Wheel 2000

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This article is about a non-notable game show spin-off. Its contents are nothing more than cruft, trivia, original research, and unverifiable information. The gameplay rules, in their entirety, cannot be reliably sourced in any way. —Seth Allen (discussion/contributions), Saturday, November 2, 2013, 20:14 U.T.C.
 * Keep Major-network TV shows are generally notable, and this aired on both CBS and GSN, and had international adaptations. It wasn't very long lived, so there isn't bound to be too much information out there, but the article does have two reliable sources. Most of the rules are described in Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows. I fail to see how listing the stunts is any different than giving a rundown of the various rules currently in place on Wheel of Fortune proper — 1/2 Car tags, Express, Mystery, etc. Certainly not fancruft, more like a plot summary.

 * Wheel 2000, if it is notable at all, does not merit a separate article from the main Wheel of Fortune article. None of the show's international adaptations are verifiable against a reliable source, and neither is the 12-city tour. So I'd say that all that Wheel 2000 needs in Wikipedia is a subsection in Wheel of Fortune (U.S. game show). —Seth Allen (discussion/contributions), Saturday, November 2, 2013, 22:51 U.T.C.
 * This source verifies the 12 city tour. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:57, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - Major network TV show indeed. This isn't some special tour or week-long tournament, it's an entirely separate show -- a spinoff for kids. For precedent, see the wide array of Jeopardy articles linked to at Template:Jeopardy!, including special tournaments and themed shows. Granted, those examples don't make sources magically appear for this one but I did find a few below --Rhododendrites (talk) 16:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Animation's New Toon - a 2 page article in the LA Times about the virtual co-host Lucky/technology of the show.
 * Instant Cartoon: Just Add Actor... - CNN Money article about Lucy and a couple other shows
 * Last (and least), the web is chock full of these sorts of sites with rules, images, videos, etc. They're not pretty, but perhaps game show fans have one or two of these that have proven reliable (I don't know): Game Show Central's Wheel of Fortune Timeline 1997
