don't have to watch the show. Just rephrase those summaries. Thanks for helping Wikipedia mate. What a good sport you are! Cmon don't waste any of that busy time of yours. Off you go to rephrase. Good Luck. -- I'm Titanium  chat  13:45, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. I have executed the better option that I mentioned. By the way, this is not called as 'lending a hand', this is called 'Removing garbage'. If you want to know what 'lending a hand' means, visit Help desk or reference desk or some collaborations of the week/month. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 14:56, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What happened to the integrity part? I thought you had it in you more than me. LOL. Don't chicken out. As i said, Pointing fingers is easier than actually being any good to the articles. If any of you editors are genuinely concerned about the article, don't waste your time tagging warnings but start rephrasing the copyvio content. You are wikipedia contributors, make your contributions useful rather than humiliating and scaring editors away. -- I'm Titanium  chat  14:57, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Editors who remove copyvio from articles exhibit integrity much more than those who put it. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 15:04, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Refer to the tags on the page. Its a vague case of close paragraphing but not copyvio.-- I'm Titanium  chat  15:08, 14 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * First keep vote is the accused copyvio editor
 * Second keep vote is of an anonymous editor, who has only that edit in Wikipedia. See Special:Contributions/117.225.137.5 I don't know who is he and from where he found this page!
 * Dwaipayan's vote is legitimate, but still it may be called a WP:CANVAS as it has been posted here (since Dwaipayan is an experienced editor, we should consider his vote as legit.)
 * I don't know about Abhishikt. But, again a talk page message to vote here
 * I have not seen how many talk page messages he has posted, I am adding a Not a ballot here!--Tito Dutta (talk) 16:49, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * OMG. I encouraged them to take part not to vote. I wanted opinions not votes. Please stop blowing it out of proportion. The tag has been there for too long and i encouraged editors to share opinions. OMG. Like seriously.
 * I wote this :Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bigg Boss 6 regarding an issue with which your opinion may be of value. Thanks It doesn't show any where that i haev told them to vote. I wanted ppl to take part in the discussion. Wow. You really made me sound like a villian there. Unbeleievable. --  I'm Titanium  chat  17:11, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, so you were only asking those editors to give their opinions here. What was your criteria for selecting which editors to ask? —Psychonaut (talk) 10:32, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course people who had a history with Bigg Boss and know what it is. People who are at least indian. people who have a sound idea of what Bigg Boss actually is. Is this criteria enough for you? -- I'm Titanium  chat  12:35, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem is that you did not consistently apply this criteria when selecting which editors to approach. That is, whether or not it was your intention, people may assume that rather than asking every editor with a good knowledge of Bigg Boss, you asked only those editors who met the criteria and whom you believed would contribute an opinion in your favour. —Psychonaut (talk) 14:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Dwaipayanc and Abhishikt voted much before the talk page messages. So, I don't think its WP:CANVAS -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 16:57, 14 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Note: Further information about the copyvio may be found at Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents and on the article's talk page -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 17:00, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Archived to Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive772. LegoKontribsTalkM 05:28, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to the main article Bigg Boss. The main article is much better. The annual articles are mostly fancruft/listcruft.  --John Nagle (talk) 20:50, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's copyvio? delete the copyvio content. Why merge it? what kinda stupid knockhead would consider that? It's a major indian show. Major. Major. -- I'm Titanium  chat  09:47, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Imtitanium, watch your words. This is a personal attack and could lead to you being blocked. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 12:48, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You guys have already proved to me how useless to wikipedia i am. I choose not to talk to you. I have not addressed you to begin with. Please stop accusing me. I'm done with the whole discussion. Delete it, merge it, do whatever with it. I dont care anymore. I've got important things to worry about.--  I'm Titanium  chat  14:30, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
