Space Cadet (Recess episode)

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Seriously fails to establish notability. Postcard Cathy 13:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete - article contains nothing more than what could be inferred from the title. So tagged. MER-C 12:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. A large number of stubs about Recess episodes have been nominated for deletion at the same time.  I would suggest combining these several nominations into one. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - no reason given as to why we should care. Moreschi Request a recording? 16:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an episode of a television series. It's pretty easily established that it could be expanded the same as any other television series's episodes can be expanded.  So it's a stub.  Stub isn't a reason for deletion.  At the most, redirect to List of Recess episodes pending further expansion.  FrozenPurpleCube 19:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete An article just telling what episode of a television it was on does not belong in Wikipedia, until it can get more details. ChaosAkita 21:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no serious bar to providing more information about this episode, it's merely a case of nobody bothering to do it. FrozenPurpleCube 22:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete A detailed reading of the discussion page at the centralized discussion leads me to the conclusion that there was not consensus for stub articles for epsodes, but rather for only general articles until there was sufficient material to break it out into session articles, and then eventually into ones for each episode. These articles are none of them even approaching the stage of individual episode articles.  The discussion frequently referred to school articles as a model, and I think its clear that discussions here are against individual articles until the material is sufficient. The bulk of the discussion was some months ago, and there were notes at the end that the consensus in the more generally interested WP community was moving against episode articles.  At any rate, it behooves us to state our independent views here.  I note that this particular articlew is one sentence long. Speedy as empty is my view. DGG 04:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - This should have been a part of a mass nomination along with Space Cadet (Recess episode), Stand Up Randall (Recess episode), Terrifying Tales of Recess, That Stinking Feeling (Recess episode), The A.V. Kid, The Barnaby Boys (Recess episode), The Bet (Recess episode), The Break Up (Recess episode), The Challenge (Recess episode), The Coolest Heatwave Ever, The Girl was Trouble (Recess episode), The Legend of Big Kid, The Lost Ball (Recess episode), The Principals of Golf, The Ratings Game (Recess episode), The Shiner (Recess episode), The Substitute (Recess episode), To Finster with Love, Tucked In Mikey, and Randall's Reform.  In defense of some of these articles, they weren't linked to from the episode list.  Basically, the ones that were linked to got improved, and the other ones didn't. - Peregrine Fisher 18:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:EPISODE. They should be marked with merge tags instead, to merge back into the parent article; if they get improved (as some have) they can stay independent.  A note to the closing admin, in case there is a decision taken on all of these at once for consistency: some of these episode AfDs have been closed speedy keep and some speedy delete.  See A Great State Fair for an example speedy keep and A Career to Remember for an example speedy delete. Mike Christie (talk) 12:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: correction, that wasn't a speedy keep; it was just a keep on which someone voted speedy keep. However the comment about consistent decisions still applies. Mike Christie (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
