The Amazing Race trivia
Unencylopedic article about trivia from the reality show, The Amazing Race. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Delete Pepsidrinka 22:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge whatever is worthwhile into The Amazing Race; Delete the rest. --Aaron 23:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge anything of value into The Amazing Race and its respective season articles; then redirect to The Amazing Race if necessary by licensing or delete if not. Otherwise, delete. --Kinu 23:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Most of these details were originally on The Amazing Race or one of its related season-based articles.  However, they were moved onto this page so that more detailed trivia could be included, since the main article was climbing over the 36 kb threshold. --Madchester 00:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. Your choices: Merge It or Purge It. In 'Merge It', the most significant (or least silly) trivial bits not from the original articles are added to the appropriate articles, and the least interesting trivia in those sections are Philiminated Eliminated. In 'Purge It', the entire article under discussion is simply wiped out, and editors can deal with ranking the trivia from scratch." --Calton | Talk 02:33, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page was created more or less as a parallel to the Survivor Trivia page, which lists a LOT of trivial info, but is nonetheless interesting, and worth reading.  If those little details about "best Fast Forward lead" were encyclopedic enough to stay on the main article for so long, then they're worthy of staying here in order to keep the size of the main article down.  The same goes for any other similar info. --CrazyLegsKC 05:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ditto above. --HansTAR 05:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into The Amazing Race. Elfguy 14:05, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but what makes the Survivor Trivia page any different from this one that it doesn't merit deletion but this one does? --HansTAR 22:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well frankly, it is because I found this page and not the Survivor trivia page. Pending this AfD, if this AfD results in a "keep", then I'll accept that as consensus that the Survivor page should be kept as well. On the other hand, I will follow through with an AfD on that page if this results in a "delete." Pepsidrinka 22:00, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Breaking large pages into separate pages should be encouraged, not discouraged. Turnstep 16:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page was created to reduce the size of The Amazing Race, based on the Survivor Trivia precedent. Radagast 03:32, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Radagast. Royal Blue 05:09, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
