Issues to be mediated

What is this dispute about? What sections, sentences, or issues in the article(s) can you not agree on? If you are the editor who opened this request, list these issues to be mediated under "Primary issues". If you did not open this request, you can add additional issues to be mediated under "Additional issues". The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Is there sufficient information to warrant the creation of an article?
2. Were any violations of WP:MOSTV and/or WP:TVUPCOMING existed?
3. Can the failure of AussieLegend and Favre1fan93 to respond to a request for dispute resolution be seen as a combined attempt to "own" the page? Their arguments on talk pages seem to indicate an attitude of "we wrote the guideline so whatever we say is right."

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Additional issue 1
• Additional issue 2

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.

• Chairperson's note: The third issue by the filing party will not be considered. Participation in any form of moderated content dispute resolution at English Wikipedia, including participation at Dispute Resolution Noticeboard and here at Mediation Committee is strictly voluntary and no editor is required to participate who does not care to do so for any reason whatsoever. Moreover, the issue refers to the conduct of editors, rather than to the content of an article, and editors' conduct is outside the scope of the Mediation Committee.

• Reject. Failed to satisfy prerequisite to mediation #5. I'll also note that the South Park (season 21) content dispute will become moot as the show premieres, but the underlying guideline questions will not. I recommend joining the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Television. You could raise the issue at WT:TV and WP:RFC as well. For the Mediation Committee, —Guanaco 18:52, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
