Connections between 24 and La Femme Nikita

Delete - there do not appear to be any sources attesting to the notability of the alleged connections or similarities between the two series. Actors with any degree of success work on a number of projects and it's not unusual or notable for various television series to share elements of style or theme. In the absence of independent reliable sources attesting to the similarity of the two series or that, as asserted in the opening paragraph, any similarities are "even more pronounced than normal" (whatever the "normal" degree of similarity between series may be) the article is a solid mass of original research based in the opinion of whatever editor happens to decide that an element of one show constitutes a "similarity" to another. Finally, this information is trivia which would likely not stand as part of the main articles on either 24 or La Femme Nikita. A trivia section spun into its own article is still trivia.

 * Delete Some of this information "may" qualify as reasonable information to include on certain pages (IOW, maybe, just maybe some of the people who have the shows in common might mention them both in one sentence), but there is no need for a compilation. And some of the information is just a stretch.  Use of Black SUVs?  A countdown clock?  I doubt either is unique to these two shows. (In fact, I know the US Secret Service uses black SUVs...)  This sort of thing may be appropriate for a fan-wiki, but in terms of enyclopedic content?  I'd at least need an article in a major source connecting the two.

 * Delete. Seems like WP:OR to me. Stephen Turner (Talk) 16:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research based on primary sources. Yes, two TV programs worked on by the same team are going to be somewhat similar.  Yes, those similarities are even interesting.  It could make a good article if written with reference to reliable secondary sources, but I'm in no way convinced that any such sources that go beyond triviality exist.

 * Delete. Trivia and WP:OR do not a good combination make.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 16:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree, this is pure WP:OR and trivia. It's like the similarities between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. (Did you know that their last names both had seven letters? Neither did I!) Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Actions • Words))) 00:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is original research all the way. Slavlin 04:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This does not belong into encyclopedia. Pavel Vozenilek 02:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
