The Library (The Twilight Zone)
I can't see how this is an encyclopedic article. It reads like the back cover of a book. Perhaps it is. --Smoddy | &epsilon;&iota;&pi;&epsilon;&tau;&epsilon; 21:01, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, should probably go into a twilight zone episode list somewhere, though I have a strong gut feeling that this is a copyvio from meatspace. --fvw *  21:59, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
 * Keep but cleanup and a rewrite is needed. Star Trek and Doctor Who episodes rate their own articles, so Twilight Zone stories are just as worthy (especially on the basis that many of them are standalone classics). However this article needs a lot of work to bring it in line with other episode articles (for example I can't tell from this which of the three TZ series The Library comes from). 23skidoo 23:04, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * You could if you were to look at List of The Twilight Zone episodes. &#9786; Someone has recoloured a redlink.  Picking a handful of bluelinks at random from that page, I find that some, like Her Pilgrim Soul (The Twilight Zone), are reasonably decent, whilst others, like Button, Button (The Twilight Zone) and To See the Invisible Man (The Twilight Zone), are just as lacking as this one.  However, the former indicates that an article like this can be done well, without descending into describing fiction as if it were reality, as is such a problem with many science-fiction articles.  Either Weak Keep and send to Cleanup along with all of the other episode articles that are nothing but plot synopses or the teasers from listing magazines; or Delete to redlink to start again, since it seems that in this case we will only be losing a teaser, which has copyright connotations anyway.

 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 03:38, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't like the idea that television episodes should have their own article. Carrp | Talk 18:16, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
