List of C.I.D. Special Bureau episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

The article is literally just a list of episodes. Far too many details and statistics with no explanation. As WP:EPISODE says: "Such pages must still be notable, and contain out-of-universe context, and not merely be a list of episode titles or cast and crew: Wikipedia is not a directory." I would suggest a merge, but the main article itself already contains extensive commentary on the "major episodes". — Fly by Night  ( talk )  14:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or turn it into a redirect until such time (if ever) there is sufficient content. Right now it's a list with no content justifying a separate article. QU TalkQu 22:10, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep The WP:EPISODE part cited above refers to episode and season (British series) articles, not episode lists. The C.I.D. LoE contains exactly what an LoE is expected to contain, a plot summary is not needed. I really do not see a difference with this list to any other LoEs (for mostly American shows). – sgeureka t•c 10:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * But WP:EPISODE says that these pages should "not merely be a list of episode titles", i.e. LoE pages should all go unless they contain "out-of-universe context"; which this article does not. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  12:54, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * As I said, the section you cite refers to episode articles and season articles (British: series articles). This is a list, not an article. And I've never seen an LoE getting deleted for fulfilling its purpose (i.e. listing episode titles). Also, episode titles, episode numbering and air dates already present "out-of-universe context". – sgeureka t•c 15:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
