The Initiative (Buffy episode)/Comprehensive synopsis

 * — (View AfD)

This seems to be the only Buffy episode with a separate "comprehensive synopsis" article. I'm suggesting delete rather than merge because the standard format for Buffy episode articles looks to be a summary plus an "expanded overview" and this level of detailed summary is apparently not desired by those who work most heavily on the Buffy articles, not to mention being a violation of WP:FICT. Allowing for a "comprehensive synopsis" article apart from the main article on the episode would be a terrible precedent and a violation of WP:FICT. Otto4711 16:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into the main article. Just H 17:00, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * And your reason for a merge in violation of WP:FICT guidelines would be...? Otto4711 17:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That I don't particularly care about WP:FICT, since most of the "guidelines" on wikipedia are fairly arbitrary. I don't trust the consensus that made it so i'm going by my own opinion, which is what people should go by in AFDs IMO. Here the consensus made is much easier to see.

 * Speedy copyvio I think this article is a copyvio from as it is only slightly rewritten from that page.  FrozenPurpleCube 17:25, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per FrozenPurpleCube. Danny Lilithborne 20:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Changing to speedy delete because while my reasons are still IMHO valid the copyvio issue moves it to speedy territory. Otto4711 21:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - copyvio. If not copyvio still delete per the nominator's comments. Jayden54 21:57, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
