Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel awards and nominations

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnecessary and odd article that appears to be a break off from the main, except it combines awards from two series in one article. Buffy's already appear to be adequately covered in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series), though any missing ones could easily be merged into the prose. Ditto Angel's awards.

 * Merge back to Buffy article-- 500 different ones to choose from Mandsford (talk) 21:32, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge information back into the Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series) and Angel (TV series) articles, respectively Doc StrangeTelepathic Messages Strange Frequencies 22:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge And if possible, convert to prose so it's not such a huge visual object. -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 23:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Why convert to prose? Information like this is easier to digest in list form. And the (talk) 23:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Right. lists have the purpose. Trying to put something like this is prose will make it unreadable. Itcan be done, but it doesnt help. Encyclopedias have always had lists and tables--its a hallmark of their style. DGG (talk) 22:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * /shrug. If it's not a good idea, then don't do it. That's why I qualified it with "if possible". -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 23:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, Buffy article is too long. Everyking (talk) 07:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 15:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge back. It's not like it saved a lot of space, what with the summaries left in the main articles. Barring that, split into two subarticles. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge back, or barring that, at least split into two separate articles. No reason to have the awards for the two shows listed in one article, even though one was a spin-off of the other. It wouldn't make sense to have a single article listing the awards of All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude, Archie Bunker's Place, Gloria, 704 Hauser, Good Times, and Checking In all on one page, would it? Chuck (talk) 19:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and discuss the various ways of merging it on the proper place, which is not AfD. DGG (talk) 06:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

 * weak keep is a well-put together list although I'm not completely convinced that lists of awards that shows have received really is a great thing to include. However, given the length of the main article merger is not reasonable. JoshuaZ (talk) 19:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep...make it a drop down within the parent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sallicio (talk • contribs) 09:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but modify scope. The discussion above shows a clear consensus to retain the content in some form.  The comments that the content is too long to merge into existing articles are appropriate. However, the concern over creating articles based on associated, but discrete, media properties is equally valid.  May I suggest (that someone more familiar with the subjects than I take the lead in) converting this article  into something like a "List of awards and nominations for media properties created by Joss Whedon." (That title is dreadful, but at least two of his creations have been both cinema and television properties.) Focusing on the creator (as I think has been done in other situations) addresses most of the concerns raised, and would probably be more useful to encyclopedia users than a more limited multi-subject list would be.  I assume appropriate links would be placed in the article on Whedon and on the individual properties. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 21:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - editorial discussion, thus grossly inappropriate for AFD. Nominator needs to learn to edit articles rather than reach straight for AFD. Other nominations from this nominator need to be examined and possibly removed as wastes of AFD time - David Gerard (talk) 13:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series) and Angel (TV series) or expand and re-write for FLC. – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  17:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Everyking. --Oldak Quill 17:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
