Darkover (TV series)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Much like Articles for deletion/Gorilla and the Bird, this one got a brief burst of sourcing at the initial announcement, but literally nothing afterward. If literally nothing happened other than the initial announcement, then there's nothing to write about, and therefore no notability. Prod was contested with a suggestion to merge, but there's just too little verifiable content here worth merging. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:59, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep not seeing any actual policy grounds for deletion here. Merge seems entirely viable if users other than TPH want to go that way but this is not “Articles for Mergeletion”. Nominative is currently at ANI for spamming Prod/AfD with junk entries and this appears to be an example of such. Artw (talk) 03:48, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:NSUSTAINED and WP:V not good enough for you? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:49, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The sources cover a period of 4 years, not counting the tweet which would bring it to 6? Not seeing a V issue hear whatsoever given the Variety article, suspect you just threw that one in for luck. Artw (talk) 04:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * You know what? Nobody has any time for this. I added what was worthwhile to the main article, please go ahead and Close this and Redirect over to there. It's what's should have been done in the first place. Artw (talk) 05:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Please do not merge or copy during the AfD per the fifth/last point of WP:Guide to deletion (how-to guide, shortcut WP:EDITATAFD). I also contacted you directly regarding WP:Copying within Wikipedia (guideline, shortcut WP:PATT). Flatscan (talk) 04:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Darkover series per Artw's additions and comments, though I would suggest "keep" if it wasn't for them. Merko (talk) 12:28, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect as recommended above. If it never went into production, it wouldnt meet recommendations in WP:NTV, which were to follow the steps of WP:NFILM to eliminate the hundreds of projects that get stuck in development hell or cancelled. -2pou (talk) 15:03, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Darkover series. The actual added sources are all just pretty routine "announcement" type blurbs, which I honestly don't feel actually passes the WP:GNG.  And, even if they do, the amount of information that is possible to write about this never-produced series is so brief that it still would not be appropriate to split off to a separate article, per WP:NOPAGE.  Regardless of the reasoning, having the couple of sentences on the main Darkover series article, which Artw has already done, and then Redirecting there is the appropriate amount of coverage.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment apologies on my previous bad advice - AfD should have been WITHDRAWN, not closed, and the redirect put in. Since it wasn't and we are going through the motions my vote remains Redirect, though this is effectively a merge as I've copied everythong worthwhile over. Artw (talk) 14:49, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Darkover series, since the information that's interesting: they tried to make a TV show, didn't happen, is now there. Skynxnex (talk) 21:23, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Rorshacma and Skynxnex.  starship .paint  (exalt) 07:37, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
