List of Uninhabited Planet Survive episodes

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

Directory of unnotable fancruft of episodes. It is an indiscriminate list as the whole list doesn't say anything but give the name of the episode in Japanese and the air date. Tavix (talk) 03:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate list. Reyk  YO!  08:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but expand. My understanding is current Wikipedia policy encourages episode list articles of this nature in lieu of individual episode articles. 23skidoo (talk) 14:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:ITSCRUFT. Perfectly valid spinout.  I'm curious as to why this episode list, out probably hundreds, was chosen for afd.  208.245.87.2 (talk) 18:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The list is not indiscriminate, merely incomplete, and its base page Uninhabited Planet Survive is for a notable television series. --erachima talk 18:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and for the sake of all the gods give that thing a lead for context. And comment out the summary parameters that pad the table something fierce. As for reasons why keep, consensus is that an episode list is valid spinout material when the main article gets too large; even as it stands, its notability is implicit from the context of the main article. But as I plead, it needs that lead to make that context explicit. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I'll agree it needs work, and at a very least a link back to the article for the series it's an episode list of, but contrary to the nom's belief, precedent generally favors the creation of spinoff articles and lists in fiction-related articles, including episode lists for animes.

 * Keep, or would you rather see 52 seperate episode articles full of cruftiness, trivia, and blow-by-blow plot summaries that will never achieve anything remotely close to individual notability? I moved the list to List of Uninhabited Planet Survive! episodes (as the main article also uses an exclamation point), then added a short lead for context (and tagged it for expansion), broke the article into sections, and removed the completely unnecessary tag and Contains Japanese text template. Further cleanup and expansion is still desperately needed, but these actions have already vastly improved the quality of the list IMHO. — Dino guy  1000  18:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
