 * Keep with conditions If the article is converted/transformed into tables similar to those found at The Simpsons (season 10), Lost (season 1), Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 8) and others, otherwise delete. If ST:DS9 had individual season articles I'd say move the tables into there and delete this page, but they don't, and I think it would be a bit much to have them all at List of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes.

 * Comment The previous AfD closed only a couple of days ago with no comments for or against. What's the point of renominating so soon? Dricherby (talk) 18:36, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Reply The previous AFD was opened and closed by the same editor and done in a matter of minutes. No debate. Would anyone seriously consider an AFD open for a grand total of 3 minutes a serious one?...William 18:54, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * So it was. Weird. Dricherby (talk) 19:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep DVD release information is an important part of the coverage of TV shows. In this case there is too much information to include inline in the article, so a spin-off article seems appropriate.  Needs work per Matthewedwards' comment above, but that is no reason to delete.

 * CommentThe DVDs are mentioned at DS9's article. The episodes are in a list article. What this page is doing is breaking it down. This is analogous to a editor creating a new article just to list the chapters of some best seller....William 18:54, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge a little bit to the main article. Much as I like DS9, there's no need to list the episodes and special features. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:10, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant to List of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes, the little info on release dates can easily be added to it. Wikipedia isn't a directory. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge: to main DS9 article p  b  p  17:53, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
