Storylines of Shortland Street

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of births, marriages, and deaths in Coronation Street (and subsequently four other similar articles) I proposed removing the list of births, marriages and deaths from this New Zealand soap article too. However it leaves me thinking that there would not be much left of value either, leaving only Cliffhangers article (which I'm also contemplating nominating) and storyline articles for every year from inception in 1992 up until 2013. I can't find any other examples of lists of storylines anywhere on Wikipedia, apart from a few deleted ones (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of storylines in Emmerdale. In summary the whole article aligns with WP:PLOT and WP:OR and is best served on a fansite. Ajf773 (talk) 20:24, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree that Wikipedia is not the right place for this material. Carefully compiled but the OR nature of it is underlined by the article being entirely unreferenced.  Schwede 66  18:51, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Mostly fails our WP:CLN and WP:AOAL criteria for lists, categories, and navigation templates. To closing administrator, might you consider allowing the text of this content to be e-mailed on request at WP:REFUND? This might be useful content on Wikia/Fandom, etc., but we generally don't need a blow-by-blow (pun?) plot highlight synopsis of a New Zealand soap opera.
