List of C.I.D. 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 "main episodes". — Fly by Night  ( talk )  14:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm perfectly okay with an episode list for even modestly notable TV shows, and "the longest running show in the history of Indian Television" is more than notable enough for me. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:38, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It isn't "the longest running show in the history of Indian Television." That's a case of false referencing. If you follow the reference given then you will see that it's the "...the longest running thriller series..."; which could mean anything. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  22:20, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - Issues can be taken care of by editing. no need for deletion. BTW, CID is the longest running Indian tv series of all types, not just thrillers.--Sodabottle (talk) 06:11, 24 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), except that it's partly badly formatted (a cleanup issue, not a reason for deletion). – sgeureka t•c 10:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
