List of continuity errors and anachronisms in M*A*S*H

 * — (View AfD)

None notable, poorly sourced and could easily be classed as cruft Computerjoe 's talk 14:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete big ol' chunk of OR, right down to microtrivia like one scene where Hawkeye does not change his rubber gloves. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep it's verifiable, and probably that means this is not OR. This is not cruft, this content obviously important for a good number of Wikipedia contributors. 195.216.176.150 17:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a trivia collection. Agent 86 17:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, cruft. Recury 18:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a trivia collection. I loved the show, but its called, suspension of belief and creative license.--Gay Cdn  (talk) (Contr.) 19:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Are we going to have List of violations of physics in Road Runner next? Tevildo 20:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Normally stuff like this should be junked, but M*A*S*H is one of the most popular TV series of all time, and depicts the otherwise often-forgotten Korean War, so knowing what parts of the depiction were real and what were artistic license is valuable and notable. Much of the material involves comparison against historical facts, and is thus not OR.  Wasted Time R 21:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That last statement sounds like the article verges on violating WP:OR, especially when the article seems to be constructed by reference to a trivia website and an army pamphlet (the only cited "sources" in the article). Agent 86 21:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Beat me to it; yes, comparing things in a TV show to historical fact is a synthesis of published material and is considered original research. Recury 21:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The content cannot rise above the level of trivia, regardless of the show's popularity. TSO1D 21:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Deltabeignet 03:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete far to trivial, even for such a great show.-- danntm T C 03:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, fancruft. The Mob Rules 11:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research, trivial. GassyGuy 15:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
