List of Doctor Who logos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Whilst Doctor Who is notable, a list of logos isn't needed, per Stand-alone lists. In addition, many of the logos are fair use, and so probably shouldn't be used here, as their use should be minimal. Joseph2302 19:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Just an FYI - we were discussing getting rid of the content. But I think deletion is a good decision for this article. Dresken (talk) 20:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The actual logos are public domain in the US. The screenshots of the last few aren't, but they can be replaced.In any case, this shouldn't be a redlink, since we cover this subject (in Doctor Who, as mentioned on the talk page) and this would be the usual title for it.  So if this isn't kept separate, it should redirect there, without prejudice to being spun out again if the section in the main article becomes too large. —Cryptic 21:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Doctor Who. That section seems to cover absolutely everything this list needs to be, including depicting the logos in question. Fieari (talk) 00:32, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Fieari.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:15, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I declined a CSD on this because I am convinced there are enough sources out there to write a genuinely comprehensive article about the logo history (including who designed each one, why, and what popular reception was etc etc), however it would more or less be a complete rewrite from scratch) and we don't need this version of the article hanging about to do that. Nobody is going to type "List of Doctor Who logos" into Google, they will go for the main article first, so I wouldn't even go for a redirect. After this is deleted, anyone can come along and write a FL-quality article at any time. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  16:20, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * "List of"? I suppose not.  But typing "Doctor Who" logos is more plausible.  That gets me this list as the fifth hit.  The main article isn't in the first five pages; I stopped looking after that. —Cryptic 21:08, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect - the google results have convinced me alone. From my understanding, hopefully it should pick up the redirect and then list main article. Cheers, Dresken (talk) 21:22, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect: Fieari is spot on. These logos can and should be acknowledged, but certainly not on an individual article. D ARTH B OTTO talk•cont 23:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Fieari - already covered there in better detail. Artw (talk) 18:14, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - there is absolutely no content to take from here that isn't already included in the main article. Coverage of these logos within the main article suffices. Furthermore, if someone wants to search "list of Doctor Who logos", they would do so on Google or Google Images, not Wikipedia, so a redirect is unnecessary, as they would just to Wikipedia's article on Doctor Who first and go from there. I see no logical reason to make this a redirect. —Mythdon 09:10, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - No one' is ever going to search for "List of Doctor Who logos" ... Doctor Who logos maybe but not the other title, That aside this isn't notable at all and IMHO it's better off deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davey2010 (talk • contribs) 23:29, September 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ehh, knowing how Wikipedia works, I type "List of _______" all the time into the searchbox, and very frequently get a result from doing so. And besides, redirects are WP:CHEAP. Fieari (talk) 02:33, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry I should've been more clearer - What I was trying to say was editors probably wouldn't search "List of DW logos" but instead would search "Doctor Who logos" or something similar (It makes more sense in my head than it does here lol). – Davey 2010 Talk 03:16, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
