List of guests on The Dick Cavett Show

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As with List of guests on the Ellen Degeneres Show, it's pure listcruft. An indiscriminate list of talk show guests. The list is not notable in and of itself, has no sources, and is unlikely to ever be accurately maintained. Realkyhick 02:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment so what maintenance do you expect would be needed? Might take some work to get the list complete, but once done, it'd be done.  FrozenPurpleCube 03:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. List of loosely-associated people, appearing on an episode of a talk show is a non-notable characteristic to connect people by. Although being a guest was probably a notable event for Jerome Irving Rodale. Crazysuit 04:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and reorder by appearance date We have episode lists for situation comedies such as Sienfeld. We need the equivalent for variety and interview shows. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: No, we don't. Besides, this was a talk show, not a variety show. Realkyhick 06:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Huh? We don't have episode lists for other shows like Seinfeld? "Talk show" "interview show" all are synonyms. Read about it in Wikipedia. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 21:01, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Duh. I missed the word "interview." Eyes are getting tired. But in case you didn't gues, I'm not a big fan of episode lists for shows, particularly individual articles about each and every episode. Certainly some particular episodes of top shows are notable, especially first and last episodes of a series... well, I'm drifting off topic here. Realkyhick 23:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I believe I created this article for little reason other than to move the list from the article for The Dick Cavett Show (which already looked like hell at the time -- and still does). If the list isn't going to be better organized/maintained, I won't mind seeing it go. It would make a bit sense to have a list of episodes, but that's another can of worms.

 * Delete Dick Cavett would turn over in his grave if he saw this one... especially if he was deceased. 65.207.127.12 22:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, needless list. J I P  | Talk 10:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
