Trivia on EastEnders

WP:NOT a general knowledge base - this is trivia --Doc (?) 00:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep. At first I was thinking about merging it to EastEnders under a trivia section, like most of the other TV series articles have. But EastEnders exceeds the 32KB recommended article size. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • 32KB is a suggestion, not a hard limit. See Windows 2000. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:30, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Suggestion: We could do something similar to what is done with All My Children. First merge Trivia on EastEnders to a trivia section on EastEnders. Then break the Storylines section into a seperate article. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:36, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I agree with EastEnders the great's comment below. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP: The EastEnders article is too long as it is, therfore it has to be split up into other sections. There are already plenty of trivia pages like this for other articles, so what should we do - request for them all to be deleted? I think not.

  Teletubbies trivia

  Trivia about The Simpsons

  Fiji Trivia

  Survivor Trivia and Interesting Facts

  Zealot Trivia

Maybe I am just missing the point? But I think it would be unfair to delete this article when others too clearly have seperated trivia pages - so I say keep this page. Would like this clearing up though. --EastEnders the great 01:34, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No offense, but all of those article should probably be on VfD. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Yeah I agree with the suggestion from Zzyzx11, was thinking about that - but seemed like a bigger job.

If this article is too much of a problem then it can be merged back into the article until the other changes are done. --EastEnders the great 01:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I would suggest that this would be the best course of action. Encyclopedias deal with core information, not trivia (despite what some might think). - Ta bu shi da yu 03:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep and merge into main article. Hornplease

• Keep, better split out than merged. Kappa 08:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep and cleanup. The main article is already sufficiently large. This could perhaps be rewritten into more of an article than a plain list. JamesBurns 10:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Rename to Eastenders trivia. Radiant_* 10:50, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Sorry is this my fault? I added some information to the EastEnders article and it said it was too large??? I think the EastEnders page should stay as one, it is stupid that the pages cannot be too long!!!!! Who cares if it is too long anyway? Oxydrene 13:16, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to EastEnders, then clean-up EastEnders. It is far too long and portions non-encyclopedic. DoubleBlue (Talk) 14:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with EastEnders and remove the trivia. --Carnildo 22:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • But it's all trivial - that's the whole point! --Doc (?) 21:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with EastEnders and cleanup. --Silversmith Hewwo 19:35, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
