List of Balamory episodes (Season 4)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is a bunch of headings with a lot of missing content (Wikipedia articles are specifically not placeholders) The lead is a bunch of self-references and the article lacks reliable, independent sources -- non exist. Delete (If it is kept for some reason it should be renamed "Series 4" rather than "Season 4" because the programme is British.) Mgm|(talk) 10:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC) 
 * The Deletion Policy does not include placeholders as a valid reason for deletion. Tagging as a stub is more appropriate. Citations have been added, which are more citations than are in the existing articles for series 1-3. Keep (I agree it should be renamed to "Series 4" rather than "Season 4", but "Season" is in keeping with the existing articles for the previous series.) Ectoraige (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment LocateTV and TV.com aren't reliable. The BBC isn't independent. None of them qualify as sources for an independent article. As for the title: Policy (like WP:ENGVAR and naming conventions) count more heavily than current status quo. In other words: we should use UK variant spelling on UK articles whenever we can. - Mgm|(talk) 12:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep as stub. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 23:02, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment What counts as a reliable source for TV listings? Looking at samples from other lists of episodes, I can't find any with sources that, if cited, meet the usual standard for reliable sources - TV.com are the most cited. The List of ER Episodes, for example only cites the episode guides of the programme publishers. Perhaps the editors can figure this out on the Noticeboard. Ectoraige (talk) 10:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
