List of Father Brown episodes

I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NLIST / WP:GNG. Possible WP:ATD would be merge/redirect to Father Brown (2013 TV series), but would probably unbalance that article. Boleyn (talk) 20:31, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep: This is an extremely common type of page that is used very widely on Wikipedia for television series with many seasons' worth of episodes. There's no way to establish that the concept "episodes of the program" is covered in reliable sources, as separate from the program itself. It's a notable show, and this is an ordinary split that keeps the article on the show at a reasonable length. Toughpigs (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, if a show is notable (and this one is), then it is perfectly acceptable and allowed to split off the episodes into their own page if them being on the page of the show makes it too large to navigate...which I feel like you are saying when you say that a merge would "probably unbalance that article", which it would.

 * Keep: I see you first tried to delete this page a couple of times, and were reverted. I have a little bit of experience in this area with both American and British television shows. I've made it my goal to source those episodes where I can find the sourcing. And I agree with the advice given above - if a show is notable, the episodes are split off, and often without sourcing.  These types of lists go way back to early television, where sourcing is often extremely hard to find. But that doesn't mean the shows were not notable.  It's just one of those phenomenons we have to work around, and source them when we can. — Maile  (talk) 21:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep If this episode guide is deleted then nearly every other guide would go. The summaries are short and only if individual episodes pages were created would you need longer plot summaries and ideally real world information. See MOS:TVPLOT REVUpminster (talk) 23:11, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Episode list for notable shows have always been considered acceptable on Wikipedia. A valid WP:spinout article.   D r e a m Focus  02:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, deleting episode lists of notable series would require a more general guidelines discussion, because this kind of WP:SUBARTICLEs have always been acceptable. Killarnee (talk) 01:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
