Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Mock the Week

Clear Keep majority, but mostly from IPs and newcomers. Among established editors the vote is 4-1 to delete and the VfD has run for well over the 7 days so I see no reason to prolong it.-- Poetlister 20:11, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Mock the Week
Overabundance of copyrighted material (I'm not joking when I say that it has all of the answers of the "Scenes We'd Like to See" rounds ever played) Will {{sup|{talk)}} 22:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

As an aside, the Mock the Week website, which I believe is official, links to wikiquotes. http://www.mocktheweek.tv/theshow/

Keep This is a brilliant page for all viewers who have missed the first few series of Mock the Week, and for those who cannot understand what is being said. Please do not comment if you don't watch or enjoy Mock the Week as it is a shame for all of the fans who do enjoy the show and want this page to stay An encyclopedia, for those that can read or bother to read a dictionary, is a source of information. If you want information on the chinese god of cheese, or something you need, you go look in an uncyclopedia If someone wants to see mock the week quotes, then here it is, are you going to delete Murray Walkers quotes as well? No. --92.9.39.230 15:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I doubt that a deletion is necessary; a heavy prune should do it.-- Poetlister 06:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Frankly, I don't find much here notable and support deletion on those grounds.--Cato 21:13, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that this should stay here, but be edited to better suit Wikiquite's guidelines.
 * Delete unless trimmed for copyvio. - InvisibleSun 17:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete both as a copyvio and as Cato says on grounds of quality.--Yehudi 21:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep seems a shame to get rid of an article with so much content - but definitely needs clean-up and pruning (I'm not sure how copyright is applied when what is posted is, essentially, a lot of one-line quotes- but when put together they amount to nearly entire scenes of the program) -- TehJess 14:15, 7 August 2008 (GMT)
 * Keep The reasoning is right, the solution is wrong. Needs a heavy trim for potential copyright reasons, but this doesn't justify deleting the lot. Instead, we should reach consensus on how much content is reasonable, and work from there. 82.5.72.161 01:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Get rid of the unsorted stuff, trim down scenes we'd like to see, and leave it. Nemesis646 08:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It is cos of this page that i got into wikiquote. It has helped me with my TV.com account by furthering myself and hopefully, it'll still be here.
 * Keep Please keep this page - it's the best page of all Wikiquote and Wiki Media - and I'VE RECOMMENED TO ALL MY FRIENDS!
 * Keep, but it does need some serious trimming and cleanup. ~ UDScott 12:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep,I really enjoy Mock The Week and i didn't watch the 1st,2nd and 3rd series and I managed to catch up using this page. 89.241.145.226 16:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Why is it anything lightly informative or entertaining gets nominated for deletion?
 * Keep and improve if necessary It possibly needs a tidy up, and certainly needs improvement, but I don't think that warrants deletion. I know I'm inclusionist, but I do feel that improvement would be better than deletion. 82.10.138.28 04:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment No guidance has been given as to what the deletionists (nominating on the basis of having so much content as to infringe copyright) consider to be an acceptable level of trimming for the article. Without wanting to sound like a wannabie admin here, the general feel of this discussion seems to be that most people believe the subject is notable, and (whilst not always the same people) most people think there is too much in it. Surely the logical thing to do here is to decide what an acceptable level of content would be, agree deadlines for this to be achieved, and then delete it if nobody has actioned this? A fleeting statement on the talk page to the effect of "there is too much here" isn't going to achieve anything. 82.5.72.161 16:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. A fan page would have to go a lot farther than this one to detract from, rather than enhance the interests of copyright holders. Not that I am keen on fan pages, but this is not a reason to delete. Ningauble 13:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
