List of CID episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a directory. The article claims that the show has aired 843 episodes (unsourced info) and states only trivial things like episode number, episode title and date of telecast. The encyclopedic information usually found on such lists is missing, eg. TRP ratings, Writer, Director, Production code, etc. All editors who think this is a case where improvement is needed and not deletion please note that this information for Indian TV shows is almost never available and even if found is found from some unreliable fan-chat-forums. Why not just redirect it then? Well... the last AfD had procedural closing because someone had redirected it proving it does not work that way. Some fan is gonna come up and create this page with some punctuation changes again. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:58, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: Usually list of episodes are for famous TV series which provide plot synopsis and/or other details. If any information is worth keeping in the list it should be merged with C.I.D. (TV series). Samar   ( Talk  .  Contributions ) 18:56, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment as Samar has rightly said that lists for famous TV serials are kept. This particular TV serial is indeed a notable and popular TV serial in india also evident by the WP:SIGCOV it has received in the national media. despite the fact the Indian TV serials do not get much internet coverage owing to the WP:BIAS. The list of episodes which has the title is indeed encyclopedic and should be kept in my opinion. -- D Big X ray   11:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Would you rather suggest keeping it as a separate article and improving the content or merging with the series article? All editors who think this is a case where improvement is needed and not deletion please note that this information for Indian TV shows is almost never available and even if found is found from some unreliable fan-chat-forums. It might be very popular in India but one thing is true, there isn't much internet coverage of such shows/series which will prove its notability outside the country and provide reliable encyclopedic content.

 * as you can see I have not taken any stand keep or delete for a reason :) -- D Big X ray  20:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * None of those titles are sourced. One can easily slip in a 100 new titles of their own in it. Nor is the telecast date sourced. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 09:05, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well This information might be coming from a good source or a source associated with the show, and the editor might not be aware of importance of WP:V and references. I will post a template to the authors of the page as well. -- D Big X ray  20:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good luck expecting anything from them. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
