List of Barney & Friends episodes
Um, since I hate Barney more than Hitler? No? Ok, how about "not ecyclopedic"? brenneman (t) (c) 02:44, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have so many episode list articles that there is a well-populated category.  Mass media pop culture is encyclopedic under our guidelines and precedents, as long as it's approached in an encyclopedic manner rather than a fanboy perspective.  Postdlf 02:52, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that list out to me. No disageement about the validity of pop culture for inclusion, just of the merits of a list of this nature. Is there any reason these aren't merged into their parent articles? (Changing this into an unfortunate pseduo vote for merge.)  brenneman (t) (c)  03:07, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Length of the article is usually the concern for splitting these off, because these will typically have episode summaries added that would just make the main article far too long. In this case, given the current size of Barney and Friends, I'm fine with merging until the content grows enough to necessitate splitting back off.  Postdlf 03:27, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Besides length, I have also noted that FAC nominations tend to hit a brick wall if the articles are too list-heavy. If anyone wants to put the main article up for Featured Article status, they pretty much need to spin lists off into their own articles. 23skidoo 13:00, 13 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge with Barney and Friends. -- BD2412 talk 03:19, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into higher level article. I think it is reasonable to have this content in Wikipedia and since Barney and Friends is not too long (yet) there's no reason the episode list cannot live there.  I prefer to avoid splitting up information and I see no good argument for having this list live on a separate page from its parent content.   Tobycat 04:45, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Barney and Friends, as episode lists belong on the show's main page.  And I swear, one day I'll remember to sign more than 50% of my votes without having to edit twice.  The Literate Engineer 04:47, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Barney and Friends, as per Literate Engineer. JamesBurns 08:31, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and NOTE: I've expanded this list heavily and it now has 188 episodes (up from the previous 35) across 9 seasons. It's probably now too long to merge into Barney & Friends. TheCoffee 12:12, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep due to precedent and I think the list would make the main article too top-heavy. I'd rather see an episode list than an attempt at doing individual episode articles, though. 23skidoo 12:54, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I hate this Barney crap, but it should stay. Youngamerican 15:03, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Merging would make the main article bloated with episode names. Sam Vimes 15:08, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Barney and Friends.  Dcarrano 16:06, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It's too big for merging and could probably be expanded to include a synopsis for each episode, etc. Besides, you're only picking on this show 'cause its demographic is too young to defend it. I Boo you, sir! (Obviously within the terms of WP:NPA). Flowerparty 17:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Too long now for a merge and no one can say Barney isn't a notable figure =) Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions 21:02, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reasons for deletion are very unimpressive.  Moncrief 21:35, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per above royblumy 22:04, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Postdlf. I would suggest merging, but as per Sam Vimes & Flowerparty, it shouldn't be merged. --Markaci 2005-07-14 T 02:46:30 Z
 * Keep I have kids and I was looking for this information. It is useful and is popular culture. --Alvaro Ledesma 17:27, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * keep just because you hate something you dont erase it guy Yuckfoo 17:26, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep! Barney rocks and for those who need episode titles, they can get them. I Boo anyone who wants to delete this page. SonicHOG, Owner of Barney HQ message board 16:46, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
