Well, here's a mass nomination. I've discovered while reading Series finale that the article Notable series finales (1990s) has been deleted through this AfD back in January. But it's obvious that the article was just part of a series, and it doesn't make much sense to delete the one and keep the others (or vice versa), and so I had the choice to either go to deletion review with the the deleted article, or nominate the other articles for deletion. I chose to do the latter, because right now those articles don't cover notable series finales, they simply cover all series finales from that time. I think we should merge these articles into one article, List of notable series finales, that only cover the notable series finales, and not all of them. Now we're going to have a lot of fun while discussing which series finale is notable and which isn't, but I think that it's possible to create a few criteria for inclusion (For example: having multiple emmy nominations (Everyone's Waiting), or being praised/noted by well known critics (All Good Things..., I'm sure some sources can be found). --Conti|✉ 01:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete the word notable has no place in our articles, themselves. Jerry 02:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#INFO and POV issues. meshach 02:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all because of issues with WP:A and WP:NPOV. It's hard to make a convincing argument why there needs to be a centralized article about series finales, instead of placing the content for each show in that show's article. I don't think merging is a good idea; the pages are already long. YechielMan 03:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I've always wondered whether Wikipedia was the place for a list like this in the first place (I'm actually working on a website.) Caswin 03:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as nom. Bigman17 04:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete opinion masquerading as fact. Guy (Help!) 12:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and Merge per nomination. As Jerry noted above, the term notable should not be in an article title in and of itself. Much the same conversation emerged in the debate a week ago about notable African American inventors, et.al. --Mhking 16:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom's reasoning. One was deleted so the others should be too. "Notable" is too much a POV term and if you take it away then you open up the door for every series finale to be chronicled. Best to let the individual series articles handle whether a finale was particularly notable, and there's probably an article on the highest-rated TV episodes somewhere that also serves the same purpose. 23skidoo 16:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
