American Idol controversy[edit]

Superfluous. Delete or Merge with American Idol --Zpb52 01:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am changing my initial suggestion. The information is relevant, but does it deserve its own article? I don't think so. --Zpb52 03:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Looks like a perfectly legitimate fork of American Idol. GrandmasterkaFile:Blend Flag.jpg^{Impart wisdom} 01:48, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Come on! it doesnt get any more relevant than this!ZornArmand 03:09, 18 March 2006 (UTC)zornarmand[reply]

• Keep,notable controversy, large enough to deserve its own article--TBC^{??? ??? ???} 06:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reasonable fork of a long AI article. However as it stands the article is POV and OR, cites few sources, and largely ignores notable controversies from prior years. Needs expansion, cleanup and NPOV. Thatcher131 06:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with American Idol per nom. Nobody is going to search for "American Idol controvery". This information properly belongs in the main article. Hyphen5 07:09, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per Hyphen5. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, needs cleanup, citation of sources and remove POV text. --Terence Ong 14:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as notable fork of what would otherwise be a mammoth AI article. However, article needs lots of work, especially sourcing. ProhibitOnions 20:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge after cleanup. Just zis Guy you know? 22:10, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep no merge. Definitely needs its own article just like Microsoft controversy or anything else halfway important. -- JJay 22:32, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per Hyphen5 and trim. These are just footnotes in the grand scheme of American Idol things MLA 10:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Granted American Idol is hardly an important issue on a larger scale, but I'm all for anything that exposes and discusses how hateful "reality" television is, as allegedly American Idol is "reality" television. -- Andrew Parodi 12:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep With the show bound to last a decade, the controversy is yet to come. Hang onto it!--DodgerOfZion 17:07, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
