Talk:The Nighttime Price Is Right
Why?
[edit]Sorry to appear deletionist, but is there anything that separates this version from the daytime version other than its host? There is a brief summary at The Price Is Right (US game show) which seems suffice for this subject. The other primetime/syndicated entrants that arguably give reason to be split off the main article:
- The $1,000,000 Spectacular has thematic elements and, of course, the $1 million spin.
- The New Price Is Right (1994) was so drastically different, that a summary is not possible.
Point being, if these episodes had aired in the daytime (other than the host change) would anyone know the difference? I just don't think there's enough to merit a new article. Just my 2¢.—Twigboy 15:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I removed the prod tag you placed on the article. This is not a well-named article, among other issues, but it should be improved (or merged with the main The Price Is Right article), not deleted. — Gavia immer (talk) 19:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I considered {{merge}} first, but all (or nearly all) the material comes right from the main The Price Is Right article). Reconsider?—Twigboy 19:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Apparently not, so as you suggest, I will tag as {{merge}}. I don't, however, see anything new in this article that is sourced, so anything that is merged over would compromise the GA status of the main article. Keep in mind, this program is still just The Price Is Right — the only differences are that it happened to air in the evening, was distributed through syndication, and it had a different host. The title was the same and the format was the same. All of this points to the need for a summary section in the main article, but not a new article.—Twigboy 14:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

- No merge. Just delete. The entire premise of the article is incorrect -- it lists the 1972-1980 and 1985-1986 runs as a single series. -TPIRFanSteve 02:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Per the above, I'm converting the {{merge}} tag back to {{prod}}. There has been little activity since its inception other than maintenance and unsubstantiated reverting of corrections. —Twigboy 19:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, it was previously prodded? Then not only is the invalid reasoning for deletion a problem, so is adding the tag back. You can try AFD if you want, but I doubt it'll fly. FrozenPurpleCube 17:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- I've redirected the page to the main article. There's no show by this title, and there was no information here that needed merged. -TPIRFanSteve 18:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
