 * Keep (2nd choice: merge). A reason hasn't even been provided for this article to be deleted.  (Or, for that matter, the other similar articles that have been nominated.)  At worst, it should be merged. --Roger McCoy 03:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete At best these types of articles are uninteresting collection of trivia; of course the versions are going to differ between media. At worst these articles bleed off the few facts notable enough to have a citation from the main articles. Merge any sourced differences to the main articles. SolidPlaid 03:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Unlike "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", there were several forgettable paperback M*A*S*H books that came out after the success of Richard Hooker's original, the film and the TV show.  Most of these, like M*A*S*H Goes to Maine, were out of print 30 years ago and are hard to find even in a used book store.  If this were just a list of differences between Elliott Gould and Alan Alda, I'd vote delete.  Mandsford 12:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research and very trivial. RobJ1981 13:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Comparative literature is the stuff of college level English classes. Its not original research, it is sourced from primary documents, thats a big difference. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 18:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Please see Articles for deletion/Harry Potter film/book differences (2nd nomination) for similar precedent. Chris! ct 20:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Roger, Mandsford, and Richard. Although I never watched MASH, I have looked for material of this nature for other items on Wikipedia (Charlies and the Chocolate Factory differences for example and so I reckon there is in interest in this material and a willingness to edit it.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 13:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Very trivial, can be widdled down and merged to main page(s). Most of the keep votes are basically "MASH is popular". Dannycali 08:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
