Dr who and harry potter

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A proposed deletion which has been contested. This is an essay on coincidences in casting and the like between the Harry Potter films and the long-running science fiction drama series Doctor Who. As both of them make extensive use of British actors and locations, there are quite a few coincidences... --Tony Sidaway 13:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wikipedia is not the place for such an essay. Tim (Xevious) (talk) 13:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:OR essay. No place for it here. Alberon (talk) 14:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not OR as there's nothing new here, but not really anything exciting, either. And the title is all wrong both in terms of capitalization and in using "Dr. Who" but that's just me being anal. 23skidoo (talk) 15:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete, no way this piece of Original Research is of interest to either two of those subjects above mere trivia. TheLetterM (talk) 20:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * 'delete Unless evidence of reliable sources making this connection can be found. Serious OR issues. JoshuaZ (talk) 21:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: while arguably interesting, the casting coincidences are not enough to warrant an article. Looks too much like WP:OR. Bilby (talk) 04:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Arbitrary comparison without sources to justify such a match-up. WP:SYNTH problems. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
