Chronology of Rome (TV series)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

There's nothing reliable to verify the link between each episode and real life history. It's entirely original research by fans of the show. Moreover, there's nothing to verify notability of this timeline. Certainly the series is notable. But there is already a series article. Wikipedia is not a place for WP:CONTENTFORKs where we take a topic and present it from whatever POV the editor decides is interesting to them. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:48, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary OR, and intermixing a real-life historical timeline with a TV show plot seems especially repugnant. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - so many problems! It's a list with a trivial intersection of topics, it contains synthesis and original research, the effect of the list is to present an essay, the list starts significantly prior to the first episode of the show, and the claims of what period of time the episodes cover isn't sourced and isn't capable of being sourced (which makes the list unsourceable). Also Wikipedia is not a fansite. (I note that none of the Keep arguments in the previous AfD made reference to any aspect of Wikipedia policy, and were largely along the lines of "Rome is notable so this is notable" or "I like it", neither of which are valid reasons to keep.) - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:58, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete An encyclopedia article is to give facts on a single topic, not to compare two things side by side -- as fun and interesting as that may be to do. Steve Dufour (talk) 09:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
