The opening credits of The Cosby Show
Original research. FuriousFreddy 16:37, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into the show's article if considered useful. --Tone 16:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * "Original research" is never considered useful. --FuriousFreddy 17:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. What makes it original research? -- Rory 0 96 20:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a completely unsourced report of the different opening credit sequences from The Cosby Show. It's essentially an original paper on the subject. I suppose if it was thoroughly rewritten, it might look better, but as of present, it looks very bad. On top of that, it's quite a bit crufty (do we really need a detailed explanation of the opening credits of a TV show for each season? Didn't we just go through this with the studio logos thing?) There are asome passages of encyclopedic information present in it, but the info needs a lot of trimming if it is to be merged. --FuriousFreddy 01:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * (weak) Keep or Merge: I don't see deletion of this content as helpful to the project in this case. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 11:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * See above. --FuriousFreddy 01:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely does not need its own article. Should be merged with The Cosby Show which is short enough that this won't be a problem. Needs to be trimmed and wikified as well. Merge. Thatcher131 22:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. Eivind 00:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge. It does not need its own article.  Would be better suited as part of The Cosby Show main article. Tachyon01 01:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Articles for deletion/The Opening Credits of America's Funniest Home Videos. We do not need a play-by-play breakdown of the opening credit sequence of any show. -- Saberwyn 03:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge, useful content but does not need its own article. - SimonP 05:49, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. OK trivia but doesn't need its own article. 23skidoo 16:01, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, don't merge. Wikipedia users should be able to know what were in the Cosby show credits even if they can't see the shows, but not every every reader of the Cosby show article will want or need to read about them. Kappa 11:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
