This article should be deleted before its content was previously deleted from Blue's Clues because it was deemed unnecessary. In addition, the content of this article has not been sourced. It is WP:OR, and most of the edits have been made from anonymous IPs. Finally, it was created by a known sockpuppet (User:Codybigbucksnowhammiesstop) with a clear agenda. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC) So let it be written  So let it be done  15:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The program is itself notable, so i don't see why an episode list is not. Is far better than the majority of list articles - at least the info CAN be verified. It's lack of cites does not indicate "OR" - does anyone contest the info is not true? IP edits are to be welcomed, not deleted.Yobmod (talk) 14:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Comment  Yes, I'm not certain I understand the rationale here. At the moment, this is a barebones list of episodes of this eminently notable show. Certainly, it requires expansion to comply with WP:LIST, but are we saying that there are no reliable sources for this information for a show that's this popular? My instinct is to !vote keep, but I see that the nom is herself a bit of a specialist in this area, so I'll defer at this time pending a bit of clarification. Xymmax
 * Thanks for the response. I agree with the others that sock allegations aside, the article itself is sourceable and can be made to stand on its own. If there are problem editors on the page, we can deal with that as a separate issue. I've updated my !vote to keep. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  19:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Yes, I pretty much rewrote Blue's Clues and got it to GA. Of course the program itself is notable, but I have problems with the intent of its main editor.  I suspect there might be some sockpuppetry going on.  The editor(s) of this article has never attempted to include reliable sources, even if it's from TV.com (which it seems so).  --Figureskatingfan (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I can't remember if it is explicitly stated, but I'm generally opposed to using AfD to settle issues of WP:OWN. Episode list subpages are perfectly reasonable for notable shows, and there don't appear to be any gaping issues with this particular article.  I have no reason to doubt the content, so even if RS are not included, they can certainly be found. -Verdatum (talk) 16:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep All content is sourceable and verifiable, and the article would be a helpful addition to Wikipedia. Mac Davis (talk) 16:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - could use some wikifying, but having an episode list for a well known show like this is not out of the ordinary --T-rex 18:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A list of episodes of a notable series is the norm. Hobit (talk) 20:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Definete keep, surely notable. Sunderland06  (talk) 21:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. WP:EPISODE recommends breaking out this type of information into a separate article for notable shows. Could use some editing and expansion, but those are not deletion issues.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  00:00, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - see WP:FICT's talk page for the sordid details. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 04:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Episode lists are generally within acceptable bounds for TV show coverage. -- Ned Scott 10:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lists (discriminate, encyclopedic, notable, unoriginal, and verifiable). Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 08:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
