QI (A series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page was nominated for deletion a couple of years ago (see here), but it was part of a bundled deletion including an FA, so the page was kept.

The article contains 26 references. 4 of these are sources for notes in the article (e.g. about information said in an episode that is untrue). The other 22 just verify the broadcast date of each episode. The lack of sources shows this article fails WP:N. It is pure listcruft and fancruft and it does not belong in Wikipedia (WP:IINFO). It describes every detail of all twelve episodes of the A series, which is far, far more than should be covered. Any relevant information about this series is already covered at List of QI episodes or QI — and even if there was more to say on the topic, more content could be added to either of those articles.

It would, however, be a shame to lose such a comprehensive page which reflects many editors' hard work. I have started copying and rephrasing some of this stuff over at the QI Wikia (see ) and I will continue this work, especially if it looks like this article will be deleted. I have copied the content, with rephrasing and additions of my own, over to QI Wikia. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 19:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC) Added update in the last paragraph — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 18:22, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
