Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is NOT the place for plot summaries, as these articles clearly are Corpx 03:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all per WP:EPISODE. These articles contain more than plot summaries of the individual episodes, including information on guest stars, creative staff and other production details. The actual plot summary portions of the S1 and S2 articles look to be of reasonable length. The plot summary portions of S3 for a few episodes could stand some trimming but that's an editorial rather than an AFD issue. Three season-length articles like this are preferable IMHO to 70+ individual episode articles. Otto4711 04:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all per above and WP:Notability (fiction); in addition to the short plot descriptions (easily under the usualy length of acceptability, as it's accepted that describing the show/film/book/etc often involves short plot summaries), these pages also contain a fair bit of description; information about the episode, director, writing credits, music content, etc., which are clearly what we're supposed to be doing in articles that include plot summaries as well. --Thespian 08:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all These season-based episode guides are much preferable to full articles on every episode with 20Kb plot summaries. --Canley 15:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per all above. Does not violate policy, similar to every other TV shows episode pages.  Gan  fon  16:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep it's an established precedent to allow pages about episodes. This definitely needs some reorganization and clean-up (as do many episode pages all across Wikipedia) but that's an issue for talk pages, not AFD. --JayHenry 18:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Infinitely Strong Delete I am voting delete because I feel bad that the delete side isn't getting any votes--Perceive 02:27, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep If wikipedia isn't the place for plot summaries there are hundreds, and probably thousands of articles that need to be deleted. Perhaps if it was a little known show, not in English it wouldn't belong here, but it is a well known show. user:Bassgoonist User_talk:Bassgoonist 14:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above Will (talk) 15:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per policy, WP:NOT. Articles could probably benefit from being split per WP:SS. Matthew 16:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - Something has to go. The first season has individual episode articles, which are duplications of what is on the "season 1" page. Since they all fit on the season page, and the subsequent season pages don't have individual articles (at least not linked so that I can find them), it seems the first season episodes should be merged into the season article and all the three seasons should be kept but massively cleaned up. Plot summmaries are not a reason to have a non-free image.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  17:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
