Fails WP:NOTDIR. Simple mention in the mother article should do, methinks. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 15:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC*)
 * Comment - Since I'm the article creator I don't want to !vote, but I just want to state my opinion. Splitting of list of episodes from main articles in anime articles is actually a rather establish practice. Most articles on anime which are C-class or higher, especially if the article is already rather long, have separate episode lists. Why? It was split off because it was already creating undue weight in the Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Sure the article could have some cleanup (and could have some episode summaries), but AFD is not cleanup. And there are already two sources in the article anyway. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:24, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an appropriate split from the main article and is in keeping with accepted practice on Wikipedia. In fact, several episode lists have reached Featured Lists status (ex. List of D.Gray-man episodes, List of Myself ; Yourself episodes, List of Kaze no Stigma episodes). Also, these types of lists do not fit any of the excluded classes at WP:NOTDIR (loosely associated topics, genealogical entries, directories, sales catalogs, changelogs or release notes, non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations) nor does the nominator even attempt to explain how this episode list is similar to any of these. See previous AfDs of similar lists for List of Wangan Midnight episodes, List of Axis Powers Hetalia episodes, and List of Aquarion Evol episodes, all of which resulted in keep outcomes. —Farix (t &#124; c) 00:05, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - The only concern I would have here is Notability that being is there coverage in third party sources for this? I know Japanese anime differs from American Tevevision shows and wonder if it would be helpful to create a guideline for our project on anime series episodes that would explain what to keep or delete. (Wikiproject television has a page Television episodes) Maybe a new one called Anime episodes ? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:58, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment:Wouldn't notability be an issue for the parent article? If the show is notable, isn't notability of the content implied? Are you asking for third part sources that say "this show is made up of a series of episodes"? Shiroi Hane (talk) 19:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that a merge would not work and am asking for third party sources for the episodes, right now the only thing sourced is: "The OVA, produced by the Japanese animation studio Brain's Base and distributed by Bandai Visual was released between December 21, 2007 and December 19, 2008" Sorry to confuse im also making a proposal for when it comes to notability for anime series episodes. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:44, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep List of episodes lists are customary for shows, and the original article's apparently to long for a comfortable merge. Shadowjams (talk) 06:39, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep As stated multiple times above, a companion "List of X episodes" is very much common practice for television shows, especially in the case of anime where the source material is in -- and the main article is about -- a different media format (the main Kimi ga Nozomu Eien article is about the visual novel). This arrangement helps move television-only details like studios and broadcast dates out of the main article. Would it help if there were summaries for all the episodes? I've seen the series twice and have it on DVD and would be happy to add them, though I suppose they'd be deleted right away as "original research". --Invalidname (talk) 12:42, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
