The result was delete. I am guided by the precedent set at Articles for deletion/Deal or No Deal, Series 1 (UK); it indeed matches my own findings here. Personal utility is not grounds for inclusion. Also, it appears that the material has been moved offsite, so all needs are met. Mackensen (talk) 20:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Deal or No Deal, Series 2 (UK)


Similar to the other Deal or No Deal lists I've put up: fancruft at best. Lists of gameshow episodes aren't needed here. Below is series 3, but I did something wrong? Not sure what's going on, hopefully someone can fix it. It should be the 2nd nomination for that. RobJ1981 05:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminant collection of information. (And I've fixed the second nomination for you.) MER-C 05:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Movementarian (Talk) 06:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 * DeleteUnsourced original research going into painfully too much detail. It is appropriate to have one article for a game show, and inappropriate to write up what color clothing everyone wore in every episode. The Price is Right has been on 50 years, and only has one article for each reincarnation of the show (different format, different host).Edison 18:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongly Keep. This article includes records from the series - records which would make both the main Deal or No Deal UK article and the UK game show records article, far too full. This is also a very useful resource that a lot of people, myself included, use and update regularly. Cipher (Yell) 18:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't think we should differentiate between game shows and sitcoms and reality shows, etc. A season episode guide for a very notable show should certainly be kept. --- RockMFR 19:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Strongly Keep - it's a very useful source of information, which many people find very useful. I respect your "rules", but the pages are causing no harm by their presence. L1v3rp00l 18:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article has existed since March with no objections, and is the only list of its kind on the internet, many of which finding it a useful source. Does not go into trivial details, simply lists very brief summaries of each game, and considering it covers 219 episodes is fairly short an article. BillyH 19:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment I would suggest you tone down the innapropriate use of language there. A simple 'delete' would do the trick. wakey1512 18:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment as in Series 1. Having an article existing for several months without objection isn't in itself a reason to keep it BillyH. Mallocks 10:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep A lot of fans of Deal Or No Deal appreciate the statistical aspects of the show as its a game of mathematical chance and that is part of the appeal of the show. It is important to have a public record of the statistics of each show freely available on the Internet. Rico7 19.33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cipher, this article can be a useful resource for people. bbx 08:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep As per to what I said in Series 3, this resource is far from 'crud' and is a healthy resource for not just fans of the show, but for people who may have missed a certain episode, or for reference. Keep per WP:TVE. wakey1512 18:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and above. We're not a TV guide, and an episode list for a game show is just... insane. -- Ned Scott 05:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment For those who wish to preserve these pages outside of Wikipedia, I have placed versions on http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Deal_or_No_Deal_UK - I have no interest in maintaining a full wiki for these, but someone might Elcondor 21:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
