Split television season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Entirely unsourced WP:DICDEF of a term, with no context provided (or even really possible) for why it would need an encyclopedia article. This is hardly an isolated phenomenon -- at a guess, at least a quarter of all television series that have ever existed at all have done this in some fashion or another, such as by going on hiatus and then coming back months later, or by being cancelled and then having the remaining episodes burned off during the summer rerun season, or by having shortened or staggered seasons due to the current phenomenon of experimentation in broadcast scheduling models. Neither the content (a recursive definition which basically "defines" the term by merely rearranging its own words), nor the complete lack of any sourcing at all, suggests any reason why this would need a standalone article rather than two sentences in Television show.

 * Comment this page explains the concept better than the (unreferenced) article. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 01:20, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've extended the article and while it could certainly be improved further, I think it's worth having. Mortee (talk) 05:33, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Totally non-notable term, deserves a mention in the TV season article only. GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 23:04, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak retarget to Television show as with Television season. There is discussion in the section Television_show. And it should really be discussed at that talk page whether a spinoff article fixed solely on split seasons should exist. Otherwise it's just an excuse to come up with a laundry list of shows that have split seasons or half seasons.  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:08, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
