List of clichés on television
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, such as a list of supposedly clichéd plot elements and archetypes. Furthermore, the contention that each member of this list has become clichéd is POV, and in this case, consists entirely of original research. NatusRoma | Talk 20:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or transfer to wikibooks or wikisource. Very interesting list which should be available somewhere, if not on Wikipedia.Hektor 20:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete (along with similar lists). Clearly, these lists are original research and POV.  When does a plot element become cliche?  Apparently as soon as it's on  Bewitched . Phiwum 05:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. (No other option makes sense.)  (or, if we're going to keep it, add List of clichés on radio, List of clichés in movies (as some are independent of genre), and last, but not least, List of clichés on Wikipedia &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 00:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep article could prove useful with a little work and consensus. Cliche's are notable. --The_stuart 04:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all cliches.  Grue   14:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Almost nothing in this list is actually a cliché. Most of the content refers to archetypes or stereotypes, but these are not necessarily cliché. Furthermore, this list is completely unreferenced–it's 100% original research. NatusRoma | Talk 16:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, add references. --Ton e  16:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be a bad faith nomination as cliches are generally notable. - CNichols 19:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
