Blowback (FlashForward)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not every TV episode needs an article, especially one that there are no RS reviews for. This TV series doesn't have an individual article for every episode, so that arguement for inclusion is invalid. In addition, the plot is already covered in the article on the show.

 * Keep Ridiculous BEFORE fail, : EW, IGN, and Den of Geek. There are plenty more, but these are a 2 minute attempt at WP:THREE. Please withdraw this nomination and go fix the article by editing it to include the RS commentary that you were sufficiently sure did not exist. Jclemens (talk) 16:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Evidence appears to be that the nom was flat-out wrong and didn't conduct a proper WP:BEFORE. With several reliably soured reviews, the episode appears notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:52, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to FlashForward where it already has an entry. Nothing to merge, article is mainly unsourced fancruft. Unneeded CFORK which fails GNG, routine episode synops do not demonstrate notability.  // Timothy :: talk  06:46, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to FlashForward, where the episode is already listed. Article consists mainly of unsourced fancruft, as mentioned above, so no need for keeping. CycloneYoris talk! 23:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

*Procedural Keep User:Donaldd23 nominated 5 articles for deletion in a 6-minute period. They have a history of not doing a proper BEFORE, and they continue to break Wikipedia policy with these nominations. Nfitz (talk) 20:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * BEFOREs don't need to be done immediately before I nominate. I do a batch of BEFOREs and then go and nominate the articles, improve the article and remove the notability tags, or do nothing because I didn't find enough to either improve or delete. Where is the policy that I am breaking by listing these deletions all at once? Maybe you cannot do research on multiple items and then come back to Wikipedia and present your findings, but I can. Your rationale for Keep is incorrect. Maybe you should do a BEFORE and check my talk page where I have been THANKED for doing proper BEFOREs. Donald D23   talk to me  21:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I realise now that I was thinking of someone else. Now I look like a dick ... I'll withdraw my comment.


 * Keep That said User:Donaldd23, it's apparent from the GNG references Jclemens provided the day this was nominated, that it IS a BEFORE failure. And I find it ironic that you object to my (incorrect) comment, but ignore the proof already provided that this is a BEFORE fail! I'm puzzled why you'd ever delete this rather than redirecting.

 * Comment, a REDIRECT to the series or season page would be a viable WP:ATD Donald D23   talk to me  20:56, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Sources found by Jclemens seem sufficient, and there is a reception section. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:23, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
