Enemies and former friends of Opie and Anthony

 * Enemies and former friends of Opie and Anthony was nominated for deletion on 2006-08-04. The result of the discussion was "keep".  For the prior discussion, see Articles for deletion/Enemies and former friends of Opie and Anthony.

Re-listing article for deletion. Other articles related to the Opie & Anthony show such as have gone through Afd with a concensus of delete. While again I do feel the show is notable, a list of "on-air enemies" for a radio is unneccesary list/fancruft. Wildthing61476 11:47, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If anything, it should be a section in Opie and Anthony. PJM 11:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Once again, no one source is cited as Fancruft, nor has there been any effort made to make it better by those who will undoubtedly call it as such. Please keep in mind this has already survived one deletion attempt. Payneos 15:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and per WP:HOLE. ergot 19:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reason that Friends of O&A got deleted.--XMBRIAN 21:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Burn down and salt the earth. This is not and cannot be an encyclopedic article. It's just a list of anecdotes. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a fan community website. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 01:25, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and Pablo-flores Bwithh 02:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nom and Pablo-flores, WP:NOT indiscriminate collection of information (which this is) --JS talk 05:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Joining Pablo-flores in going all Carthage on this article...delete this shit. &mdash;ExplorerCDT 22:07, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep It may seem trivial to some, but O&A take their relationships with rivals and former friends very seriously, and they often require so much explanation and detail that would take too much space on O&A's wiki page. O&A themselves have stated that their show is like a soap opera with relationships budding, growing, souring, falling apart, and so on. This page helps explain and inform these relationships to new listeners unfamiliar with O&A's show, old listeners who have lost track of these relationships (many still don't know why Dice is no longer a friend of the show because his falling-out is a very recent event), and other inquisitive minds. Considering O&A's recent return to terrestrial radio and the fact that their show is being syndicated to new cities just about every month now, there are more and more people just discovering their show who will want to know the background of the show, including these relationships. &mdash;GLENN THE TOOL 22:27, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete This is an encylopedia, not a diary of who people aren't friends with today. 161.185.1.100 02:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Move anything encyclopedic to Opie and Anthony and then delete. Blank Verse 02:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Legit fork of already-lengthy article. Punching out. --Aaron 21:39, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. An encyclopedia is defined as a book or set of books containing articles on various topics, usually in alphabetical arrangement, covering ALL branches of knowledge or, less commonly, ALL aspects of one subject. These aspects of the Opie and Anthony show which you are dismissing as indiscriminate, trivial, etc., are an important branch of the show as it helps define the very essence of what Opie and Anthony are.  --Pure Waves 01:50, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Aren't these discussions supposed to be closed after 5 days?--XMBRIAN 03:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong delete per Pablo flores. There is no encyclopedic merit to an article like this. 205.157.110.11 09:58, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources, a list of various people of various ties to the show isn't an article. Arbusto 21:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is an embarrassment to 2 professional radio personalities. Articles of this nature confuse fans. It blurs entertainment into reality. Remember the Whoopi Goldberg "conflict". Contrived conflict = press = exposure = ratings. This article has no place in Wikipedia.Bodaman 04:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Remember, should it be deleted, it will re-bloat an already overstuffed Opie & Anthony main page, which is why this offshoot came to fruition in the first place. It has citation and sources, and describes various important aspects of the show itself. Payneos 18:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. That's why nobody's voting to merge.  You can't delete an article and merge its contents; history has to be preserved for GFDL reasons, so merged articles get turned into redirects rather than deleted.  ergot 14:38, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per nominator. — Encephalon 15:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's been 10 days already. Twice the normal time.--XMBRIAN 21:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
