Lost episode

This does not appear to be at all a notable term. The article is basically a WP:DICDEF, except with also WP:OR, and there has been no source I could that even talks about it in depth. The phrase may be used in a lot of shows, but that's no excuse to have an article about it on Wikipedia. 和DITOR E tails 19:03, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep I just did a search on the Factiva database, and found 1400 articles discussing "Lost Episodes"...so definitely worthy of a page. Deathlibrarian (talk) 03:18, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Pure WP:LOTSOFSOURCES argument. As I said, "The phrase may be used in a lot of shows [and news sources], but that's no excuse to have an article about it on Wikipedia." 和DITOR  E tails 03:30, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree, theWP:LOTSOFSOURCES argument only applies where the various mentions are "just the mere presence of the searched-for term". This is not the case here. In this case, there are many articles, of the 1400, that discuss the lost episodes in depth. The article aren't just passing references to "lost episodes"...the centred on discussing the lost episodes. Additionally, there are 600,000 hits of the term on Google (though some of these refer to the Program "Lost").IN fact, there is a page that just talks about *Dr Who* lost episodes here Doctor Who missing episodes - which would imply that certainly a page that discusses them generally is warranted, particularly if there are 1400 articles discussing them.
 * Delete - this article seems to be plain original research as there don't seem to be any sources available which cover this topic in depth. Simone 07:26, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article is a dictionary definition followed by a bunch of examples. I don't see that it can transcend this.  I see no sources covering lost episode as a concept.  I'll also note that many results are referring to episodes of Lost, the TV series.  Simply saying there are lots of sources without an examination of the sources is useless.  If such sources are as abundant as claimed, then it should be an easy matter to pick out 2 or 3 good sources and present them here.  I could find no such sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:31, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
