Jeopardy! broadcast history

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

This article contains non-encyclopedic information, random snippets of trivia (including winning scores on premiere episodes) and reads like a book report. Sottolacqua (talk) 14:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Huge trivia dump, any relevant information should already be summarized in the Jeopardy! article. This is not at all like the Pyramid franchise, which doesn't summarize nearly as easily due to its myriad (which is almost an anagram of pyramid) versions.

 * Keep. Though it needs cleanup, it's really just a split of the show's history from the already lengthy main Jeopardy! article. At the very least merge the section on the original 1964-1975 show into Jeopardy! (and perhaps reorganize this into a "History" section), as there appears to be little to no information about the original show in the main article, unlike the various 1970's versions of the show.

 * Keep - At worst, the relevant, sourced content should be merged into the main Jeopardy! article. But given the length of that article, this separate article is appropriate (although, as BryanG says, it ought to be cleaned up, but that is no reason to delete).

 * Delete - Reads very much like a fansite. Hosts, announcers and networks are already listed in the main article's infobox. No need to reference background/history in a separate article as it's already discussed in the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sottolacqua (talk • contribs) 13:22, 1 May 2009
 * Note to closing admin: this user is the nominator, see . Note to Sottolacqua: it's generally considered bad form to add bolded !votes to an AfD you began, it's implicit that you want the article deleted as the nominator. Additional comments are fine, of course. BryanG (talk) 20:16, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and reverse merge (that is, split out) content from the main Jeopardy! article to this one. The Jeopardy! article is alredy tagged as being too long, and there's no reason that a long-running show like Jeopardy! shouldn't have such an article, which is very akin to the "Current TV show season N+1" genre of articles.  No reason it shouldn't be cleaned up and/or sourced. Jclemens (talk) 05:44, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
