Delete all - Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, not an indiscriminate collection of information, not a database and not a trivia repository. No independent reliable sources indicate that the individual seasons of this series are independently notable and Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for the statistical minutiae of which buyer bought how many lockers and what their profit or loss was per locker or that one buyer gave another buyer a sack of fur coats he didn't want to sell himself. The only sources on any of the articles that aren't directly from the parent network are ratings data which should be at the main episode list. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 01:36, 20 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep all. Popular TV shows often have episode listings. The infobox television template has a specific field (list_episodes) just to link to a list from the main program article. The amount of detail may be excessive, but that's a matter for cleanup, not deletion. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:58, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There is a list article: List of Storage Wars episodes. These are not list articles as contemplated by that field and using that field to link to any of these articles would be an error. "Cleaning up" the "excessive detail" from these pages would amount to removing all of the "detail" beyond episode names and air dates, which makes them all redundant to the list article.

 * Keep all. As Clarityfiend stated, popular television series usually have episode listing pages. If you think there is too much information, Be bold and clean it up. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 05:24, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * "Cleaning it up" would leave nothing but episode names and air dates. Suggesting that separate season articles for episode names and air dates are needed is absurd. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 15:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep all - This is a typical list (per WP:CSC, etc.) except some of the financial info may be too much detail. Possibly all could be Merged, but that may be WP:TOOLONG. VMS Mosaic (talk) 09:32, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It is not a "typical list article". The existing episode list article is a "typical list article". These are trivia magnets collecting meaningless data. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 15:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Jerry, please go to WP:MOSFICT and chick on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series), then go to the 'Episode lists' section where if you follow the links, you will see an "exemplary" example of this being perfectly acceptable. There is nothing redundant or absurd here. It is simply how it is supposed to be done.  Yes, some cleanup of excess detail may be in order. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:50, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The difference of course is that each individual season and each individual episode of Buffy has garnered sufficient attention from independent reliable sources that seasonal and episode articles are warranted. That is not the case here and regardless WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is no justification for keeping garbage. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 15:37, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep all I can't stand any of A&E's reality shows, but they all have had the cultural and ratings impact to justify their shows having season articles. No different here; beyond some fine detail that can be reduced with talk page hashing out, there's no reason for deletion I see.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:32, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Please cite the reliable sources that indicate tat the individual seasons of Storage Wars are independently notable. There are no such sources? Oh. Please explain why the only information about these seasons that is independently reliable, the episode names and ratings, are sufficient to justify articles beyond the episode list. There are none? Oh. There is literally nothing in existence that supports these articles. But by all means, let's keep articles that are supported by literally nothing.

 * Jerry, while I am all for debating the proper application of the various guidelines (I am in such a debate elsewhere right now), we all WP:HEAR you, but WP:CONSENSUS appears to have been reached in regard to this type of situation at some point in the past.
