 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was  merge episodes to list. You'll have to forgive me for being slightly lazy and not performing any merging myself. A possible starting point would be substituting the episode articles directly into the list and then trimming. lifebaka++ 04:50, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

List of Island at War episodes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This non-informational LoE and the six episode articles



were copy-paste-spunout from the six-episode miniseries Island at War in March 2008, with no sign of article improvement since (regarding WP:NOT and establishing of WP:NOTABILITY). Per Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV serial) (a highly notable six-episode miniseries that is FA now), no individual episode article are necessary per WP:UNDUE (especially since the episodes don't even seem to be named), and the existing plot summaries should be trimmed instead. I have therefore restored the old episode summaries in Island at War (i.e. no GFDL issues) and recommend these spinouts to be deleted. – sgeureka t•c 20:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all All the information is rightly now contained within the series article. RMHED (talk) 22:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge the individual articles to the list and include the info on Island at War, article is quite long and could do with being split. --neon white talk 22:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Long plotty articles should be trimmed, not split. The episode summaries in the main article are (nearly) identical to the AfDed ep articles here, so no merging necessary. – sgeureka t•c 23:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's still common practcie to merge them to a single article. --neon white talk 22:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yet it's not common practise to replace the original with identical copies and keep the copies around. (Have a look at Island at War to see what I mean.) – sgeureka t•c 23:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into a single List of Island at War episodes article. Precedent has been set that where individual episodes of a series are not considered independently notable (examples include Star Trek and Doctor Who) then a single List article with brief descriptors of each episode are allowed and encouraged. I see no reason why there shouldn't be a "List of..." article, but I don't see the need to have individual episode articles for this series. 23skidoo (talk) 15:20, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as there are only a small number of them, but merge the entire contents, though possibly rewrite for clarity on concision of expression. The continuity between the episodes can be best shown in a single list in any case. But they should not be the inadequate length of the typical one sentence synopses, these are major 90 minute episodes with multiple plot lines. The appropriate amount of discussion is enough to understand the action and continuity and the developing roles of the characters. I recognize this is a question about content, but so is bringing the whole matter here in the first place. DGG (talk) 03:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
