Christmas Special 2009

Purely speculation and rumors about a Doctor Who Christmas special. See WP:CRYSTAL. Radiant chains (talk) 14:17, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EXTERMINATE - It clearly breaches Wp:CRYSTAL. Although we may have this page, that has verified material: this one has nothing but unsourced material. (Besides, all Whovians know that Donna won't be able to appear - her mind was wiped, and any reminder will cause her to burn up.)

NOTE- I realize I close this in error, and have re-opened it, and re-set the page as it was before I closed it. my vote is for a redirect to List_of_Doctor_Who_serials#Specials (2009-10) until more info becomes available. I humbly accept and deserve whatever troutslapping i get. Umbralcorax (talk) 16:36, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Term is far too general for a Doctor Who redirect. Sarilox (talk) 17:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with nom. I would put this info in appropriate Dr. Who related article and when it is broadcast, IF it deserves separate article, then write it then. Right now, sounds more like a commercial for the show! If the consensus is to keep, please change article title to reflect it is a Dr. Who special and not a generic one.

I suspect the people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dr Who will say "Thank you for the effort, but no.". They usually set a good example, with respect to verifiability, with their articles on television episodes. I'll nudge them.
For those wanting the title changed, note that we already have 2009 Christmas special (Doctor Who), and it is the subject of discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 April 11#2009 Christmas special (Doctor Who) → The Waters of Mars. Uncle G (talk) 23:52, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as well as the current redirect, there's also an ongoing discussion here. Maccy69 (talk) 00:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Uncle G. Words right out of my mouth :) Sceptre ^(talk) 23:56, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete far too early for its own article. Any properly sourced material that comes up can be incorporated into List of Doctor Who serials#Specials_.282009-10.29 which does a good job of describing the current situation. Maccy69 (talk) 00:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List_of_Doctor_Who_serials#Specials (2009-10) for now; however, there is a surprising amount of source material from reliable sources on this. In addition to info from Doctor Who Magazine, there are interviews from The Times and Scotland on Sunday which give background on the script, and filming reports from io9, (two), Wired, The Sun, The Western Mail, South Wales Evening Post and Evening Standard. I think that a fairly solid stub could be created out of that. As for WP:CRYSTAL, if these sources were added it would clearly meet the standard that "the event is notable and almost certain to take place." —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a content fork of 2009 Christmas special (Doctor Who), which currently is a redirect to List_of_Doctor_Who_serials#Specials (2009-10). Too general a title for a doctor who article. A discussion is ongoing here. Edgepedia (talk) 06:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. I'm sure that once there is any reliable information about it, 2009 Christmas special (Doctor Who) will be created and filled with it. No need for a placeholder with speculation. So Why 07:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doctor Who is not the only show with a Christmas Special, so the title is wholly inappropriate, especially since we have a properly title place to put any non-speculation info already. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:09, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
