List of Countdown octochamps

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT. A list of people who have done well on a game show. "Countdown octochamps" is a Non-notable topic considering how many there have been, and a Google search for "Countdown octochamps" returns a lot of Wikipedia mirrors. If any of these contestants are worth mentioning, that should be done in Countdown (game show), not a seperate article. Saikokira 02:28, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. Fails WP:NOT.-- Bryson { Talk } { Edits } 03:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. &mdash; Deckiller 03:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to a section at the end of Countdown (game show). Possibly non-UK Wikipedians don't realise just how pervasive "Countdown" is in UK culture; an alarming number of people will have an interest in this. It's (obviously) sourceable, and given their rarity it's never going to get unmanageably long (the only reason the list looks so big is because "Countdown" has run so long (over 4000 hours - it would take more than six months to play back every episode 24/7). -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  12:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate list of information, or merge if the UK crowd really wants this gigantic collection of information in the main Countdown article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Instead of putting this into Countdown (game show), why not Merge and Redirect to List of Countdown champions?  Eliminator JR Talk  12:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect should probably go the other way - Octochamp is a prerequisite to be a contender for Champion, not the other way round. Confusing, I know. -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  16:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Pedantically, it isn't a prerequisite, although most are. Stifle (talk) 17:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A list of champions is reasonably encyclopedic, this is not. Stifle (talk) 17:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The List of Countdown champions is adequate, there is no need to keep this long, non-notable list. GDonato (talk) 19:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
