Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeopardy! set evolution (3rd nomination)
per #G4 as repost of article previously deleted at AfD which has not been changed to address the reasons why the article was previously deleted. To take one example, in the previous AfD I expressed concern about the unsourced sentence in the article, "Instead of a 3-inch border surrounding 30 19" TV monitors, the new gameboard consisted of 30 25-inch TV screens encased in a half-inch frame." That sentence is still there and still unsourced. I don't know how anyone managed to measure the monitors and frame without doing |original research; another participant in that AfD claimed he had measured the old monitors when his high school bought three of them, which is blatant original research (and doesn't explain how the old border, the new monitors, or the new frame were measured). Or to take another example, the original Jeopardy! board in 1964 is described as follows: "A Daily Double was indicated by a blue-and-yellow diagonal-stripe-patterned card between the money card and the clue. The categories above the clues were printed in cream color on cards with a somewhat darker shade of blue." Unfortunately, four paragraphs later, the article mentions that even though the show was broadcast in color from the start, no episodes from before 1972 are known to exist in color; the few remaining episodes from the show's first eight seasons exist only as black-and-white kinescopes. No source is provided to support the claims about the various shades of the Jeopardy! set from 1964 to 1972. In general, the article is barely sourced at all
