The format of the show is not notable, the shows themselves are notable. Unreferenced and I can find no sources for this. Ridernyc (talk) 21:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC) a[reply]

• Keep if this is a TV show and sources are cited. But rename.Steve Dufour (talk) 04:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article it's not a TV show. It's the concept that became I Survived a Japanese game show. As far as I can tell there is no show called Big in Japan. 11:18, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

• Comment. If there are sources that talk about the concept as a concept, then we probably should keep it. But if we just have examples of the show type, then the application of a term to describe them is synthesis, and we should delete. Not sure where I fall on this one, but I'll look into it.

• Merge to I Survived a Japanese Game Show, the title under which the show was broadcast. There is already a significant article there, including description of the Swedish, Norwegian, and Portuguese versions. Cnilep (talk) 21:06, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - It's likely this is the working name for the show when it was being deleveloped, but it was broadcast as I Survived a Japanese Game Show. This article has no references, and the show article actually has a format section that is better developed than this article. As such, I don't see any reason to merge. -- Whpq (talk) 18:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
