Fails WP:FICT and specifically WP:GNG sigcov and secondary sources guidelines. Only link attributed to WP:NWSRC is hand-keyed data related to article in Variety magazine, and googling article title, magazine and date does not produce a WP:RS to verify quote.

Topic significantly detailed in List of The Facts of Life episodes article. AldezD (talk) 16:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because of similar WP:FICT/WP:GNG issues: AldezD (talk) 16:27, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete both. These may have been important episodes in the show's story line, but there's no coverage that I can see in reliable sources.  Of course, it's a lot harder to find any kind of mention 30+ years later, but there's usually some kind of mention in Google Books or the Google News Archive.  I did find this retrospective on the series at Entertainment Weekly, which briefly mentions a few episodes.  There's also this brief critique of how the pilot tackled a tomboy character.  These sources are certainly promising, but there isn't really enough to go on for an entire article.  I think these sources can be used in the main article and the list of episodes to expand them without problem.  If someone locates offline sources, I don't see any reason why we can't recreate these articles.  Right now, though, I think they're best left to Wikia and TV.com, which aren't saddled with the requirement to find significant coverage. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
