Mind Games (Spider-man)

Delete as nom. Only a little bit better than its fellow submitted article, this is a non-notable episode of a cancelled TV series. Due the user apparently being more familiar with Spanish than english, the article looks like nonsense. Further, it offers little to no actual information, just "coming soon" messages. Wikipedia is not a TV.com or IMDb, though I doubt this contribution would be fit for even those sites. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 01:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Episode descriptions, cast and trivia are already at Spider-Man: The New Animated Series. Pomte 03:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Wryspy 19:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep' - per consensus episode articles are encyclopaedic, notable television series, and remember Wikipedia is not paper. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - There is a consensus that episode pages should be worked on, not deleted. - Peregrine Fisher 22:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I cannot imagine this would or should apply to any and all episode articles. Furthermore, this the only episode article related this cancelled series, and was made by a well...known vandal. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 00:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Get out of the old state of mind, people. These articles suck ass, no one will ever fix them, and they only encourage people to use Wikipedia as their "OMG" fansite of useless trivia. There never was a consensus to make articles for every episode because a minority can so easily make episode articles. Then people come on to Wikipedia, see that, and assume it was a thought out decision. It's not, it's just a big mess of "OMG, others have episode articles, we should have episode articles" misconception. Why can't we end this insanity? This episode is not notable on it's own, and does not need a dedicated article. -- Ned Scott 03:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete there is no concensus to create articles for every little episode ever created. Works perfectly fine in the list of. TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 03:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No proof of notability (Tv.com and IMDB list pretty much anything), no content, and fails wikifying in so many ways. Tiakalla 05:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: This page was nominated for deletion less than one hour after it was created. That's not enough time before deleting.- Peregrine Fisher 08:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Most like vandalism, bad articles should not be allowed to exist indefinitely. While I didn't feel this was a candidate for the speedy process, it was surely worth an AFD submission. Furthermore, as one user once told me, AFD brings problems to our attention, and rarely makes mistakes. If enzyme inhibitors had been submitted within the same timeframe, I'm sure it would not be deleted. This article, however, does not have same potential, nor the notability or interested editors. The author has abandoned it, and the only edit since—not counting mine—was yours. One edit, which has clearly done little to change the emerging consensus. I'm sorry, but you and Matthew are fighting the wrong battle. If a fictional character article like...Stiffler's mom is made and deleted/merged, articles like Batman and Supes still have nothing to fear. The deletion of inherently bad episode articles will not hurt or endanger good ones. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if the creator hasn't edited it since, or how many edits it's had. If it can be improved, and it can, then it should stay and be improved.  It takes a while to create a comprehensive television encyclopedia; deleting this page just makes more work for when it's recreated. - Peregrine Fisher 19:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but every single article theoretically can be improved to be something in the possible future. And although we are not on a timetable, there is no reason we should cripple wikipedia with these kinds of articles for current readability either in my eyes. There is a perfectly well working and well agreed upon method of avoiding this, which is to create "List of .. episodes" articles and expand from that if something proofs notable enough. It's an encyclopedia, not a factbook, nor a directory, nor a mirror of the web etc. etc. TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 20:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
