This is the Archive of rejected article deletion proposals.

Rejected nominations
Day 5 6:00am-7:00am - I don't see a reason for this page yet. -CWY2190 14:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. I don't see a problem with creatinig placeholders for future episodes, as long as they aren't too far in advance.  --Randy Johnston 18:14, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


 * As long as the page doesn't contain spoiler information, it should be fine. There's no point in it existing right now, but since it now does, there's really no point in deleting it, only to have it be created again in a month. --Proudhug 19:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Government - Duh, if anyone doesn't know what a "government" is, they probably can't follow the show. --StBacchus 15 April 2006


 * You could make the same argument about Memory Alpha including articles on common knowledge stuff like Captain or Space. The purpose of Wiki 24 is to archive all information from and about 24.  Government is a big part of what 24 is, so it for sure needs an article here.  That said, the article definitely needs to be rewritten (or written, as the case may be).  The article needs to explain what "government" is within the context of the 24verse, not just some real-life definition cut-n-paste from Wikipedia. --Proudhug 15:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmm, okay. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the guidance. --StBacchus 17 April 2006


 * Okay, I deleted the link here because I put a lot of time into that page and I don't want it to be deleted anymore! --StBacchus 22 April 2006

Petra Wright - I know that Proudhug set this page up, but as much as I love/respect/adore him, I don't see the point in putting up an actor page that doesn't have a character page to go along with it. - Xtreme680


 * I disagree. I think we should try and get every actor who appears on 24, no matter how small their role, a page. That way the wiki is complete. - Willo


 * I agree with Willo. The point of Wiki 24 is to be as complete as possible, even if it means creating articles that don't really have much or any original information on them.  In the case of characters like this, I'd planned for there to be pages set up like on Memory Alpha which list unnamed characters in categories, such as "Unnamed CTU agents", "Unnamed characters", and "Unnamed terrorists". --Proudhug 18:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Chess - There's just no reason for us to explain this game. It has appeared in one episode, but there's no reason we need a page on it, a wikipedia link would be better served. --Xtreme680


 * The game was featured on the show and mentioned in another episode, therefore I think it has a place here. However, I'd recommend only including relevant information to the show.  We don't need to explain how the game works. --Proudhug 03:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I second the nomination for Chess, also. There's only one relevant piece of information, and it's already on the episode page. --StBacchus 15 April 2006


 * I don't understand why you want this deleted. Surely redundancy can't be a ligitimate reason for deletion of an article.  As I said chess was mentioned in a later episode, too.  The way I figure it, anything that was mentioned or shown prominently on the show deserves inclusion.  Real-life items are tricky because they need to focus on how it relates specifically to and was used on the show, but I still think most of them should be included here for the sake of completeness. --Proudhug 15:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay. I guess if every actor ever on the show can/should have a page, so can chess. I just didn't see it as prominent. (It's not like, say, Twin Peaks, where most of the second season involves a chess game.) Does anyone know which episode had the mention? --StBacchus 17 April 2006
