The result was Keep. Potential vandalism is not a delete reason, or we should delete all school articles and Rik Waller. Fram 12:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas and Friends - Season 12

[edit]

There is very little information on what Season 12 is going to be about. At any rate, it is only attracting hoards of vandals, and the creator had no insentive to do good, so it needs deleting. CBFan 20:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I wanted to go speedy on content, but it has a note about Pierce Brosnan narrating. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Change vote to keep based on precedent. My unspoken concerns about crystalballery aren't there. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 16:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Though they should put that information in the current Thomas and Friends article, since Season 12 hasn't happened yet. Mandsford 21:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (Surprising response from a long-standing member of WP:THOMAS!) This is, unfortunately, an annual event. Season 11 has just started broadcasting and (responsible) editors are adding information concerning each episode as it is aired. Unfortunately, these Thomas pages attract a very high level of poor-quality editing (ie, effectively, vandalism) from unregistered users, most of whom are no doubt extremely young and keen to add their bit. The Season 11 page is currently semi-protected to minimise these problems. The Season 12 page could usefully be retained, also semi-protected, with this snippet of information about Pierce Bosnan (which can be cited, by the way), as it will need to be created sometime next year anyway. The reason for suggesting this course of action is that WP:THOMAS members have 'been here before', and it will avoid a lot of hassle for everyone. Rest assured that if this page is deleted, some user will re-create it in the very near future, and this will keep on happening... -- EdJogg 22:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- Citation for Pierce Brosnan has been added (source HIT Entertainment Press Release). This is also referenced elsewhere, particularly at Pierce Brosnan and Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. -- EdJogg 22:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 22:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I dont' think a page attracting vandels is reason enough to delete it. When term papers are due, are we supposed to delete Mark Twain, Albert Enstein, etc.? Notability has been established. I don't believe the reason for the prod is valid and as such, I vote to keep. Turlo Lomon 11:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Season 12 will happen, and is in itself notable per precedent (not that I would watch this show). This page serves as a place holder in the mean time. Alternatively, this page might also be redirected/merged to the main article in the meantime until more is known, like was done for Lost (Season 4), but I think keeping it the way it is is better. – sgeureka ^t•c 12:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
