List of trivia. If these spoilers are notable in some way, they would be better covered in the relevent film/book/game/etc. article. Korruski (talk) 13:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not delete this article. These spoilers are very significant spoilers. I've just started the article, so bear with me, still editing it to be a good article. http://www.object404.com (talk) 13:30, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOT and as a collection of trivia. Certain parts of the article appear to be a joke. ThemFromSpace 13:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

This is not trivia. This is a list of spoilers. How is this different from List of unusual articles?http://www.object404.com (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOT, and also be weary that the article is being linked from here--70.122.112.145 (talk) 13:50, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I submitted that to Reddit. So what?

So, this would constitute stealth canvassing --Korruski (talk) 14:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

• Which section of WP:NOT does the list of Spoilers violate in particular?http://www.object404.com (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a directory --Korruski (talk) 14:16, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

This page is an attempt to list the most significant & notable spoilers in media, literature & history. It is not an indiscriminate list, nor is it random. Such an article deserves existence, and if there are things wrong with the list, it can be remedied by proper editing. http://www.object404.com (talk) 14:20, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

• Keep. The article in its current form may have problems, but that's no reason to delete it. The topic is fairly encyclopedic as far as lists are concerned, and makes for a good, concise reference. Throwaway85 (talk)

A 'spoiler' is really just a significant plot detail , so this article is no more than a potentially infinite list of indiscriminate plot details which, I firmly believe, breaches WP:NOT. I would be slightly happier if it were, for example, a list of notable spoilers and covered spoilers which have received some notoreity of their own. For example, the fact that Vader is Luke's father, and the twist to The Sixth Sense have probably received enough independent coverage to be seen as 'famous spoilers'. Even then, though, they would be better off simply included in Spoiler (Media) --Korruski (talk) 14:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Funny you should say that, because this is terribly unencyclopedic. An article like "List of significant plot twists" might be good but not this. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 14:30, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
