The Great McCarthy

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Composed of plot summary and trivia. No reliable sources cited. No evidence of notability independent of the series. McWomble (talk) 01:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC) Note: User has moved the article. I am therefore adding: McWomble (talk) 03:18, 30 November 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete- unsourced plot summary is one of the great plagues of Wikipedia at the moment. THere is no assertion of notability for this article. Reyk  YO!  01:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Miami Vice episodes and/or Miami Vice (Season 1) appropriately. This is a pretty common situation. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 03:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the LoE/season article and leave the trim&merger to interested parties. The order of article creation is to look for sources and write an article on a notable subject, not dump plot on wikipedia and leave the harder cleanup work (figuring out notability, sourcing and mergers) for others. – sgeureka t•c 21:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep At the worst this would be redirected or merged to the list of episodes, so there is no possible reason to to a full deletion--at least none has been specified. As none of the arguments given are reasons to delete rather than merge or redirect, there's no valid nomination. I see no evidence anyone has even tried to look for sources, and there must have been reviews. The remedy for articles like this is to improve them.  DGG (talk) 04:21, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect The Great McCarthyto the list of episodes (and merge whatever turns out to be verifiable and useful). *Delete The Great McCarthy (MV) because the modifier is unwarranted.- Mgm|(talk) 09:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: is this a notable episode? Opposed merge/redirect, as merging to "List of Miami Vice episodes" would mess up the said article's format. That last bit was for you DGG mate ;) Ryan 4314   (talk) 05:19, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Move The Great McCarthy (MV) back to The Great McCarthy, after deleting the redirect at The Great McCarthy, to preserve edit history and to correct the improper title (even if a disambiguator were necessary, it should be spelled out, not abbreviated). Then redirect The Great McCarthy to List of Miami Vice episodes Miami Vice (Season 1) and allow interested parties to do any merging. DHowell (talk) 21:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
