 * Delete - indiscriminate, unsourced, unreferenced, requires POV. Otto4711 03:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unverifiable, POV, crufty. JPG-GR 03:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Several of the listed shows were commercial or critical failures (or both), but the article is still OR.  Edeans 04:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely unsourced, and thus, unverifiable. Natalie 04:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as above Bwithh 04:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is no inclusion criteria, it's totally POV- I could say that any short-run show I didn't personally like was a flop. SkierRMH 06:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As anything that doesn't make it anywhere in the world could possibly be judged a "flop" (which isn't exactly an encyclopaedic term) this list risks becoming an indiscriminate collection of information as well as all of the other concerns raised above. A show which fails can do so for any number of reasons beyond its worth or content, anyway - Family Guy was technically a flop in its third season, for example.

 * Delete or Clean-up It's a good idea if done right (see List of U.S. box office bombs), and I would like somebody to improve it by doing things like sourcing it and coming up with some criteria. TJ Spyke 07:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV, unsourced, arguably incomplete. Realkyhick
 * Delete. It's a POV call to refer to any of these shows as "flops" since that's a relative term. For example, Wonderfalls was cancelled after 4 episodes but subsequently became a best-selling DVD and was syndicated around the world. Firefly was cancelled quickly and went on to become a movie. This sort of list cannot escape the POV stigma. There is already a list of series cancelled after one episode which basically services the same purpose and does so in a less POV manner. 23skidoo 13:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete POV, arbitrary, OR list.-- danntm T C 16:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - inherenly POV with no clear defined criteria for inclusion -- Whpq 16:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, not salvageable.- Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 22:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete too subjective. AdorableRuffian 23:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
