Talk:Martin Flood

message: This article seems to contradict itself...it states that at one point, Martin used a Lifeline to get the Audience's opinion, however it follows that up with "Eddie and the audience marvelled in amazement as he secured himself $250,000, still without using a lifeline". I don't watch the show, so I can't correct it personally, but the sooner someone fixes this article up, the better. TheZaniak 11:58, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The cleanup that took place today was too harsh. The article needs the list of questions and the correct answers. Grimhim 04:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And what's the justification for the inclusion? I removed it under WP:NOT#IINFO. Recurring dreams 06:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The justification? A guy wins a million dollars for answering a handful of trivia questions, so it's worth preserving for posterity what trivia he was able to answer correctly. Wikipedia's own definition is that it's a written compendium aiming to convey information. The WP:NOT#IINFO you cite applies to irrelevant (lengthy) detail and statistics; the short list of questions here wouldn't conflict with that. Grimhim 07:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The policy point 7, which refers to plot summaries, best covers this issue. Also, a person's notability does not necessitate recounting the event for which he/she is notable in fine detail.Recurring dreams 08:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Point 7, which deals with the plot summaries of works of fiction, has little bearing on what we're discussing here: a list of a dozen or so questions that were answered correctly for a million dollars. This is not "fine detail". It is an interesting and relevant fact that explains how this man came to be one of the small number of million-dollar winners on this show. Reinstating those questions will not detract from the article. Grimhim 08:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Having said all that, I note that the entries for the US and UK winners don't list their questions. The UK winner does, however, name the million dollar question. Flood's article should contain that, at least. Grimhim 09:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's a fair compromise. Recurring dreams 12:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
