Mr. Monk Goes To The Asylum

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This episode of Monk (TV series) fails to meet the GNG or the interpretation of it given in FICTION. TV plot articles like this also fail the specific definition of WP:IINFO#1. PROD removed, so raising for wider discussion. Fæ (talk) 15:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: The article, unfortunately, shows no notability. However, if it can be proved (i.e. through a "Reception" section, or if something about it is particularly notable), I think it can be saved.  Also, there is an article (currently a redirect page) at Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum.  If this article is kept, or improved, it needs to be moved there, as there are many links in other articles that link there. Kevinbrogers (talk) 17:17, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Monk episodes. Plausible search term, should be redirected to the main article.--res Laozi speak  22:07, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would suggest that this instead be redirected to Monk (season 1) (if it is redirected at all). This way, the reader gets at least an episode description, rather than just who wrote it and when it aired. Kevinbrogers (talk) 16:10, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I remember the episode, but I don't think it really stood out as something that made real world news. In Wikipedia's early days, episode descriptions were being created left and right. Although many of these have migrated over to specialty entertainment wikis, tons of them are still out there, and a few clicks on the "random page" button will lead any new contributor to concluding that these are a regular part of Wikipedia.  There's a Monk wiki that can be added to.  While the redirect suggestion is a second choice, I don't see it as a plausible search term, since every episode of Monk was entitled "Mr. Monk _______", with the exception of Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk.  The most common theme was "Mr. Monk and the _____" and "Mr. Monk Goes to ______" was a close second.  Mandsford 15:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Monk_(season_1). Not notable on its own at this time. That way if it gets more coverage later the article can be easily restored. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
