This article fails the Notability Test. Its one source is IMDB, which isn't reliable, because it can be edited by its users. The article even admits it. There's no reason why Wikipedia should have articles on Xavier episodes. Te question isn't if this will be deleted, but when. TBone777 (talk) 00:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Xavier: Renegade Angel episodes as a plausible search term (and merge a properly sourced summary for the episode if possible). In general, it is a bad idea to have an episode article if nothing more can be said about it besides its plot and general details. For a good episode article you also need info about production and reception which don't seem to be verifiable. IMDB is not unreliable because users can edit it. Last time I tried to submit something, they had an editorial team with standards. Unfortunately, they're fallible and get it wrong quite often; that's why the site is not reliable. - Mgm|(talk) 13:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to List of Xavier: Renegade Angel episodes per WP:NOT and WP:N (not surprising for a newly aired episode per Google News/Books/Scholar, but even the pilot episode's article doesn't establish any notability). – sgeureka t•c 16:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The "plot and general details" are important because they are intricate and difficult to catch when watching the episodes (which are in themselves rare and hard to catch). Production and reception sections will always come later, when the details actually have time to surface. If this article gets deleted, another will take its place in the future and you all will have forgotten about this. I hope. Anexperimat (talk) 01:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No, they're not important.  There's no plot; there's no story.  There's a reason the episodes are rare; it won't make it past 20 episodes.  If there was any notable reception, it would be negative.  Citing production is impossible with Xavier because, not only is the only site that even talks about it IMDB, there's literally no credit sequence.  There aren't full episode guides for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost:  Coast To Coast, Harvey Birdman:  Attorney At Law, Drawn Together, Death Note, Home Movies, or Robot Chicken.  What makes Xavier better than them?  At lest those shows actually make sense.  Once this gets deleted, no one will be stupid enough to make full episode pages for Xavier.  If no reliable Sources can be cited, Wikipedia has no place for it.  That's their official policy; take it up with the Administrators (who obviously don't know that this Debate is going on, as they would delete all of the episodes in a heartbeat).  I'm surprised we even have to have this Debate.  There's nothing "intricate" about Xavier; it's on drugs, racist, & retarded, and Wikipedia has no room for it.70.169.147.233 (talk) 07:14, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually List_of_Aqua_Teen_Hunger_Force_episodes does list some of its episodes have their own page. Not that its relevant.  With articles dedicated to episodes of a series, it doesn't matter if it has any references or not.  If there are enough fans around to protest, it doesn't get deleted, otherwise it usually doesn't have a chance.  There is no shortage of room on wikipedia, so no reason not to have an episode page for every single episode of all notable series.  What are the ratings for this series though?  Does anyone actually watch it?   D r e a m Focus  10:41, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, even with enough fans, articles get deleted. Although there are some articles for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, they're hard to find & not linked to List of Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes.  Wikipedia says that it won't accept any article for an episode without real-world information.  The extremely low ratings for Xavier are unknown; Adult Swim only publisches them for Saturday & Sunday.TBone777 (talk) 01:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect as plausible search term for series.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * delete non notable, unsourced, fan-cruft. No reliable sources means no encyclopedia article. It's also an awful piece of writing on its own.Bali ultimate (talk) 13:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to the episode list, fails WP:N by itself. RenegadeMonster (talk) 17:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete & Redirect: This is just plot. Ryan 4314   (talk) 15:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
