So, You Want to Be a Vampire?

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A episode from a Comedy Central animated series (Ugly Americans). The production section is almost exclusively referenced to commentary provided on the DVD (i.e. a Primary Source). There is one reference to the Huffington Post, but it talks about Vampires in a general sense, relating it to the entire series not just this episode (although the episode is not mentioned by name it is hinted at). The reception section contains a reference to TV ratings for the night it was shown (one is also present for a previous episode). The final two references in this section make no mention of this episode either. I don't see how this can pass the WP:GNG. AIR corn (talk) 04:15, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The primary source in this case is the episode itself, not commentaries « which cite, comment on » (definition of secondary source on the page you mention). DeansFA (talk) 04:29, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * using that logic the description of the show on the back of the DVD case would also be a secondary source. AIR corn (talk) 05:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment The episode or its theme are mentioned in every reference cited, except for two; one to confirm the DVD's release date and one for the previous episode's ratings. You have to understand that the show uses a "monster of the week" style, so when the staff refers to vampires, they are referring to this episode. I have added more secondary sources and expanded parts of the article. Cheers, Pancake (talk) 21:06, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete and Redirect to List of Ugly Americans episodes. This episode does not appear notable for itself.--Cavarrone (talk) 23:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I really don't see any problem. — Status talk contribs  01:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the episode does not inherit notability from the series. It must be independently notable.  You haven't advanced an argument for keeping the article because you didn't address the nominator's concerns. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 07:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Why was this even nominated! ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 04:46, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Due to a lack of secondary sources that mention this episode, therefore failing WP:GNG. Why do you think it should be kept? AIR corn (talk) 05:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you read the nominator rationale? I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 07:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, i did. So will you ignore that big Production section? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 15:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of Ugly Americans episodes The episode does not have notability independent of the series, and for articles about specific TV episodes, notability is not inherited. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 07:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete (and redirect to episode list) - there is no significant independent coverage of this episode in any of the sources, only generalities about the series, so this fails WP:GNG. None of the keeps address that issue. I agree the title should be redirected to the episode list. Hekerui (talk) 09:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect After reading through the above comments, I think the article should be redirected to List of Ugly Americans episodes. Lack of significant 'independent' coverage is the main issue here, I think. Novice7 (talk) 15:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to series page. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:14, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
