The result was redirect to Skins (TV series). So Why 17:57, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roundview College[edit]

This is an article about a fictional college, that does not play a major part in its related TV series and has no real content. Pretzels^Talk! 20:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

keep and expand. You'd never guess it from the article, but its the major setting of a very notable series. The thing do do with material like this is to look for sources, not deletion. I note that the main article could use a summary section about settings also. DGG (talk) 23:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Such content as there is, can easily be absorbed into Skins (TV series) article. SpinningSpark 23:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then why are you not supporting a merge or a redirect? - Mgm|^(talk) 09:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of principle, I believe that it is wrong to !vote for merge if you are not personally prepared to carry out the merger. It puts the closing admin in a very difficult position, who may not be inclined, or have the necessary knowledge, to carry out the merge him/herself but has got no indication that anyone is actually going to do it. In this particular case, the article consists of only three sentences, of which the content of one is already in Skins so a merge is trivial whether or not the article gets deleted. I will support a merge once someone else has indicated a willingness to do the work. SpinningSpark 13:22, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no independent notability whatsoever. Eusebeus (talk) 05:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Redirect to Skins (TV series). For an American analogy, Pacific Coast Academy is a redirect to Zoey 101, and the school itself has no apparent notability outside the British television show. Mandsford (talk) 00:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable fancruft. Tavix (talk) 01:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No real world notability. Bsimmons666 (talk) ^Friend? 01:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Skins (TV series). I still don't understand how a real person can attend a fictional college, but since it is the major setting of the show, it makes for a plausible search term. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
