Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doctor Who New Series 3

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the nomination was Keep. This is a perfectly good article containing verifiable information such as the list of writers who have been retained (the BBC-sanctioned publication, Doctor Who Magazine, confirmed this and filming starts in a few weeks), the identity of the new regular companion, and so on. Other claims in the article are easily sourced to the BBC (eg William Shakespeare). The lack of references should be repaired by normal editing--the information is all out there, put out by the BBC, for the most part, on its own website. --Tony Sidaway 12:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Who New Series 3
Full of unreferenced, unverifiable claims. We don't need a separate article on a future series of a television program when each episode will eventually have it's own article. All information on individual series is already sufficiently held in List of Doctor Who serials. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. —  Fire Fox  19:23, 04 July '06
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Wikipedia is not a TV guide. --IslaySolomon 19:51, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete! Delete! Delete!. Fan of the show, enemy of the cruft. WP:NOT in so many, many ways. ➨  ЯEDVERS  20:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Ex-ter-min-ate... er, delete. BuckRose 22:11, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not necessary as the new series is already covered sufficiently at Doctor Who and related articles. Plus, as noted, individual episodes will have their own articles in due course. (Additional: I also support redirecting to List of Doctor Who serials as suggested below.) 23skidoo 22:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

 * "Delete!" is actually the catchphrase of the cybermen. Autons are mute.  &#9786; Uncle G 11:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary page covered elsewhere. --Litefoot 12:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials, for reasons already given by others. GracieLizzie 13:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials, where the same information is already covered. 128.40.182.53 12:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Unreferenced statements aren't enough reason to delete, particularly as many of those flagged can be referenced. However, there's no need for the article as a whole and it's mostly crystal balling. Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials. &mdash;Wh o uk (talk) 13:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials per all the above. Percy Snoodle 15:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or delete since even what we write isnt taken into account. Abdelkweli 16:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this silly waste of space. Honestly, if any article has so many citation issues as this one, we should get really worried.--NP Chilla 19:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials, for reasons already adequately explained by others... --Brian Olsen 23:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Exterminate this page, or Upgrade it to WikiProject Doctor Who naming standards. -- Chuq 04:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
