Despite all the work that's gone into this article, he won't rest until all sorts of valuable sourced information is culled from the encyclopedia. It's tiring to keep responding to these nominations. I could write pages on why all the nomination arguments are bunk, but frankly, I'm exhausted by this process. It really shouldn't be this much of an uphill battle to keep content on the encyclopedia.

I explained that certain people believed that Knowledge (XXG) should only be about a certain small subset of information. This was perplexing to my colleagues. They reasoned that the Internet was a big place and there should be room on Knowledge (XXG) for information such as this. I could only shrug in agreement. Let's end this destruction.

I also agree with Cyclopia's criticism of the "not inherited" argument: this is a subtopic split off from the main article, so the only question is whether there is sufficient encyclopedic information to merit the split off or if the main article can incorporate it.

This can easily be summarized in a few sentences and included in 1139:"The Fleming version was a highly-rated staple of daytime TV for over a decade. When it was canceled, it was still strong in the ratings, the network was contractually obligated to keep airing it, and the host and creator both desired the show to keep airing." 562:
