Rural purge
Non-notable, already mentioned in the relevant shows' articles. Gazpacho 05:53, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good stub for a term in common use to describe this event, which is still remembered after about forty years.  If it's mentioned in the shows' articles, all the more reason to have an article linking all the shows describing the event in more detail. Good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or move to Wikitionary I don't see the stub growing much since the term was applied to an event. Vegaswikian 05:33, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable, and useful because it's linked from various shows. Kappa 00:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable and void of content. --Mecanismo 20:49, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable event, and it appears that this term is actually used to describe it. Important in the history of U.S. television.  Quale 22:13, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep As already stated, this is an important milestone in TV history -- the moment when the number one network at the time (CBS) changed its programming philosophy, and in the process, ushered in a completely new era of "realistic" TV comedy (All in the Family, Maude, M*A*S*H, etc.). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.142.97 (talk) 20:05, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A very important moment in TV history. It was a shift from light-hearted, inoffensive television, to bolder, sometimes controversial television. This article should be retained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.202.206 (talk) 00:03, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
