The Dream Stalker
Entry is unimportant stub without real informative or useful content. Insignificant except to fans of the show (and even then questionably so). Bryanmckay 06:14, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete even speedy this unencyclopedic zero.--MONGO 10:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Xiaolin Showdown as confirmed to exist. . Not notable enough for its own section just for an episode though, especially not one that reads like an advertisement. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 10:28, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: On the Xiaolin Showdown page there is this tag, "important: This article is becoming very long. Please consider transferring content to subtopic articles where appropriate." Maybe that's what the author of the dream stalker was trying to do?  WP:AGF Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 10:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. The Xiaolin Showdown page appears to have been significant trimmed since that tag was put up.  Also, nominating an article for AfD and whether article stays or goes has little to do with Good Faith or not.  AGF would have use put a friendly note on the talk page of the creator of this page informing him that it is up for AfD and why and welcome an explanation.  Putting up a newly created page for AfD is rarely a violation of AGF. Peyna 14:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge; I'm not really in favor of separate pages for episodes unless there's a lot of significant stuff that can be said about it; there are other sites out there to serve as thorough episode guides to TV shows. *Dan T.* 16:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep See no reson to delete, every other xialon showdown episode is getting one. J.J.Sagnella 17:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That's not exactly a good reason. If I go create a page for every member of my family, would that get to stay on those grounds? Peyna 18:55, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No. That's vandalism/self-proclaiming yourself brilliant. But the page List of Xiaolin Showdown episodes has red links to all episodes. Most are made, so really either A:keep them all, B;Delete them all. I vote for A, but having articles on SOME episodes and not others is just silly. J.J.Sagnella 18:11, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, TV episode seen by a large audience. Kappa 02:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - no sources cited, fails WP:V, even with sources, I fail to see how this is encyclopedic --  Dalbury ( Talk )  02:31, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You must have missed the bit which says "It's an episode of Xiaolin Showdown." Kappa 02:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. No, I didn't miss that. --  Dalbury ( Talk )  11:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * "Keep" How complete does Wikipedia want to become? This page has a rather detailed account of one episode. The main page has a terse summary of each episode, and links to pages for details on each episode. If you want to delete this, because "It's just a TV show", then you'd have to delete ALL episode detail entries from all TV series information, including all star treks, all MASH, etc. Not that that's wrong, or a bad policy, but if that is to be the policy, then you should make that the policy. (I do not know what the procedure is for determining Wikipedia policy). As long as that is not the policy, I see no reason for this page to be deleted. In other words: If "No episode details" is the policy, then delete this page for not meeting the policy. If that's not the policy, keep this page.
 * This article is more suited for www.tv.com or similar site than Wikipedia because the detail is overwhelming. Trim and merge as Xiaolin Showdown is not as notable as Star Trek, M*A*S*H, or Twilight Zone and even they don't go into all the detail as presented in the article in question. B.Wind 08:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It should also be noted that when this article was put up for deletion it was a mere sentence long (maybe two) summary of the episode. Even as it stands, I would argue that this has little place in an encyclopedia. How many encyclopedias have you found with detailed descriptions of television programming. The show itself is probably deserving of an entry, but each episode does 'not' need individual entries. The same should go for any television show, with the exception of extraordinarily important or ground-breaking episodes, IMO. Bryanmckay 20:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
