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

This article was previously nominated for deletion in 2008 (please see the discussion for the issues raised). Not much has improved since then, other than the addition of a table instead of a plain list. The article is still unsourced, so I'd say this fails WP:NLIST and should perhaps be merged to Is It Legal?. Spinixster  (chat!)  08:27, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Lists.  Spinixster   (chat!)  08:27, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per my statement in the 2nd AFD outcome. Nom makes no assertion that any effort was made to source or otherwise improve the article. Jclemens (talk) 08:36, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, but to be honest, is it still worth a separate article? Even with television series that have around the same episodes as Is It Legal, the episodes are kept in the original article (examples: Barry, Ted Lasso, Russian Doll, Never Have I Ever). I'd say a split is only warranted if there are a lot of episodes or if the article is too long (examples: Boardwalk Empire, Succession, The Mindy Project).

 * Did you start a merge discussion first and fail to gain traction? Or Boldly merge it and were reverted? You've already garnered one "delete" vote from someone who apparently doesn't understand NTEMP and ATDs. As a discussion, sure, a merger proposal is appropriate. As a matter of policy, however, the lack of sourcing as a fixable problem is not a justification for deletion. The topic is the show itself, so primary or trivial sourcing (e.g. summary, TV Guides, etc.) for each episode which presumably exists somewhere would be sufficient.

 * Merge with Is It Legal?. No sourcing whatsoever, just an external link to the British Comedy Guide, which is a British version of IMDb. The larger issue is that the main article also has no sourcing, just external links to sites Wikipedia does not recognize as reliable sourcing. — Maile (talk) 14:38, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Per nom, the show doesnt have enough episodes to justify having this page.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @OlifanofmrTennant Would you like to consider an WP:ATD and merge the list to the original page instead? You seem to be hinting at that in your vote. Spinixster   (chat!)  01:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge Per Spinxster. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:52, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Is It Legal? per nom. Fails NLIST.  // Timothy :: talk  16:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
