The Simpsons Executive Producers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Just seems to be an indiscriminate list with no reason as to why being the executive producer is notable. There is a list of writers because there have been more than 100 of them, there is a list of directors because there are more than 30 of them, but in this case, there have only been a handful of EPs, so there's really not a lot of stuff that could be sourced for it's own page and the list that is located at The Simpsons is more than enough. It doesn't help that it contains tonnes of OR and no sources at all. Scorpion0422 02:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - This info can just be moved to the main Simpsons article.   jj137  ( Talk ) 02:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If it is moved to the main Simpsons article, which is called a merge, the article history needs to be retained, so the article could not be deleted, that would violate the GFDL. - Mgm|(talk) 17:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: I, personally, think the directors and writers lists should be deleted too, or just merged into the main show article. Anyhow, these guys aren't really notable. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Directors and writers are responsible for creating the stories and bringing them to the screen. Without them the voice actors have no work. Exactly how are they not notable? - Mgm|(talk) 17:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Without them, there would be other producers. They are not notable, meaning "Sam Simon", "Jeff Martin", "Al Jean" amongst the others, are not notable, however the "Executive Producer" of the Simpsons, probably is. The names should just be included in the main article, but this extra list, is unnecessary. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:49, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge (quite selectively) into The Simpsons. • 97198  talk  09:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it's too long for a merge. Because these are the producers of perhaps the most successful cartoon series of all time, the information is relevant as the people who produced the show may be part of the reason for its success.

 * There are no sources whatsoever. Everything with sources is already included in the main article. This is just unsourced, OR, POVish fluff. -- Scorpion0422 18:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's hardly too long to merge. Just pick out the few that actually are worth mentioning, and stick 'em in. • 97198  talk  06:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing of any real importance in this article isn't already included in the main one, so there isn't anything of importance to merge. Gran2 19:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
