Line 178:
--Most of those sections do not have citations, yet I was not able to find discussion/dissent on their pages. On one of them, The Young and the Restless, it says "This section needs additional citations for verification." Why not include a disclaimer at the top of the GH section rather than deleting it entirely? Once again, I have watched the show since the late 1980s and found it factual, but the only citation I could give is "my memory," or "episodes watched during those years," but that doesn't necessarily make it automatic-deletion material.
--None of the deleted information could be found anywhere else on the Internet. I know, because I looked! I look to Wikipedia for information like that; it's entirely possible that a well-informed fan or someone in production wrote the section and didn't footnote it. The section was originally added on January 18, 2006, and some of the specific information about the theme music from the 1970s was added on January 24, 2006 (both according to the page's history).

:There's a major problem here. Articles at Wikipedia must be verifiable. That's a policy. Please read [[WP:Verifiability]]. The title sequences might be interesting to a certain section of fans, but they are not notable for an encyclopedia. A policy that goes hand in hand with verifiability is [[WP:Notability]]. If something is worthy of inclusion here, then someone should have written about in a [[WP:Reliable source]]. In this case no one has written about the various changes to the General Hospital opening sequence, or if they have no one has been able to find the work in which it appears. I'm going to be looking at the other articles you mentioned, and I'll likely drastically trim them or excise them completely.
