List of Home and Away episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article prodives little to Wikipedia and its useres. Has little to one source, is far to long, and does not meet Wikpedia's guildlines. B.Davis2003 (talk) 06:11, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't believe a list of indvidual episode names for a long-running daily soap is notable. Certainly non of the episodes are notable in their own right, with the possible exception of the very first and very last ones.  Lugnuts  (talk) 06:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I thought that the point of these "List of ... episodes" was to exist because the episodes aren't notable in their own right, but together they become notable. I'm not necessarily arguing for keep, simply saying that to delete this list would set a precedent that all similar episode lists are non-notable. Jenks24 (talk) 07:16, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Soaps like this that have over 5,000 daily episodes and are all named "Episode XXXX" without any exceptions do not need "List of" articles. Weekly series are fine, but daily shows certainly do not need them. I was thankful that there were no individual episode summaries with this, which I expected to see.

 * Delete - This is one of many unsourced lists created by what seem to be just fans of the serial drama. Other such lists for other soaps were removed a long time ago. It serves no purpose and doesn't educate any reader, all content that is notable is discussed elsewhere and is sourced. Rain the 1  BAM 13:05, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Regularly gets edited and is a useful list that is already compiled. Would that there had been episode summaries, it would have made the article more useful than ever. ReyRichard (talk) 21:45, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - So you endorse lists of episodes - but are you saying wikipedia should keep this mass of information that is all unsourced? Rain the 1  BAM 22:06, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Lack of sources is not a good reason to delete without even tagging the article as missing sources for even a short period of time first. I am not aware of any attempt to do so having been made here. ReyRichard (talk) 23:09, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:IINFO Nick-D (talk) 23:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Getting edited regularly (by editors adding the new episodes) and WP:ITSUSEFUL are not good reasons to keep this article. - JuneGloom    Talk  11:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete List is not complete appears to be just a list of dates, and an episode guide for a long running soap is not notable in my opinion (Ruth-2013 (talk) 06:40, 28 May 2011 (UTC))
 * Delete episode lists make sense for some television series, but not for soaps like Home and Away. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:40, 29 May 2011 (UTC).

So all in favour of deletion?B.Davis2003 (talk) 06:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
