[edit] The Place to Be

The Place to Be (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is part of an effort to remove articles about non-notable television network promotional slogans. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Watched By More Americans Than Any Other Network for the original nomination in the series. Gladys J Cortez 20:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge - into a "slogans" section on NBC, perhaps? —XSG 22:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Not the place for THIS to be. While a lot of money is spent on adverstising campaigns, and they often are memorable, they come, they serve their purpose, and they go, never to be heard from again (except on a Dick Clark or Ed McMahon special). I don't see anything wrong with doing an article about all of NBC's slogans over the years. Individual articles about individual ad campaigns, however, are another matter. I'm sure that we all remember several different songs that we learned from commercials for McDonald's or Coca-Cola. But that doesn't mean that "You Deserve A Break Today" or "Coke Is It" (and those were a lot more notable than "The Place To Be") are worthy of their own entry in an encyclopedia. If anything, this illustrates the throw-away nature of a slogan for a network's new fall TV season. Mandsford (talk) 01:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge with similar AFD'd articles into one article. I could have sworn there was an article on the slogans. The topic is encyclopedic, but there's no need to have individual articles on each one. 23skidoo (talk) 23:49, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge to NBC article. I cannot support 23skidoo's proposal to merge these articles to a separate article on NBC's slogans, because a television network's slogans are not sufficiently notable to justify a separate article from the television network itself. Just about every TV network ever in existence has had heaps of advertising slogans, and slogans are pretty trivial anyway. --SJK (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I have attempted to merge the page here: User:Some Person/NBC slogans —Some Person (talk) 05:24, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • MERGE into parent NBC article. NN in itself.--Sallicio\color{Red} \oplus 08:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - just another non-notable slogan of the month. Not sure it's even worth mentioning in the parent article. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:04, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
