List of Figure It Out episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

List of episodes for a game show. The three sources present do not provide backup for the bulk of detail within the article. This is not a television series with fictional plot synopses that should be chronicled in an article, and the contestant talents and panelists appearing on episodes of a television game show do not meet WP:GNG.

 * Delete per nom, though I don't think GNG is relevant or helpful here. More a case of WP:IINFO, because information on individual game show episodes is really subtrivial and not instrumental to understanding the topic in the manner that fictional/dramatized TV series episodes are, a distinction the nom is correct in making. Game show episodes do not develop or advance the show in any way. Episodes that do stand out (introduction of a new game feature, special guest, etc.) are best noted in the main series article as part of its history. postdlf (talk) 18:22, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per a similar nomination for Articles for deletion/List of BrainSurge episodes, also a Nick gameshow that had the same problems as this article. Out of 250 episodes, not one cite can be found for this at all (three in article, but one is a cite for a YouTube video, and two are expirable PR announcements from the same site), Main panelists already appear in main show article, game show results are not extraordinary information in the least (either the panel figures it out or they get stumped), and the article creator has a history of adding content solely focused on overcrufting articles involving Nickelodeon. Perfect for Nickipedia or whatever they call the Nickelodeon Wikia, completely inane and unneeded here.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Just because it's a game show doesn't mean it's not important. It gives people the opportunity to see an episode's talents in case people missed the airing. Additionally, it even has information on the old Figure It Out, and I wouldn't have found out about it if it weren't for this article. - Amaury (talk) 07:19, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: I definitely agree with Amaury here on this. Besides, it isn't always the best solution to just delete an article because it revolves around a specific topic.--I&#39;m a Graduate! (talk) 01:39, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Chris
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. Whetever else can be said about it, this just seems unencyclopedic. --Michig (talk) 08:06, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
