List of television characters who are single fathers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete per WP:FIVE which says that Wikipedia is NOT a trivia collection and this article is a collection of trivia about fiction (with the interjection of more trivial details from TV_Single_Dads) Corpx 05:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. This article doesn't really have anything to say, and I don't think it ever will. Iknowyourider (t c) 05:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is NOT a trivia collection of facts. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 06:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete it's not even a very good list to start with.
 * Delete. Is there a list of television characters who are single mothers as well, because if so that should be deleted too. This kind of trivia detail is right down the WP:NOT alley and is a bit too much for Wikipedia. -- Charlene 12:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as it does not pass WP:NOT -- su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 12:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I created it based on a compromise suggestion by User:GT at Articles_for_deletion/TV_Single_Dads and I only created it late last night. We should give it at least a week or so for other editors to come along and improve it.  Most articles take at least a few days to improve and it is is not really fair to delete an article that has had no chance for other editors to improve.  --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 15:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment, here is the diff with the suggestion that I followed: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TV_Single_Dads&diff=50531787&oldid=50531701 -- Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 15:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Listcruft, and there already is an article on the issue (TV Single Dads) Lurker (talk · contribs) 15:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment If we already have TV Single Dads, why in the world would we need this as well? Since TV Single Dads survived AFD, just delete this, and make all changes to the original article -- su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 16:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually it hasnt, and I dont think it will either :) Corpx 16:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Greg Grahame 16:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 *  Delete  Strong Keep ...not because it's a "dumb list" as some suggest, but because (as Sumnjim points out, there's already an article called "TV Single Dads". Hopefully, Sumnjim's observation isn't going to trigger a July 11 nomination  I spoke too soon.  It appears to be a coincidence (not being sarcastic here) that these two articles were created independently of each other, and nominated for deletion independently of each other on the same day.  Keep because single fathers who are primary custodians are a non-traditional family arrangement that exist, and only more recently being portrayed on television. Mandsford 00:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. BTW, single dads have been portrayed on TV for decades.  See The courtship of Eddie's father and My Three Sons, for goodness sake.  -- Ssilvers 04:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the article is a poor attempt to recreate (the not wonderful) TV Single Dads. Contrary to the article, the first divorced tv father well predated 1990; The Odd Couple's Felix was divorced with two kids back in the 1970s - lack of full custody not negating fatherhood, and other than Ssilvers' citations, there was Flipper, Eight is Enough, and even The Brady Bunch which afterall is "a story of a man named Brady, busy with three boys of his own..."

 * Delete per above. Wryspy 16:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. Weak list of trivial info.--Bryson 18:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
