Chikara Season One

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The Chikara Season 11 article has been deleted for a myriad of reasons including:lack of coverage, fan/listcruft, and ultimately not being suitable as a standalone article.LM2000 (talk) 02:30, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because the rest of the seasons are nearly identical in structure and should be deleted with Season 11:

Merge/Delete: I support for the same reasons outlined in the season 11 discussion.--WillC 05:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I happened upon these articles a while ago, and they blew my mind for how detailed and unencyclopedic they seemed. I was tempted to nom for various criteria. I believe the series is probably notable, but the season-by-season textwall synopses seem like they could, and should, be condensed the way, oh, a normal television series is? I don't quite understand the need for the level of detail currently provided. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We've discussed some merging options in the Season 11 AfD such as expanding here or here, or possibly creating a new article to summarize all of them. I think that the explanation by the keep voters (almost all of whom were sockpuppets) for the excessive detail was that these aren't normal television series (this isn't even a show that airs on television), it's to detail everything that happens in a year worth of Chikara shows. Too much unenclopedic crufty content for that in my opinion. A very condensed version of this content should go somewhere else though.LM2000 (talk) 05:50, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's not a television series at all. More like a series of events which made it to DVD... and 4 iPPVs. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 08:40, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Do we really need to have this discussion again? Everything said on the Season 11 deletion discussion applies here and on the other seasons as well.リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (talk) 07:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Merge - notability for the company Chikara is established, not so much for each individual season, if you look at the sources. A heavily condensed version combining all the "seasons" (really just a series of live events which made it to DVD, except for 4 iPPVs) could survive as History of Chikara maybe. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 08:40, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
