Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ICarly (season 6) (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep. The only rationale for deletion was that the season did not exist; it does now. No prejudice against a merge, if contributors should decide that this is actually an extended Season 5 or that iCarly needs only one article. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:16, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Season does not exist. Repeatedly re-created. – Confession0791 ^talk 12:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The season is supposed to start on March 24th, a week from now. I'm not as familiar with episode listings, but considering that the season will be starting soon, would that mean that it should be kept? I'm not making a decision one way or another since I'm not very aware of this particular thing, but wanted to voice that the season will be starting incredibly soon.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ I'm very confused, here it says that all the episodes from Season 5 are actually from Season 4? Someone needs to get this sorted out first. JayJay^{Talk to me} 16:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Okay nevermind Season 5 has not ended yet the two episodes are completely wrong, iApril Fools is actually Season 5 plus the airdate and episode number in series is wrong. JayJay^{Talk to me} 16:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The show's seasons are very complicated but it's labeling is apparently different in both the filming cycle and airing cycle from Season 3 and onward. There's evidence supporting the network's decision to split the 45 episodes produced in the show's second production cycle into two airing seasons. So this upcoming season while being produced as and being the real Season 5 would technically be airing as Season 6 as other websites have it listed as. - Jabrona - 17:30, 19 March 2012
- Comment on the comment Jabrona, don't tell people that this is definitely the case. I know you care about it, but the fact is, you don't know for sure. Instead, point people to the discussion at talk page. Don't continue trying to push your viewpoint on everyone else. Kevinbrogers (talk) 01:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP didn't the new season already start *weird* AdabowtheSecond (talk) 15:11, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge All of them into a List of iCarly episodes article. There is a huge amount of fancrufty bloat on all of these season articles. Delete the season synopsis openings (my god, it is a 30 minute kid's show, not something deep and arc-worthy like Lost) and cut the episode plots down to 1-2 sentences.

Merge I've about had it with all this crap surrounding iCarly. Page protections don't help a bit, because the majority of it is coming from existing registered users. A merge is desperately needed, as it would make everything much, much easier to patrol. Tarc is right. Cut down all of this cruft. Get rid of all of the pointless notes and "absent" labels in the episode summaries. Leave it at 2–3 sentences. There's absolutely no reason for all of the "trivia" in them. An episode summary on the season 3 article even makes a note that Gary Coleman grills were featured in Drake & Josh. Is that really so important? Just merge all six of them and get rid of all the unimportant stuff. Kevinbrogers (talk) 01:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree something has to be done about this. I see that there is no season 6. there is a discussion going on here [1] if we can get an Admins help here I think it would be a good idea. As far as merging all the season into one page, I don't think its a very good idea. The main page was getting to long and thats why it was split to begin with. with all ready 100 episodes it will just be too long. I think it is fine a the monmment. Like I said the season &3 issue has to be solved or 4 & 5 need to be merged into one season.141.110.189.29 (talk) 21:39, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If the new season's about to start then there's no reason to delete it - keep it. Unreal7 (talk) 23:57, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep and speedy close. It was officious silliness to AFD this 6 days before the new season began, and now that the season has begub, there's no earthly or unearthly reason not to have an article paralleling those for the first four, five, or whatever seasons. This isn't the place to sort out the numbering issues. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as Hullaballoo Wolfowitz states. Each season should have its own article, its a well-established organizational scheme for TV shows of this duration on wikipedia.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 03:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
