Monday Night Football: Series By Series History
The article is not encyclopedic. Of course there is and should be a MNF article, but I think that lists of sports statistics would be more appropriate to an almanac, or NFL.com, or Wikisource, than an encyclopedia. Consider that such raw data is endless. How will you feel one day when clicking Random article typically brings up an "article" like this? DavidConrad 06:22, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I can appreciate the work that went into this, but I don't think it is encylopedic enough. Zoop 06:30, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep We list every single episode on literally dozens of TV shows and many even have separate articles for each episode.  This seems more useful than many other TV related articles that appear on Wikipedia.  DS1953 06:34, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * With a TV show, though, there is at least the possibility to have a synopsis of the episode. Will there ever be anything here but a list of box scores? Do you envision that, one day, someone will summarize the 1977 Browns-Patriots game? --DavidConrad 08:22, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? There are equivalent projects for other sports at places like retrosheet.org .  Keep.  Colin Kimbrell 15:42, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, wikipedia is not paper. We can always hope that one day, someone will summarize the 1977 Browns-Patriots game. Kappa 12:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that is unlikely but, as ever, I enjoy being proved wrong on such matters. I say Delete unless significantly cleaned up. I've hardly ever seen as many sections of just one line in one article. --Celestianpower hab 13:09, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Speedy keep-Just end the discussion and keep it now, BTW 65.43.145.185
 * Keep I guess. MNF is a notable entertainment forum and somebody might actually find this interesting and encyclopedic. :) &mdash; RJH 17:47, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep a cleaned-up version could be useful. Rkevins82 18:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Shatter into individual articles about the different series, and let our football historians go to work on them in those smaller pieces. JDoorjam 19:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Come on! Will you please stop insulting my articles? You should want to know stuff like this at any time, I put a lot of work into this, and you should thank me for it. 08:18, 14 August 2005 65.43.145.185
 * I won't thank you, but I will vote to delete. Mike H (Talking is hot) 01:25, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, duh, wikipedia is not paper. The article could be tidied into table format though. :-) have fun! Kim Bruning 01:27, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Could be usefull for sports enthusiests who take watch MNF religously Guerberj 20:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
