Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doctor Who New Series 3 (2nd nomination)

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 redirect to List of Doctor Who serials. There appears to be a consensus for the redirect to eventually exist, and per my understanding of the GFDL, since information has been merged we should keep the history available. (ESkog)^(Talk) 04:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Who New Series 3[edit]

A DRV consensus overturned the previous keep closure for this article, but was unable to reach a concensus regarding what to do after overturning. There was substantial support for closing as a redirect, but also some support for outright deletion. Pursuant to Wikipedia:Undeletion policy, this is relisted for a new AfD debate. This is a procedural relisting, so I abstain. Xoloz 16:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete or and redirect to List of Doctor Who serials for the second time, per everybody here. We don't need a separate article on a future series of a television program when each episode will eventually have it's own article. All information on individual series is already sufficiently held in the List of Doctor Who serials, and there is no individual article on any of the other Doctor Who series'. — Fire Fox 16:13, 17 July '06
- Please note: A plain redirect may be interpreted to mean "keepish." If there is nothing to merge, a recomendation of "delete and redirect" is unambigious. - brenneman ^{L} 16:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Strong Delete "For the third new series of Doctor Who or the 2007 series no huge spoilers have been given out." Wikipedia is not: A crystal ball, a TV guide, an indiscriminate collection of information. --IslaySolomon 18:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete no content to be merged into List of Doctor Who serials. Eluchil404 21:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Redirect as above. JYolkowski // talk 22:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete or delete and redirect as above. Either way, no information to merge. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete and redirect or plain delete. I don't much care which way the deletion per se goes, but I don't see the merits in this being a separate article. Last year the information on the upcoming Doctor Who series was happily retained at List of Doctor Who serials until individual episode names were known, whereupon it was moved to the relevant episode. I see no reason why we can't do that again this year. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete and redirect nothing to merge. --Pboyd04 00:38, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Keep as a redirect to List of Doctor Who serials. Deletion is unnecessary; in any case I'm merging material so the license wouldn't permit delete and redirect. --Tony Sidaway 02:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Are you actually suggesting that all anyone would ever have to do to stop a deletion was to merge information into another article? That's absurd, and fails to understand GFDL. The articles contribtuions list could even simply be pasted into the talk page of the supposed "target." - brenneman ^{L} 03:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
  - Comment: Does it really matter if it remains as a redirect? Redirects are cheap, aren't they? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
    - Err? Was that question related to my comment? - brenneman ^{L} 08:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
      - Sorry, no — it was more a response to Tony's vote. I suppose I don't really understand the difference between "keep and redirect" and "delete and redirect" in this circumstance — is it just a question of keeping the history? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep as a redirect to List of Doctor Who serials. per reasons by Tony Sidaway. Hardvice 04:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Previous seasons don't have their own articles, so why should this one? 23skidoo 14:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete, no redirect No mergeable material, no incoming links, not a search term. ~ trialsanderrors 06:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete ~~or redirect~~, do not keep separately. Implausible search term and speculation. -- nae'blis _(talk) 13:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete and redirect per previous discussion Percy Snoodle 15:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
