List of Adaalat episodes
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a directory. The article states only trivial things like episode number, episode title and date of telecast. The encyclopedic information usually found on such lists is missing, eg. TRP ratings, Writer, Director, Production code, etc. All editors who think this is a case where improvement is needed and not deletion please note that this information for Indian TV shows is almost never available and even if found is found from some unreliable fan-chat-forums. Why not just redirect it then? Well... the last AfD had non-admin closure (which i think i should have objected. The user who closed had voted in it and closed it just based on 3 opinions. Anyways! Bygones.) but some enthusiastic fan/SPA is back with same unencyclopedic page-filler. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 14:29, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 Keep- This serial is a landmark in Indian television serials. List is supposed to be kept along with main article but in no way deleted as many wikipedians refer this directory to get an indepth information of the serial. This is also a widely viewed Television Serial as can be seen in its Youtube Page. Alternative to Keep is Merge with main article of Adaalat. This serial is an encyclopedia in itself about many Law related aspects in India and its Justice system. Tall.kanna (talk) 12:22, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Landmark! Really?? Widely viewed based on Youtube hits? Encyclopedia about Indian law and justice system? All i understand from reading 48th episode's name was "Kissa C.M. Ki Secret List Ka Bhaag – 2" and it aired on 14 August 2011 is that 48th episode's name was "Kissa C.M. Ki Secret List Ka Bhaag – 2" and it aired on 14 August 2011. What law and justice system was brought to our knowledge? §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 13:49, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Delete - This is a directory. Firstly, Wikipedia is not a directory and secondly it states that Wikipedia articles are not directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business. For example, an article on a radio station should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. Same goes for a soap opera, it should not list upcoming and already aired episodes. -- Tamra vidhir (২০১২) 13:24, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Aadalat. It was redirected last time as there was nothing notable about it. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:25, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah! And that lasted for ever. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 11:03, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete No evidence that this satisfies WP:LISTN. Warden (talk) 10:40, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I would say redirect except I see little likelihood of this article being reached and it would be easier to simply delete. Ducknish (talk) 19:53, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
