Seems to just be a list of random, fancrufty, unencyclopedic information. T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 00:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Umm, yeah, no. trivia, indiscriminate information, unencyclopedic, non-notable, etc. Resolute 01:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge it with the list of winnings page. I'm sure there are references for this out there, as I can't imagine this coming out of the blue. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there aren't. I'll change my mind if you can produce a reliable source for each case. Abductive (talk) 02:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have added sources for the UK one. I suspect that the others will be easily sourceable if searches are carried out in the relevant languages - this is a top rated show across the world and big losses always gets media coverage.. TerriersFan (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as Wikipedia is not a directory. (Why no US section?) Tavix | Talk  17:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge the top prize losers into the article that corresponds to the international variant (i.e. merge all the Japanese top-prize losers into the article of the Japanese version of Millionaire), and that's my final answer.
 * Merge, per above. &mdash;Terrence and Phillip 06:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

BTW, Tavix, there is no US section because nobody on the American version of the show has answered the last question incorrectly.--Tomballguy (talk) 18:05, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Chris
 * Wow, would have never guessed that. Thanks. Tavix | Talk  17:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me Tavix, but did you know Japanese has the most number of contestants who get the final question wrong, and that happen at least once every year, so this is the place to show this interesting fact, so please keep it. It's very interesting. Thanks-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.102.132.243 (talk)
