List of television shows set in Connecticut
More listcruft. -- howcheng  [ talk &#149; contribs &#149; web ] 00:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Talk about pointless. Devotchka 00:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This reverses cause and effect: articles about each of these shows would of course note their location, but a page doing the opposite about fictional stories (ie, tv shows) is nn. Dxco 00:21, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as listcruft. -- NS LE  ( Commu nicate! ) < Contribs > 01:10, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Pointless, might as well make a list of every single thing that meets a certain criteria in that case. Spring Rubber 02:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, this is unformatted and unsourced, but there are some pretty important TV shows on that list. -- Jacqui ★ 04:17, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Connecticut? Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 05:43, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Isn't this what categories are for? Trollderella 05:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if the list were properly annotated, say with information about cities or landmarks in which the shows were filmed, then a list would be better than a category -- but as it stands, we don't have that information, and as the article itself is unsourced, we may have a hard time finding it. Jacqui  ★ 05:24, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Please take another look at the page. Kappa 05:27, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh! It's been significantly helped since I was there last. Okay, I was wrong. It can work as an annotated list. :) Jacqui  ★ 15:51, 29 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, shows Connecticut's influence in popular culture. Kappa 06:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sure a comment in the Connecticut article would serve equally well, and would probably be seen by more people. For every person searching for this article, a thousand will be searching for "Connecticut". Oh, and delete. Denni &#9775; 00:40, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not useful. And even if it was useful, better served by a category than a static list (maintainability).  "List of shows that start with A" would have some important shows on it too, but isn't appropriate either.  --Clay Collier 06:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment:See also List of television shows set in Detroit, List of fiction set in Chicago, List of television shows set in Washington, D.C., List of television shows set in Los Angeles, List of celebrities who have never been in my kitchen &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 07:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * "Fancy a novel about Chicago or Buffalo, let us say, or Nashville, Tennessee! There are just three big cities in the United States that are 'story cities'—New York, of course, New Orleans, and, best of the lot, San Francisco." --O. Henry, "A Municipal Report." On the testimony of these lists, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles have some claim to being legitimate television "story cities," while Detroit and the entire state of Connecticut do not. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The list is beginning to prove your POV otherwise -- and will continue to do so, if it is allowed to stay and be expanded. Oh, and I forgot to vote -- keep and expand, or, if I am outvoted, I'd rather see a merge with Connecticut than a loss of the information. Jacqui  ★ 15:54, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * And may I add another "see also": List of American television series fictionally sited in real places. Hartford, CT is mentioned. HollyAm 21:51, 29 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete listcruft per all above - Just zis Guy, you know? 08:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft Stu 12:21, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I have not looked at the article yet. If it lists twenty shows or more, I will vote keep on the basis of its having established that this is a vaguely important category of television shows. Dpbsmith (talk) 14:58, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Delete per Dxco. Not a significant kind of television show. Does not demonstrate that Connecticut has any special status in popular culture. Just an artificially constructed criterion invented for the purpose of creating a list. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Gawd. Marskell 15:20, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment article is an orphan.Geni 15:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Four shows. Obviously not a state popular enough to be notable. --Optichan 15:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dxco. -- Pamri &bull; Talk 15:49, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dxco. &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 04:11, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. No longer an orphan. Linked to from Connecticut; member of Category:Connecticut and Category:Television lists. Makes a lot of sense in the context of these other lists. This is the sort of thing lists are for. Fg2 04:35, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful list.  I suspect that more then 4 shows have been set in the state so the list should grow over time.  Vegaswikian 05:17, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Of regional interest, certainly verifiable.   Un  focused  17:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per unfocused. Newyorktimescrossword 19:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is the type of list that a wiki may be useful in maintaining - not so large as to be unwieldy but potentially large enough to be interesting.  It is also the type of information that, if someone wanted to find the information from scratch, would be difficult to assemble. -- DS1953 talk 19:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, useless and arbitrary list. --Aquillion 19:13, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless list, especially since, as far as I know, not one of the shows listed was actually filmed in Connecticut nor has any real connection to Connecticut except as an essentially random setting picked by the shows' producers. --Calton | Talk 00:34, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Connecticut. It can be split off when it gets big enough. -LtNOWIS 00:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Connecticut. Very interesting trivia, especially to non-locals. Short enough to easily merge. w.ross 13:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
