Non-notable episode, no secondary sources. Magioladitis (talk) 20:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge. We really do not need to become episodepedia, since 99.9999999999% of all content in episode articles is basically reviews and plot summaries written direct form first-hand from personal observation of the episode.  Sources are vanishingly rare, other than for the broadcast dates. Guy (Help!) 22:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I was ready to shout at the nominator for not even considering a merge, but this entire article depends on imdb and tv.com. Neither of them is reliable enough to base an entire article on. - Mgm|(talk) 23:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge properly Comparing this with the summary in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 6) this article is at least informative enough to indicate what happens in the episode. Almost all of the one paragraph entries in the present summary article have the same failing: they say what the situation is, and stop. It's that which is TVguide content and fails WP:NOT. The plot has to be described so its meaningful, and trailers do not do it, nor are they intended to. That's why I am very reluctant to say just merge on articles like this, until we have some way of enforcing a proper merge.  (there is of course non-encyclopedic information in the present article to remove, such as the non-notable ones among the guest actors.) There is an intermediate path--but the fans want to give as much detail as possible, and the deletors as little as possible.  DGG (talk) 21:22, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. Notability not established for 1.5 months, and counting. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 6) has already got a summary. It's easier to come up with one or two new sentences for the LoE summary than to find a mergeable sentence from this article. – sgeureka t•c 21:58, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
