This was given GA status in 2014 by, and would probably pass a GAR now. However, there are concerns with the notability of the subject (a trait not required for good articles). As it stands, the article's sources are mostly Tumblr. There are articles about the episode in magazines like The A.V. Club and Cartoon Brew, but these are a little too much like fan blogs for my liking. There is no coverage in mainstream media, and even the articles in the magazines mentioned could be seen as trivial coverage, as they seem to post recaps for all the episodes (cartoon brew and AV club). Hence, this episode appears no more notable than any other, and seems to fail WP:GNG. —  Quasar   G.  17:11, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep: I think that the sources mentioned by Quasar in the nom are sufficient to demonstrate notability. I don't see how a critic reviewing every episode of a season makes any individual review trivial coverage; it just adds to each episode's significance (e.g. every episode of The Simpsons is notable, and has an article, even though most are "no more notable than any other"). I've never come across Cartoon Brew elsewhere (though I do believe it to be a reliable source) but AVClub is certainly not a fan blog. Therefore, I believe the episode is notable, though only just about. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 19:20, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sites like The A.V. Club are perfectly fine to demonstrate the notability of entertainment. The Tumblr blogs being cited are official blogs being run by the creators of the show, which is why they're being used to cite behind-the-scenes info. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 16:37, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. If this were the BLP of an actor, then we should be concerned about the sourcing. We have bigger fish to fry. Bearian (talk) 02:39, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
