List of FLOSS Weekly episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is listcruft. This list of episodes fails WP:NLIST. The show, itself, is probably not notable so a list of episodes is unreasonable. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 18:21, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep (copy from the talk page prior to this deletion request) One of the most notable features of this list is the large number of luminaries in the Free/Open Source community that have appeared in episodes. Some quick examples: Miguel de Icaza, Randal Schwartz, Guido van Rossum, Eben Moglen, Jeremy Allison, Jon "maddog" Hall, Ward Cunningham, and many more. This alone should be enough to confer notability. However the thing that really makes it notable is the ability to see what other guests were able to be peers (in that they were also guests on the show) of the big players. There is certainly some subset (but definitely not all!) of these people/projects that are notable enough that they deserve their own pages, but have been missed by our community.

 * But this isn't a list of notable guests on the show, it's a list of episodes. The episodes aren't notable. Also, nobody deserves their own page. Wikipedia has articles about subjects; the subjects do not have Wikipedia articles. Notability is what WP:N says, not what you think it is. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It is very much a list of guests, they have a full column here, it just isn't how it is indexed. I would agree that without the guests/project columns this should be deleted. However, as I said before there are so many notable entries here that it clearly meets the criteria in WP:NLIST: "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable" Teeks99 (talk) 02:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete the list does not pass WP:NLIST. TipsyElephant (talk) 02:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete no evidence of notability separate from the show (if that's even notable) and is completely unsourced. This really is a no-brainer delete. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:15, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete – as others have identified, the list is completely unsourced, and even the show itself is of dubious notability. Tollens (talk) 07:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
