I see nothing wrong with Wikipedia being the first source to bring
together a group of facts from disparate sources (in this case from each
individual show) and publishing them together in one article.
Fundamentally, that's what _all_ of our articles are supposed to be.
Would there be something wrong with Wikipedia having a list of American
Presidential veterinarians (for the pets of presidents) that had been
compiled in a similar manner from an assortment of presidential
biographies rather than being copied from a single source?
And I agree with David, this really looks like you're just searching for
any excuse you can get to get rid of that list. Copyvio and OR are
almost diametrically opposed to each other as reasons to delete
something; copyvio means it's a direct copy of something creative that
someone else came up with and OR means it's something creative that was
come up with ''de novo''. They can't both be true. Accusing this
stuff
of being both in the same message seems like you're just throwing
everything against the wall to see what sticks.
