Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waterloo Road Comprehensive (2nd nomination)
There is no evidence that this article ''can become'' satisfactory. There is no evidence that this article can ever transcend a mere description of the plot. Although the term "Waterloo Road Comprehensive" appears in many results, they are always referring to plot or casting elements. For instance, the term indeed appears in articles such as http://news.scotsman.com/features/TV-review-Waterloo-Road-.4853938.jp this and http://www.wilmslowexpress.co.uk/news/s/522/522347_sister_act_for_real.html this, but both are rather trivial mentions. The latter contains some useful real-world production context for Waterloo Road (TV series). Can any of the article's editors or the inclusionists cite a specific source that would justify retaining this?There are Waterloo Road (TV series) and List of Waterloo Road episodes for an overview of the plot. We do not need another. I asked on the first AFD, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FWaterloo_Road_Comprehensive&action=historysubmit&diff=303131344&oldid=303130409 "What do you envisage as the improvements you can make?", and no-one took any |effort to reply. I have never seen any edit to this article that has been about anything other than a retelling of the plot. The main Waterloo Road (TV series) is not the best. I advise editors work to get that to some reasonable standard before creating spin-off pages. Perhaps they might take a look at some good television articles, such as ''EastEnders'', to get an idea what needs doing to WR?GaGaOohLaLa is absolutely correct. There will be nothing left if you do strip away the plot material from thios article. That's the problem.The article ''does not'' need ''cleanup''. It needs writing from scratch. As with notability problems, there would hold no prejudice against this being recreated later if it were written properly, '''with''' sources and real-world context
