Daddy Does His Thing

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The episode alone is not notable enough for its own article. No reliable references exist for this particular episode. Disputed PROD. ItsZippy (talk) 11:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Added references to article from reliable sources. This is a historical episode within the canon of Bewitched as this was the last episode Dick York filmed and what happened, not unlike what happened to Curly Howard in Half-Wits Holiday. Is this episode any less important than, say, an ordinary, run of the mill episode of MASH or Seinfeld, which contain several individual episode articles? I can't see why this is bothering people. It is not based on a fan site philosophy and saying that the article was created to "puff up" the transition between actors is bemeaning to the actor involved. User:Lou72JG (talk)
 * Sorry, but none of those additions you made are considered reliable sources, and they aren't all even references, just links. Even if they were reliable, that wouldn't necessarily mean that the article's topic is notable. If this were one of a series of articles of Bewitched episodes, it MIGHT be worth considering, but it is clear you simply think this one episode is of particular notability. It is not. And there is nothing "demeaning" to any actor just because I said a certain episode of a series he worked in was not notable. Njsustain (talk) 11:36, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * IMDB, Turner Classic Movies, and TV are not reliable sources? Each of those links link directly to the page on the website of this episode. User:Lou72JG (talk)
 * IMDB is not considered a reliable source. The others are simply notes on an episode summary page. Hardly an authoritative take on the matter. As I wrote on the article's talk page, "Trivial notes added to episode description pages on promotional TV industry websites do not constitute reliable sources and certainly do not establish notability." That they "link directly" is completely irrelevent.Njsustain (talk) 11:20, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete. There is nothing notable about this episode, per WP is not a fansite philosophy. The article creator admits he/she thinks it is important because it is the last one in which Dick Sargent appears, but that is not grounds for notability of the episode in and of itself. Compare this to The Mary Tyler Moore Show which has only two episode pages (Chuckles Bites the Dust and The Last Show), but both of which are notable for gaining documented acclaim and Emmy awards. This Bewitched episode has no such notability.
 * Also, the material in the article is mostly repeated material from the show page and the episode summaries page, so there is no point in suggesting merge or redirect. This article was written to puff up the transition of actors playing Darrin. Though the transition was notable, it is adequately described in the show's article. Creating an article out of an episode in order to aggrandize the transition was inappropriate. Njsustain (talk) 06:59, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Information verified and confirmable, phrase not used in any other context.  The Dick York episode should likely link to it instead of simply saying "sometime during the fifth season."  Almafeta (talk) 08:39, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete: Not notable in and of its own, fine for inclusion in a list. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:04, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - and merge into main TV series article.  This particular episode is not sufficiently notable. --Noleander (talk) 18:27, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sign of notability other than the fact it was the "last episode with Dick York" according to the TCM source. Notability has to be independent, not just through simple association to another notable subject. — Arsonal (talk + contribs) — 07:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
