List of Stuff You Should Know Episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A large, poorly-sourced, non-notable list of links to individual podcasts. Fails WP:LISTN, WP:LINKFARM and WP:PROMOTION. - MrX 02:29, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Improve and Keep: As this article was being proposed for deletion, I wrote the following on its talk page: "I threw in a reference section and expanded the article to try to address the concerns. I think it is at least as notable as List of The West Wing episodes, for example, so I don't think we have to worry about notability. Each title is still linked to the page where it can be heard, however. This creates linkfarm concerns which could, I suppose, be gotten around with individual references for each, but this seems excessive."  There are plenty of lists of episodes on Wikipedia.  Why is this one not notable when the others are?  --Briancua (talk) 02:38, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERSTUFF. The West Wing is a critically acclaimed, award wining television series and its list article is abundantly sourced with independent reliable sources. It also doesn't consist almost entirely of a list of external links for downloading episodes, in violation of WP:ELNO.- MrX 03:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, WP:OTHERSTUFF is a fair point, but is your objection that The West Wing is a TV show and SYSK is a podcast? There are plenty of List of episodes on WP, so I'm not sure what the objection is to this one.  Is it that each is linked?  If so, we can delete the links without deleting the entire article.  What if the links were moved to the numbers, a la List of Judge John Hodgman episodes?  Would that satisfy you?  --Briancua (talk) 16:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)  PS - I have moved the links to the episode numbers in the 2015 season to give you an idea of what I am talking about.  --Briancua (talk) 18:18, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and add external link: We don't need this huge list of nothing but external links.  We're being used as WP:PROMO at this rate.  We can delete this article, and replace it with a link on the main article's page to the archive on their site.  We don't need to archive it for them. They already have one.

 * Once again, I will suggest improve and keep. I've done some work to improve it, such as adding the lengths of episodes, and began a year by year table at the top.  I would also like to add a summary cell for each episode in the tables, but I am hesitant to  invest a lot of time and effort into it if it is just going to be deleted.  I agree this list has issues currently, but I think it has potential.  --Briancua (talk) 14:41, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - Doesn't appear to run afoul of WP:LISTN or WP:IINFO and I don't think anyone is disputing notability of Stuff You Should Know. WP:LINKFARM and WP:PROMOTION and be fixed without deleting. ~KvnG 05:08, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
