Notability

Does this Wikipedia page serve any purpose other than to promote a television show? Is there really a need for every show on basic cable to have its own page? 68.225.171.64 (talk) 23:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Does anyone remember shows such as 3-2-1 Contact, or Soupy Sales today? Few, but when such a show is referenced in a documentary or parody, where should we turn to learn about what was just referenced? Wikipedia articles use source citation when referencing shows on television, thus pointing to a source of information. The Wikipedia article acts as a repository of the information being referenced for the topic in discussion. If it's mass media, it's definitely note worthy. Some Wikipedia pages consist of a single sentence, but this is only because more research and work is required to expand the article (the MythBusters article is large enough to have it's own sub-article pages). Just because the Auction Kings article is small now, doesn't mean it won't be expanded later. Most importantly, Wikipedia articles are intended to be neutral - the creation of an article is not a promotion of the topic/contents of the article, but is intended to be informative.

Your observation, 68.225.171.64, is important though. If Wikipedia users didn't ask such questions, this great digital encyclopedia wouldn't even exist in the first place. Even as familiar as I am with such classic programs as "You Can't Do That on Television," I find that it is fun to see how the show is described in the article. Sometimes in the course of reading an article, I suddenly find myself scrambling to read a referenced, related Wikipedia article, or follow a referenced source to a bank of information previously unknown to me. So, any television show is worthy of it's own Wikipedia article (with certain restrictions to specific article access as required by law, i.e. age restrictions and country-specific bans).

Article Requires Information

This article is missing quite a lot of information. Just for an example, I'm citing the episode in which Cindy and Paul both really wanted a vintage Coca-Cola machine they were auctioning, but when Cindy lost it to Paul, he turned around and gave it to her, which was total awesomeness. Auction Kings has been on the air for longer than just 1 season, but that's all there is in the article.^[1] If someone can resolve this issue by adding more information to the article, including expanding the episode list, it would be greatly appreciated - thank you.

On this note, I have also referenced the fore mentioned episode in the "In Mass Media" section of the Coca-Cola article. Whomever adds the missing information to the Auction Kings article, could you please also resolve the ^{[season and episode needed]} tag I added to the end of the edit? Thank you very much.

Cindy Shook Reports of Death

The Cindy Shook section reports she was killed August 2020. However, her Facebook page has posts after that date and there's no Internet source reporting her death. This is possible vandalism. Does anyone have information that can verify this? PNW Raven (talk) 18:46, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
