List of notable guests appearing on The Daily Show (2nd nomination)

 * — (View AfD)

was previously agreed to merge and redirect, but has not been done in 2 months, so it should just be scrapped Booshakla 07:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect cross-referenced this list to the other. The only name I could find unmerged was Michael Bloomberg, mayor of NYC. Despite a brief websearch, I can't find sources for when his appearance was, though this indicates he was on the show at some time. The list also sorts people by profession, and as such, I think it organizes the information in a way that I think is a lot more helpful than the other list, but I'll let it rest with the previous AfD.--Kchase T 08:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Cut-and-paste merge and redirect to List of The Daily Show guests. It's an editorial decision on how to organize/display the list of guests (whether by time, profession, or both). We definitely don't need two articles, so just cut-and-paste it onto the end of the other one and I have no doubt someone will clean it up fairly soon. --- RockMFR 16:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, merge never happened and this is just another way of displaying information already at List of The Daily Show guests (I too only noticed Bloomberg missing). A redirect isn't necessary (though could be done I suppose) and a cut-and-paste/wait for someone to clean it up seems a rather bad idea.  If nobody bothered to merge this in two months it is likely nobody will bother to clean up the cut-and-paste job and at that point we are just littering what is a halfway decent list (formatting-wise at least; I'm not sure I agree with the necessity of it from a content standpoint) at List of The Daily Show guests.--Isotope23 19:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This sort of list is beyond the scope of an encyclopedia. Incidentally, I think the other list ought to be deleted also. Nick Graves 22:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom I agree with Nick Graves. Davidpdx 09:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm confused here, how do you propose the merge take place? Just a copy/paste?  List of The Daily Show guests is already 72 KB so it really doesn't need anymore content and, at this point, the standard WP practice is to split the article...yet we're here (albiet 2nd time around) to make it bigger.  I think the list is encyclopedic and can be made verifiable if episode date appearances were added.  I missed the original nomination but it only had 7 plus nominator.
