The Gift of the Woodi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable television episode. Nothing particularly plot-worthy (such as a first episode/finale or introduction of new characters) is included in this episode. Only four episodes of the total 270 for this show have articles, and this episode does not meet the significance of at least two of the other three.

 * Keep - This is the episode that introduces the Kelly song. Do a Google search and you can tell that lots of people know the song or want to about it. Additionally, in the past month over 500 people have visited the article. Perhaps the song should have its own article instead, but I think it makes more sense to leave it the way it is. Clerks.

 * NY Times considers it a memorable episode.Clerks. (talk) 20:07, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That's an article dated May 9, 1993 (not necessarily relevant in 2010), and includes a brief, one-sentence mention of the episode (plus one line of a song), and does not include any notation of why or how this episode is notable. There are likely many other lists like this from the time period in which the show was still airing new episodes.  Sottolacqua  (talk) 20:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Also it doesn't appear to be an article, it looks to be the archived version of a page of photos, I believe those were just the summaries of the photos (lots of archived newspaper articles online don't include the photos). Staxringold talkcontribs 20:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails the general notability guideline as a television episode. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:45, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Currently, as noted above, we only have articles for the first episode, the final episode, and What Is… Cliff Clavin? (an article with heavy ties to Jeopardy that have led to outside sources discussing it) which I created. What Is… Cliff Clavin? recently faced an AFD that I avoided (I created the thing years and years ago) and was honestly uncertain what the outcome would be. Editors confirmed outside sources to establish notability and satisfy GNG, however, the article was kept. Here I'm not so sure. The song which arises from it gets laughs, and people post it to video sites, but the episode itself does not appear to be discussed by any outside sources I can find.

 * Merge to a to-be-created season article. If no one wants to do that right away, redirect it to the show until such time as someone decides to. Jclemens (talk) 22:24, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Within a decade, all episodes will be rightly represented with articles. It is unstoppable. If you want to delete this article, you'd better get started { { AfD } } tagging these and these too. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to LoE because it's a likely search term. There's currently only the song bit that may be mention-worthy in the LoE, but it's not enough to support an article. The rest violates WP:NOT and WP:TRIVIA (the quotes). – sgeureka t•c 07:03, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
