Who shot Ethan Pierce?

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Yes, Wikipedia should cover Shorty Street but not in an unsourced original-researchish way like this. The claim of a website created by the boadcaster specific to the storyline adds a hint of real-world context, but alas, the site doesn't exist at the stated URI. dramatic (talk) 08:57, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: the site is valid, but was wiki-coded as an internal link. Appears to be along the lines of Who shot J.R.? and Who Shot Mr. Burns? XLerate (talk) 09:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I was aware of that, but the URI given was still dead when I tried it manually. I see that it is working today. dramatic (talk) 19:10, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I assume this is the between-season cliff-hanger which is common with Shortland St and other shows. I can't really see how this is notable and the article comes across a little too detailed ( and unrefed). Perhaps add it back if the whole country starts talking about it but SS isn't that popular. - SimonLyall (talk) 10:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. The TVNZ website is working now, but it's not independent so doesn't affect notability anyway. Ryan Paddy (talk) 15:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, NZ Herald article specifically on the subject, satisfies WP:NOTE. The show is in the top 1% of NZ articles, according to page hits. XLerate (talk) 22:36, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Rewrite, subject is notable, but article is horribly written. Minfo (talk) 05:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
