The Nanny

I removed the lyrics because you can't freely post copyrighted lyrics at Wikipedia. The other stuff I reverted because it appears to be personal opinion, which is also not allowed. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The controversial humor was a neutral standpoint. That's why I said "may be offensive to SOME people". And the show did show the things I listed and the show did cause controversy over things (I did not say if it was right or wrong. I merely said it did).

You need to provide sources making those statements. Editors' personal opinions and observations are insufficient. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't know how to source references without links to scripts other than the fact that I have every episode of the Nanny and I've been watching it since it started airing. Like the one with the Princess Diana joke aired just two nights ago. And for example, the episode which featured Cher had remarks that could be deemed offensive to the LGBT community. (IrishKisses (talk) 04:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC))

But that's just an editor's opinion. See WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH for further explanation. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:12, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't give an opinion. I smply said these certain things appeared in the episodes. But some of them did cause controversy. In '95, a LGBT group in NY did try to boycott the Nanny and the show's basis principle IS based upon Jewish sterotypes. (IrishKisses (talk) 04:24, 2 February 2011 (UTC))

Aha, see, there's a reference you could look for, a 1995 protest of some kind. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

The group doesn't exist anymore. It merged with another group and they didn't get a website until 2004. So there's no mention of events before then. (IrishKisses (talk) 04:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC))

If there's no reference in google to complaints in 1995 or whenever, it would be considered "not notable" and wouldn't belong in the article anyway. What google searches have you done? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:33, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the many Jewish references, that's already covered, and is easily verifiable since it's in the show. Controversies about the show are not in the show. That's where the difference is in verifiability. Regarding the Diana thing, presumably it was while Diana was still alive, and we'd have to know the context - as well as to find whether there were any notable complaints about it. The fact she died later is kind of an "oops", but there was a Seinfeld episode that talked about JFK, Jr., and he also died unexpectedly. Those things happen. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:40, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Clive Pearse

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Clive Pearse, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://web.archive.org/web/20101227093538/http://www.hgtv.com/clive-pearse/bio/index.html. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. CUPIDICAE💕 10:53, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
