Super Bowl halftime counterprogramming

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

List of indiscriminate information; difficult to maintain. Extensive POV judgment calls: What constitutes counter-programming and what constitutes filler? A More Perfect Onion (talk) 20:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Though it does not appear indiscriminate to me, I do believe this is mainly original research. This is simply the author's opinion of what shows were counter programs. Just because two programs occur at the same time does not mean one is a counterprogram. Scapler (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This list is completely subjective. It does not represent a full world view on what or why these articles would be considered counterprogramming. If it explained why each commercial was a counterprogram, then I miiiight be open to the concept of keeping this article. Riotrocket8676 (talk) 03:07, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and improve or possibly merge to Counterprogramming or Super Bowl halftime shows or expand and rename to an article about Super Bowl counterprogramming in general (not just half-time counterprogramming). There is plenty of reliable source coverage and everything here is verifiable: See, e.g. "Halftime at the Super Bowl usually deserves a penalty flag" in The Dallas Morning News (you have to log in with a library card to see the second half of the article which covers half-time counterprogramming), "If you don't want to watch Super Bowl" in the Decatur, Illinois Herald & Review, and "Bowls abound this weekend with peeks, puppies and geeks" in the Washington Times. This is clearly a notable phenomenon, what this list needs is context, not deletion. (And is it really "original research" to note that things like the "Butt Bowl", the "Lingerie Bowl" and the "Puppy Bowl" are intended as counterprogramming the Super Bowl, and not just programs that happen to "occur at the same time"?)

 * Keep notable phenomenon. I'll add some refs.  Someday this will be a wonderful article with prose, but for now it will be a list, I guess. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 23:45, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom - Too subjective and likely impossible to make comprehensive.  Majorclanger (talk) 11:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep... but only if merged. Not strong enough (even with refs) to stand alone as its own article, but well-sourced items could be added to one of the pages mentioned above as examples of super bowl halftime show alternatives. SpikeJones (talk) 16:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I moved it. It is about Super Bowl counterprogramming in general, after all. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 18:10, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Improve per other reasons listed above. -- MISTER ALCOHOL  TC 03:19, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge into Super Bowl halftime shows. NoseNuggets (talk) 9:34 AM US EST Jan 4 2009
 * Keep--This seems to be a discriminate list of clear-cut parodies of the Super Bowl that run at the same time. Seems to be notable.  RJaguar3 |  u  |  t ' 16:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, with mixed feelings - for one thing it could be original research, but there's been plenty of press coverage of television shows supposedly attempting to lure viewers away from football on that very Sunday. As long as this article cites plenty of reliable sources accurately it's ok. Let's not turn this into a dumping ground of what every single network other than the Super Bowl channel showed on Super Bowl Sunday. --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 04:43, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep'--It's a pretty handy list. It looks like the author spent a lot of time verifying the programs on the list to make sure it meets Wikipedia's quality standards.  TheBigE1980  (talk)  05:54, 18 January 2009
 * Keep but it could do with a better title, I had to check the article to findout what it was about. BUC (talk) 17:42, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Scapler. Spiesr (talk) 01:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems like a notable phenomena. Artw (talk) 08:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
