Speedy deletion nomination of I Guess This is Goodbye (Desperate Housewives)

A tag has been placed on I Guess This is Goodbye (Desperate Housewives), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Oh, no, don't worry! There's a policy on Wikipedia called WP:CRYSTAL, regarding future events and such. Its purpose is to make sure we don't have articles... on speculation...

Scratch that. In the middle of writing this I realized since the episode is scheduled and certain to take place, we can have an article about it. That was a nice mistake on my part. :P I'll go around removing the AFDs. However, you should remember to avoid speculation as to what will happen in the episodes until they come out- that's the one part of WP:CRYSTAL that does apply here.

Sorry for the mess! Gah! ALI ^{nom nom} 17:51, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, whoa! You don't have to do that! We don't censor information for any reason either. No spoiler warnings, no nothing. But if it doesn't have a source, then it should probably be removed. Pretty much everything has to be sourced. I expect it'll be easier to source it when the episode comes out, though. ALI ^{nom nom} 18:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't watch a lot of it, I'm afraid. But you learn a lot about a huge number of topics by editing here, so I'm familiar with it. ALI ^{nom nom} 18:13, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
