S&M Present (Robot Chicken episode)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Episode article with WP:N, WP:NOT combined with WP:LISTCRUFT issues, with no (apparent) hope for improvement because of lack of sources. Articles for deletion/A Piece of the Action (Robot Chicken episode) was a test AfD which ended in deletion. AfD-Heads-up at Talk:List_of_Robot_Chicken_episodes didn't result in any comments or proposals.

I am also nominating the following related pages (all RC ep articles for season 1) for the same reason

 * Merge all to the list of episodes, which is the general practice. I understand that you proposed this on the merger forum first and got nowhere, so this is the right place.  If there are any outstanding episodes that are notable in their own right (such as the Star Wars parody), then those could conceivably merit their own article.

 * Neo, there is no spoon. Mandsford (talk) 13:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So what is there to merge? (Your anwser would make it easier for the closing admin.) – sgeureka t•c 14:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, there's plenty to merge, and obviously it can't all go in. I see the problem that you're describing, since each show apparently has several skits.  I'd be in favor of the closing admin giving time for someone to salvage what they want (such as a comment to go with a particular episode).  Perhaps the episode list would be split into lists for individual seasons (apparently, this is Season 1).  I've never seen the show itself, but obviously someone who cares about the show created the individual articles.  I understand that when you say "nothing", it isn't the literal meaning, but rather as a synonym for what you see as "nothing worthwhile".  Perhaps you're right.  I'm not sure that it's all worthless, but if someone doesn't want to undertake the task of merging anything at all, the articles would expire on their own.

 * merge and this vis not the right place to discuss how much to merge or how to divide it (but FWIW, I agree with Mandsford's suggestion to go by season.) It is however possible that one or more might actually be notable, but I have not checked. DGG (talk) 17:31, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with List_of_Robot_Chicken_episodes. As to the reasons for deletion, please see Robot_Chicken for defense. Liobhain (talk) 00:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect, if anything. I just corrected one reason not to delete no more than five minutes ago, which proves that there is something to merge. DanTD (talk) 10:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
