The only article of the authors recent contributions that contains substantive content. In short, there is no need to expand the individual episodes beyond that of a list, and this article is an unnecessary fork. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 08:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the relevant list of Law and Order episodes. This is a plausible search term, given that Wikipedia has established naming patterns for articles about television shows, and an encyclopaedia user might well extrapolate from that to look for this title.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  11:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Individual episodes of a notable tv show are certainly notable.  The nominator has provided no rationale for deletion. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  13:44, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sigh. If you wanted a bluelink to reinforce what should be a common sense decision see WP:EPISODE. Standard practice is individual episodes are only notable if notability is illustrated separately from that of the TV show. What with Law and Orders frightening amount of episodes, this doesn't cut it. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 14:05, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect. Notability is NOT inherited from the parent to the child.  Drawn Some (talk) 14:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as wholly unsourced and failing to meet the Notability guideline. —   pd_THOR  undefined | 16:01, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect. Episodes of major shows can generally be proven notable, but I don't think Law and Order has that kind of editorial muscle right now. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 18:14, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or possibly merge. I am startled to see an article nom. for deletion on the basis that it has substantial content. I can't really see that what other articles the author may have written have the leaat to do with the question at AfD.    DGG ( talk ) 03:11, 18 September 2009 (UTC).
