Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Three Act Tragedy, Agatha Christie's Poirot


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete & redirect. Given that none of these three articles cite any sources and the targets of any redirects already contain plot summaries, merging doesn't appear necessary. I will create redirects to the individual story pages. &mdash; Scientizzle 16:52, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Three Act Tragedy, Agatha Christie's Poirot

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unnecessary article. Topic can and is sufficiently covered by Three Act Tragedy, Agatha Christie's Poirot and other articles. Another editor redirected this article, however the original author reverted the redirect. Since the redirect has been rejected, I am taking this to AfD. My view is that this is not needed or plausible as a redirect, so I would prefer Delete. Safiel (talk) 21:53, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Also nominating The Clocks, Agatha Christie's Poirot under same general criteria. Safiel (talk) 21:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Also nominating Halloween Party, Agatha Christie's Poirot under the same general criteria. Safiel (talk) 22:04, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge While the original author may have contested the redirect, community process can establish consensus to enforce such. Hence, I recommend useful content be merged to the respective articles mentioned by the nom, which includes redirecting the source article. Jclemens (talk) 01:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete all three. Encyclopedic information about the TV adaptations is covered sufficiently in the articles about the novels (indeed, more than sufficiently in the case of The Clocks), and these articles are basically nothing more than extended plot summaries, running afoul of WP:NOTPLOT. I agree with the nominator that the articles' titles are implausible as redirects. Deor (talk) 13:54, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect - The subject itself is not notable. Any information that editors of the main articles find pertinent from these adaptions should be added and these articles redirected to those articles (that even confused me, hope it makes sense).  Ol Yeller  Talktome 14:56, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is no reason to have separate articles on the book and TV episode - the TC episode has not exceeded the book in terms of notability. I see no reason to merge, as the article contains only a summary of the plot, which is present in Three Act Tragedy. ItsZippy (talk) 19:02, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
