The result was   merge to Reality television. Sources to establish the notability of this concept don't seem to be strong enough to warrant a separate article. Therefore, the relevant content within this article should be merged, with a redirect left behind so as to not break the numerous incoming links. ‑Scottywong | spill the beans _ 16:50, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Immunity (reality television)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. Facet of many reality programs, and while the specifics of this rule are important in varying ways for each individual program, the concept of immunity in a reality television environment is not independently notable.

Any details not already included in the individual reality television shows should be migrated to those articles. AldezD (talk) 19:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's only relevant in the context of a few shows, and belongs on the show's pages, not its own page. Ducknish (talk) 21:01, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. It's a Fox! (What did I break) 22:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page was created because the disambiguation page immunity was repeatedly receiving incoming links intended for the concept of reality television immunity. If this article does not exist, those links will continue to be made, but will have no target to point to, leading to the unacceptable situation of a large number of permanent disambiguation links. However, I would be fine with merging this content into Reality television, or another article covering common narrative devices like this which are used in reality television competitions. If there is a consensus against keeping this individual article, I therefore intend to merge and redirect accordingly, to prevent the accumulation of broken links and disambiguation links. bd2412  T 01:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree that the content from the Immunity_(reality_television) page be merged into the Reality television page. Guy1890 (talk) 01:57, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I think it would be fine to put it in Reality television, if that article had a logical place for it, or if the article had other sections about the general rules and strategies of the genre. However as I read the article, it does not. SchreiberBike (talk) 23:12, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps an article on those general rules and strategies is what is called for. There are other features common to many reality shows, such as one-on-one contests where the two worst performers in a group task must compete, with the loser of that contest to be eliminated. bd2412  T 00:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The general rules are not notable outside of the concept of reality television. Strategies would fall mostly under WP:OR. AldezD (talk) 18:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Whether you care for them or not, the fact is that the use of reality show rules and strategies are frequently reported in reliable sources -, , , - and therefore no OR is needed.  bd2412  T 02:44, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose deletion without a solution to the inbound link problems. There are over 250 inbound links for the article.  To simply delete the article without consideration of the effects is inappropriate. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:08, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed, the large number of incoming links, many from articles on shows not mentioned in the current article, suggests room for substantial expansion in terms of where and how immunity is used as a reality television device. Whether this is best accomplished in this article or in another, there is no lack of material to be added. bd2412  T 03:54, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This topic should at best be included in the parent article of Reality television, with links to this article redirected there. Immunity as a gameplay element is not notable enough to warrant an entirely separate article. AldezD (talk) 20:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You are arguing the ultimate issue. That is what this discussion will decide. bd2412  T 03:55, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Reality television is a huge cultural issue worldwide. List of reality television programs goes on further than I care to count. It makes sense to me that various aspects of reality TV should receive encyclopedic attention. SchreiberBike (talk) 03:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * SMerge into Reality television. I cannot imagine this article going beyond being a laundry list for how Immunity works in different reality TV shows. However, the concept of Immunity is not simply a dict-def better left to wiktionary, and instead is better explained on WP. The reality TV article is the best place to achieve both goals. – sgeureka t•c 15:50, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge into Reality television leaving a redirect behind. J04n(talk page) 10:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. The four sources cited by BD2412 above are only two, neither of which meets WP:RS: one is from a Mormon newspaper, and the other three are from a TV-gossip site.  Mini  apolis  13:42, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
