 * Delete. I can't see an individual episode of Top Gear being notable enough for an article, besides this is written poorly and wanders off topic. The special can be certainly be mentioned in other articles about the series, hopefully accompanied by references. --DanielRigal (talk) 11:35, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No need for an article on an individual episode. Truthsort (talk) 16:09, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment This programme has several specials, many of which have articles (Top Gear: Botswana Special, Top Gear: Vietnam Special, etc).  Lugnuts  (talk) 17:43, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Tricky one. As it stands it looks like a delete. But in 72 hours it will probably be a viable topic, so deletion at this stage would seem a bit pointless. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Agreed with Lugnuts and Tigerboy1966. The article was created prematurely but isn't doing any harm and will hopefully be viable shortly. I get the impression the two people saying "Delete" are unaware of the other articles, or even Top Gear Race to the North which is based on a single feature. However, it is noticeable that the Middle East Special does not have its own article. Halsteadk (talk) 18:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: This isn't an ordinary TopGear episode, it is one of the Christmas specials.  So far, all of the other Christmas specials have an article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.205.144 (talk) 21:41, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have edited it significantly. I may be able to tweak it further tommorow.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.205.144 (talk) 22:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep, but rewrite: The other specials have pages about them, and so this one should have as well. It's dismally written, though, and needs a major overhaul. Torak (talk) 12:39, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and rewrite. Most of the other specials have articles. silly  billypiggy ''¡SIGN NOW OR ELSE! 20:49, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rewrite. Agree with Lugnuts and others with similar opinions. If other Specials have their pages (except Middle East Special), I don't see any problem then. However, it should be rewritten/revamped. trunks_ishida (talk) 11:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs significant levels of rewriting to bring it up to a viable standard, but the existence of a specific page for the special episode is consistent with other special episodes of the show.   --Tailkinker (talk) 04:06, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. As mentioned before needs rewrite, I agree with Tailkinker "the existence of a specific page for the special episode is consistent with other special episodes of the show"IDionz (talk) 01:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. a) It's a special. b) It was as long in duration as many full length movies.  c) You'll never get enough momentum for deletion.  End of discussion. MrCrackers (talk) 04:25, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
