Heidi moment

Per WP:NEO. Not a common term. ...William 12:24, 15 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Strong keep, it's an interesting and informative article. Czolgolz (talk) 12:30, 15 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Please see WP:INTERESTING and WP:USEFUL. Pishcal (talk) 15:05, 15 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Yet another attempt to back-door trivia into Heidi Game without actually putting it on there; outside of the two notable NHL examples, the rest are just hidden viewer whining under the guise of trivia for events of interest to only a few, contractual issues, or pure technical difficulties that no network could help.

 * Redirect to Heidi Game. The individual incidents are trivia; all that's needed is a sentence in the other article to the effect that "cutting off a sports event that's running overtime to show the next program gets called a Heidi moment now." –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 16:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect - Per William's nomination statement and Mr. Schimpf/Nate's rationale.  There is nothing to differentiate the term "Heidi moment" from "Heidi game," and there is insufficient noteworthy content to justify a stand-alone article for the former.  This appears to be an excuse to generate a trivia list.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 05:11, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep appears to be a list worthy of inclusion and it appears there are some sources to support it. Merge is an option, but it's a big enough list with enough detail and potential to grow that I think we'd be better off keeping it as a separate list rather than including it in another article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:25, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Interesting subject, sufficient references support the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:00, 26 December 2014 (UTC) Further, there are more sources here and googling the phrase "heidi moment" (site:sports.yahoo.com OR site:espn.go.com OR site:sportingnews.com OR site:sportingnews.com OR site:foxnews.com/sports OR site:usatoday.com/sports OR site:cbssports.com OR site:bbc.com/sport OR site:dailyamerican.com OR site:si.com OR site:sportspromedia.com OR site:sportseventsmagazine.com OR site:skysports.com OR site:goal.com OR site:football365.com OR site:football.co.uk OR site:boxingnews24.com OR site:worldboxingnews.net OR site:boxingscene.com) will yield more sources. An in-depth source here. Further, my sense is that the term Heidi game refers to a specific game in which the coverage was interrupted by the movie Heidi, while the term Heidi moment refers to other games with the cutaway coverage problem, which is why I think keeping the article is more accurate than a redirect, although I suppose my second preference is redirect (last preference is deletion).--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:05, 26 December 2014 (UTC)--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:38, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge Never heard of the term, but it seems to be sourced enough it could be merged into the main Heidi Game article, albeit without each individual instance of something like that happening. Jgera5 (talk) 21:50, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The main Heidi Game article already had that information excised from the article as WP:TRIVIA, so it would be re-creating a problem we thought was nipped in the bud the first time before this fake term was created.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
