[edit] Meadow Ending

Meadow Ending (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is an entry devoted to an "ending" that has yet to be substantiated with reliable sources. Just64helpin 19:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, hoax or mistaken. Cable channels don't have "east coast feeds".--Dhartung | Talk 20:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

yeah, they do. On satellite, you can get HBOW or HBOE; the programming is the same but offset by 3 hours. Not that that should change your vote. Capmango 22:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Sourced to four message boards? That fails attribution by a mile. Delete if not sourced to good reliable sources. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 20:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless more appropriate sources can be put forward to back this up. --Merovingian (T, C, E) 20:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This is a definite hoax/urban legend. The only claim to substantiate was "the ending was only shown on the east coast", and "it was only shown once" and "only certain networks showed the ending". First of all 1) I live on the east coast -- there was not a different ending. 2) You think someone, somewhere on the east coast would have TiVo'd it? There is no video proof of this anywhere. 3) The network is HBO for everyone. Basically, it's complete malarky --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 20:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per sumnjim. Maybe a reference to this urban legend could be included in the article Made in America (The Sopranos episode). But it does not deserve its own article. MrBlondNYC 07:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Sourcing is questionable. Wouldn't merit a separate article even with video evidence. Clconway 16:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Without a question, there is nothing notable about this article at all. Citing blogs does not constitute sourcing, and to create one based on a very small internet hoax? Delete this--Sopranosmob781 14:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The article is thinly sourced and lacks any hard evidence to support it. The so-called reason behind it is an obvious hoax created by people who do not want to be proved wrong. The fact that it could only be seen on the east coast proves the west coast wrong, and the fact that it was only seen once, and all further showings were removed proves the east coast wrong. Why would HBO deliberatley delete an unimportant shot that only lasted a split second???SpecialAgentUncleTito 22:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for all the reasons above. This article has little value to Wikipedia, even if merged with the final episode. It's speculative and far from encylopedic. --CPAScott 15:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to lack of sources. The final episode got a great deal of coverage in the US so the lack of reliable sources is telling. Capitalistroadster 05:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete no sources. Nothing in there even worth merging.--Wehwalt 14:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
