Last of the Summer Wine (series 30)

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

Disputed PROD. Nothing is here that is not already in the main article, Last of the Summer Wine. All that is known about the 30th series thus far is that it is being filmed and there will be a new cast member join. Other than that, anything else, including the number and title of potential episodes and the potential airdate, can only be speculation. Per WP:CRYSTAL, blank (or nearly blank) placeholder pages are unnecessary. Suggest this be deleted for now and recreated next year when something is actually known about the series.

 * Comment: For the sake of full disclosure, I removed all information from the article which is currently speculation not supported by sources, including the speculated air date, writer, and producer/director. Redfarmer (talk) 15:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources that shouldn't be there have been removed no reason to delete. BountyHunter2008 (talk) 16:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There were never any sources to begin with...what are you talking about? What I removed was speculation on potential air date and the writer and producer/director, all of which were unsourced and there are no sources. If the removal of that speculation leaves the page almost completely blank, then yes, there is a reason to delete. Redfarmer (talk) 16:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry my mistake Redfarmer. Its late where I am. Keep it anyway it seems to be fine to me. BountyHunter2008 (talk) 16:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "It seems fine" does not address the issue that it's just a placeholder page and placeholder pages are not necessary per WP:CRYSTAL. Redfarmer (talk) 16:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect Yes, the current lack of reliable sources would make this article a placeholder for many months to come, but I have found redirects to work better than deletion in such cases to avoid recreation of the article before its time. – sgeureka t•c 17:42, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
