There is no reason for this article not to be part of the original "As the World Turns" article.  There will probably never be images under this article, and the history of the show is obviously the heart of the original page, rendering that article useless. Juppiter 00:31, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm alarmed that you are not talking about this issue, instead petulantly insisting that it should be on the original page. The original As the World Turns page was approaching 32k in space, and to alleviate loading problems, the history was moved to different pages. See the All My Children article for similar spacing. I have since renamed the page to History of As the World Turns (1956-1959) for the sake of uniformity in the soap articles (the AMC articles are named the same way). I vote Keep, as well as to keep any other ATWT history article, or AMC history, or any soap history. Mike H 01:34, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
*Strong keep as a perfectly acceptable way of keeping the size of the main article down to a reasonable length.  Mike H. did the right thing. - Lucky 6.9 02:01, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

text: I think any show that has been on for at least thirty years deserves extra articles if there's already history written (in the case of ATWT and AMC). Obviously, not to just start an article with things branched out, but there was a reason why they're started in the first place. Mike H 19:21, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
*Keep - With the nav boxes it's perfect.  --Key45 19:38, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: :Image:Atwtbw.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Atwtbw.jpg

message: I believe that the existing title is misleading, as it implies that the history of the series in the real world (i.e., first airing, creators and talent arriving and leaving, etc.), is covered, when it is not. Maybe a better title would be "Plot of AtWT (1956-1959)?" John Carter 20:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
