Just remember to NOT GET DELETE HAPPY. Mods do sweeps but we're pretty sure that the page deserves it. Sometimes members get all nit picky and start tagging EVERYTHING with a delete notice.

Well, Orca1 9904 did a delete sweep on all the ones tagged with nuke. I think there should have been a vote. Like Mythbusters has been up for a while, even though it wasn't complete. It had some effort put into it. Maybe not as much as Mail Call. Why is one allowed to stay and another is not? That "grandfathered in" is bullshit. It looks unfair as a whole if certain ones are still up even though they don't meet the rules. Many of the ones Orca1 deleted, were built before the rules same as Mail Call.

If documentaries aren't allowed delete them all.

I didn't see much voting between the mods to me.

There wasn't no, Mythbusters - stay or nay
Future Weapons - stay or nay. etc

That is voting I'm talking about.

Regardless of what the rules are, that doesn't sound like a good idea to have one admin robotically responding to tags without any input like that.

Which is WHY that delete tag is NOT a good idea.

If some page is suggested for deletion, it should be in the Discussion page. That way people can put input forth and Mods can review and make a cool headed decision.

I hate those reality TV / Documentaries myself (and I was always against them) because (a) usually they do a show on the gun itself, so identifying it is pointless and (b) documenting what REAL COPS use (in shows like Dallas SWAT / DEA / etc.) falls outside of the scope of IMFDB because no movie armorer provided the weapon. We would just be reiterating what is 'regulation' for that department to really carry (c) Documentaries open the door to all sorts of irrelevant entries. We once had a CBS News show on Operation Enduring Freedom (invasion of Afghanistan 2002). My thought was 'who cares?' All they did was use existing news footage of the warring parties. We would soon be putting up pages for ABC World News Tonight! if that continued. That page was quickly deleted.

Television was supposed to be TELEVISION SHOWS. Not reality TV or news or documentaries. Those shows depict real life and open the doors to too many barely relevant entries.

That being said, we should VOTE on which ones stay. But seriously there was supposed to be a MORATORIUM on new reality TV/documentaries shows. What happened to that?

How much input does Chris Bunni actually give as far as these kinds of decisions go?

He doesn't. He just floats around and lets the members of the Imperium decide on the fate of condemned pages. He gave the membership the power and thus trusts us to use it wisely.......

RE - the new category. Me gusta mucho. Definitely something to use more in the future. And I like how it links to the rules, too.

Except that this bunny isn't sitting on top of the button that makes the changes into law. And neither are we.
