The Crossroads of Destiny


Textbook case of a source source claiming false authority. This article's source, TV.com, gets its information from a mysterious and unnamed person at Nickelodeon. There's no way to verify it. Listed here because of a contested PROD. --Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom unless other independent reliable source mentions this. And the talk page argument comparing this to Watergate Scandal is ridiculous. Watergate information initially all came from a leak, to be sure, but it has since then been mentioned in many, many sources. The information in this article, however, appears not to have been.

 * Hence the quote on every article that is talking about a future product, " This article or section contains information about a scheduled future television show or episode(s). It may contain non-definitive information based on commercials, a website or interviews. The information may still change as the date of broadcast approaches." Tv.com has been quite reliable in the past, with many correct predictions of future episodes. It may change though, because, all of these types of articles are based upon speculation that may or may not be true. The people who read the article, take the risk of having the information in the article being false, by viewing the notice at the top. Likewise, I don't think this article should be deleted. --Black Stone157 16:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You're still missing the point. The source of this is not official in any way, shape, or form. We don't even know who this "source" at Nickelodeon is. Adding the future tv template doesn't render Verifiability void.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I say we definitely keep it with some sort of notice at the top. If/when the episode is confirmed, it would be annoying to go back and make it all over again. We should keep the article, but putting it on the list of episodes is a whole other discussion. -Dylan0513 03:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I get it now. I have no further comments against the deletion of this page. The only information it really provided was, the title of the episode; which seemingly seemed to come out of nowhere. And, I see Kavadi's point, how Tv.com is the only site, with any claims to the name of the site, and its airdate. --Black Stone157 03:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:NOT a crystal ball. Delete. Interrobamf 03:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * it's a shame that we can't just make barebone pages in preparation of a page, but if everyone were to do that it would get kind of crazy. i say we delete it now and when the episode comes out, or we have reliable info, ask an admin to undelete it. -Zappernapper 17:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
