Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Because
 * 1) Tags of lack of references and wikipedia clean up have been repeatedly deleted.
 * 2) It contains a lot of Original research like
 * ...of late since end 2009,serial goes biased,for instance, the May 2010 episodes are more on Wealth overtaking Values. With bad pronunciations by the Hero's son Tapu, Tapu is being glorified all times, perhaps, he's linked to producers.


 * ...He(Bhide) ensures that he saves every single paise whenever he can, which shows that he understands the importance of money, this habit of his is laughed by many. In one of the episodes it becomes a reason for quarrel between Daya Gada and Madhavi Bhide.


 * ...she(sonu) is a very sweet child who is not only well mannered but cultured as well. She is an intelligent and systematic girl. She goes to school on time, attends all her classes, comes back home, plays for a little while, does her homework, prepares her bag for the next day, prays to God and goes to sleep.(too much detail,they never showed a 'busy' sonu.)
 * ...He(sodhi) owns a transport business and also runs a Mandap Decorators service as an ancillary business to support his wife.[...]He hates 'Tapu' for breaking the glass of his window unlimited number of times.
 * She(Mrs. Roshan) is a sweetheart and very co-operative. She innocently commits a mistake but never realizes it which turns into a funny light moment. Both Sodhi and Roshan always have communication issues because of the language barrier.

Thereare alot more.I'll need an article List of Original researches in article of TMKUC.


 * 1) and how can you think that an article of 78 sections and sub-sections and approx. 35 thousand letters could have ONLY THREE references!

 * Keep. This is a show broadcast on national TV which has had substantial press coverage - see the Google News search results linked above. The issues raised by the nominator can be fixed by editing (which would probably involve removing most of the content) and, if tags continue to be removed wrongly, blocking or (semi-)protection. They don't require us to delete an article on a notable subject. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:01, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - notable TV show. I have now stubbed the article and sourced the sourcable parts. If you find it full of OR and lengthy descriptions, be bold and remove the unsourced parts. If the IP deletes tags appeal for semi protection. No need to delete the article when there are alternatives.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:07, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete - RTS ratio of 0.66 is a red flag. RussianReversal (talk) 22:24, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - RTS ratio 1.00. Borderline keep.RussianReversal (talk) 22:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Could you please restate that in English? Phil Bridger (talk) 22:36, 12 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Popular TV program.  Arjun  codename024 19:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Nationally-broadcast television series which apparently won several awards, sourced to reliable sources independent of the subject. If IP disturbance continues, the article can be semi-protected. Thanks to whoever facilitated the clean-up. Firsfron of Ronchester  02:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Remove unsourced statements, no need to delete the article. Edgepedia (talk) 14:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable Hindi series whose coverage meets WP:GNG . While sympathyzing with the nominator's concerns about tags being removed, that calls for protection, not deletion.  Same for his concerns with article style and tone.  These can be addressed with actual editing.  While tags make the concerns someone else's problem, surmountable issues are never cause for deletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:10, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * KEEP I've done almost 90% typing of the original article, and suddenly some people decided to vandalise it with vulgar text and now you've also deleted the authentic things wrote in that article by me. this is not right. how am i supposed to 'show references'? its a tv show, the only reference is watch it on TV and see what happens. how can i quote some book or website for it? when I write "xyz thing happened in episode number 212" then i'm writing it after watching the show the previous day. how can i quote or show reference for such thing? going by the same analogy you've should also delete every movie plot description in every movie page, because people tell in detail the entire plot including the climax and end. how do they know it? ofcourse after watching the movie itself. now look at the article, its only one paragraph left and everything else is deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrunaltPatel (talk • contribs) 10:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
