A lot of this is original research. We are told there is 'statistical evidence' but there is no link to anywhere to suggest that there is statistical evidence. I have tried to find sources online but failed for some research on this that I could verify it with, alas there is none. Also the paragraph on trying to deduce which balls exist based on patterns could also be original reserach.

I have taken the information presented (balls that already appear) and merged it to the main article. As such, there is no real information to keep/improve to make this article any better. Hydrostatics 11:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm glad someone has finally decided to merge the data into the main article. I never personally saw a reason for this information to be held within its own article, and Hydrostatics is correct in that there is Original Research in there not easily backed up by external sources. Any necessary information has been added to the main article and this no longer serves a purpose. Bungle44 13:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Much too "fine-grained" information for an encyclopedia article, verges on being a reference guide for playing.  Golden balls: anywhere between £10 and £75,000.  Brass balls: priceless. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No source for this information, so I presume that someone has actually sat and watched all episodes and noted the values in the balls! If so, this is OR from a really sad person. Emeraude 19:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure Much of the article is my own research based on compiling the ball values each show in a spreadsheet, and which I intend to post on my website in a couple of weeks (when this series of the show ends) along with the accompanying information including the statistical analysis. Yes, I'm a really sad person ;)  I've locally saved a copy of the last version of the page so I don't need to redo anything when I post it myself.  One thing to note is that updating the replacement merged article is that the table isn't easy to update (see today's addition) unless there is some Wikipedia feature I am unaware of.

 * Comment I understand your view will be bias towards keeping it and that you will obviously defend against deletion arguements, but surely even if you did input the maxiumum amount of information which would be relavant (however sad that may be), it still would not warrant its own article. The size of the article, at most, would easily suffice as a reasonably sized section within the main article. Bungle44 10:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
