Notability edit

Please stop deleting my article.

Then please provide some proper references that show that this TV series: a) exists and b) is notable. Sparthorse (talk) 17:07, 8 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

When did this show start? edit

IMDb lists the series as starting in 2003, with four series running through 2006, while Channel 4 lists the first series as being the one that IMDb lists as season 5 (airing in 2007). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I too noticed this discrepancy when I added more episodes to the list. While some people say IMDb is not a good resource, I've found broadcasters' websites can be even worse, for the purposes of determining which shows aired, and when. But I'm reluctant to add IMDb's ordering, which includes three more series, and swaps two series. Yet BFI has a partial list which seems to agree more with IMDb than with Channel 4 on this particular show. I wasn't able to find any more suitable sources of information. 24.57.210.141 (talk) 03:49, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have an idea edit

How about instead of trying to delete my artice, you actually improve it instead! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Androzaniamy (talkcontribs) 18:46, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The burden of providing adequate references is on the author of the article. Instead of trying to disrupt Wikipedia by removing the AfD tag, why don't you, as the author, try improving it instead? Sparthorse (talk) 18:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I tried but it kept getting deleted along with the upsetting news about the article getting deleted! If you care so much about this article a bit of help might be needed instead of constantly trying to get it deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Androzaniamy (talkcontribs) 19:13, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Help! edit

Could somebody please help my with citation errors please?Androzaniamy (talk) 19:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I added the {{reflist}} tag, but I caution that IMDb is NOT a reliable source per WP:IMDB Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 19:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I just need the link for proof that this shoudnt be deletedAndrozaniamy (talk) 19:36, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but as Funnyfarmofdoom said, IMDB is not a reliable source so it is not enough to prevent deletion. Please read WP:GNG and [{WP:RS]]. Sparthorse [[[User talk:Sparthorse|talk]]) 19:45, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Withdrawing AfD edit

I proposed this article for deletion at AfD at a stage when it gave no indication of the existence of the programme - no source, no indication of whether it was US, Australian, or whatever. Since Metropolitan90 has helpfully provided external links to its page at Channel 4 and, on the AfD page, links to reviews, I have rewritten the article and withdrawn my AfD nomination.

As the series is made up of independent films, any mention of one particular actor as "starring" in it, or even appearing, would be inappropriate.

If an editor is unhappy that an article they have started (not "their" article - see WP:OWN) is nominated for deletion, their remedy is to improve it. If I had noticed the repeated removal of the AfD message I might have been sufficiently irritated by this behaviour to think that an article with such poorly-behaved support was not worth my time trying to improve it.

I appreciate your help but please don't bite the newcomers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Androzaniamy (talkcontribs) 17:45, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have a question edit

I'd like to thank whoever edited this article and proved the show existed. So why does it still need to be deleted? Androzaniamy (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The discussion will still go on, until a consensus is reached and an WP:ADMIN closes the discussion. Karl 334 TALK to ME 21:37, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

A mistake I made edit

When I accidentaly removed the message saying this article was deleted it was when I was rewriting the whole article agin due to my terrible citation errors and I couldn't get it back on. The other times were not me but someone else with me being logged in. So sorry for any inconvenience caused, I'm still a bit new to this. Androzaniamy (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I didn't know before and I have changed my password so please don't block me because of the other person. Androzaniamy (talk) 17:43, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
