Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I love Community as much as the next girl, but not every episode will meet notability guidelines. This is one such episode. There is no information here that isn't already included on the main episode list. In fact, the episode list for season 2 contains this information plus a summary. I am gonna have to go ahead and request AfD. At this time, there is an insufficient amount of external content specific to this episode. Valid sources currently offer one of three things: plot summary, ratings, critical review/recap. Per Wikipedia's style guidelines for television episodes, in order to be considered notable, an episode article needs "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The MOS guideline for writing about fiction clarifies that "the subject's real-world notability should be established according to the general notability guideline by including independent reliable secondary sources — this will also ensure that there is enough source material for the article to be comprehensive and factually accurate." As with most individual television episodes, it is unlikely that these requirements can be met at this point.

I have considered merging - but as previously stated, there is nothing in this article that wasn't simply C+P from the main list. Redirect may still be an option, but that seems like an unnecessary step. In the main list, linked articles currently point to genuinely notable episodes in the series' history - leaving this episode as an internal WP link (just to redirect back to itself) seems too convoluted and is misleading at first glance. Deletion is a much better option in this case, as absolutely no new information will be lost. ocrasaroon (talk) 05:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I think there is a policy that WP is not a TV directory. Borock (talk) 12:15, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into season article there is no compelling reason to delete this stub or even bring it to AFD. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:54, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge or if indeed things are already entirely covered in the target, redirecting will suffice. Redirects are cheap and there is rarely a good reason to turn an article that can be upmerged into a redlink. Jclemens (talk) 00:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and nothing to merge. 97198  (talk) 07:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to episode list, and (obviously) unlink the link found there. That way, anyone who searches for the episode will find what they are looking for relatively easily. Kevinbrogers (talk) 00:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
