The Amazing Race rules
Just some quotes from others AdamJacobMuller 04:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

full of BS

"speculation, repetition [and] simple hot air"

indiscriminate information


 * Merge into The Amazing Race joturner 04:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. Your choices: Purge It or Merge It . In 'Purge It', the entire article under discussion is simply wiped out. In 'Merge It', anything not in The Amazing Race is moved to the appropriate sections." And since I can't see anything here not in the main article, I say Purge It. --Calton | Talk 04:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Purge It I think one big issue is that all of the information is unabashed speculation, it has no place in the main article, am I supposed to vote on my own AFD? AdamJacobMuller 04:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as self-admitted original research. Everything is already covered in the main AR article anyways. Turnstep 04:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually the section on the top of the page was added by me as a disclaimer. I don't know how whoever created the page got those rules, i was only making an educated guess about it. AdamJacobMuller 05:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the clarification. Turnstep 14:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Already covered in the Amazing Race where people would tend to look for it anyway. Capitalistroadster 05:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant. psch  e  mp  |  talk  06:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per Joturner. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  09:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing even worth the merge. Radagast 12:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Capitalistroadster. Pepsidrinka 14:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per my comments on the talk page. Royal Blue   T / C  14:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Purge per Calton. Reyk 19:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Philiminate per Capitalistroadster. No merge, as all non-speculative information is there.  Also, not a reasonable search term to warrant a redirect. -- Kinu  t /c  21:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Purge It per my comments by, like, everyone including myself. --HansTAR 22:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. if there were a concrete set of rules for the Race (and it was released for the public) then you could have such an article, comme the sub-article for Settlers of Catan. Otherwise, the current sub-article really doesn't really expand on what is already presented in the main article. --Madchester 04:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge No need for a separate article for this. Jtrost (T | C | #) 14:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant and since there is no officially released list of rules, it is entirely self-research anyway. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 05:11, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. No need to merge; all information is already on main article. --CrazyLegsKC 12:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete All info is already in the regular amazing race article. And whatever isn't is wrong info (as seen on the discussion page of this article) And also, I believe on one season's website is a short list of 10 rules that are basic and probably already mentioned on the real article.-PURGE IT TeckWiz 22:11, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you have a link to this? I'm extremely interested in seeing it AdamJacobMuller 22:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. But like I said, I'm pretty sure it's already on the site. This one is on season 7's page: Amazing Race 7 Glossary It's very general. TeckWiz 21:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge or Keep. Interesting and useful. Stifle 00:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely interesting, in a way, but also redundant (already in the main article) and unverifiable, and most unencylopedic. I guess I was getting my hopes up of not seeing a single Keep, oh well, consensus is so much neater when it's unanimous :P AdamJacobMuller 01:50, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments

 * This should really be deleted. We've had 13/16 say delete it, 2/16 say merge it, and 1/16 say keep it. 13/16 is a pretty good consensus. Someone should delete this already, unless the Amazing Race discloses the official rules to the public, which they probably won't do anytime soon.
 * Oh, i'm pretty sure that it's going to be I just wish it would have been unanimous, since it seems like a no-brainer IMHO AdamJacobMuller 02:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ugh, please delete this now! It has become a pathetic page of fancruft and original research! --HansTAR 01:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
