List of 1997 This American Life episodes

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

I do not see notability or an encyclopedia need for an unsourced WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of TV episodes. Wikipedia is not suppose to be a TV guide. Otr500 (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NOTESAL, as the entire body of work of This American Life has been commented on by many sources and we have many lists of television episodes for exactly this reason. Note also that the nominee is fundamentally confused about this being a radio program, but the point still stands: This American Lifes entire scope of episodes has been discussed in terms of themes, spin-offs, development, etc. To quickly find some substantiation of this that is already on Wikipedia, see discussion of the innovation of the programming, detail of reportage, and scope of work at This_American_Life, among others. ―Justin ( koa'vf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:29, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment You can't just nominated one of them without all of them at Lists of This American Life episodes.  D r e a m Focus  11:59, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep: Either nominate all or nominate none. Why? I Ask (talk) 13:14, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep no assertion of BEFORE conducted to demonstrate these as unsourceable. We keep list articles of all episodes per season on a ton of notable television shows--what's specifically different about this one? Nom doesn't say. Jclemens (talk) 20:44, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep this legitimate WP:SPINOUT. gidonb (talk) 04:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - but it needs to be reformatted into a more readable table, as per the general format for all these "list of X episodes" articles. Flip Format (talk) 10:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
