The News (The Amazing World of Gumball)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Most of the episodes of  The Amazing World of Gumball  do not have an article. No significant coverage -- not in compliance with WP:GNG. It has poor references (only two). I should also mention this is one of the lesser watched episodes of the TV series. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 22:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * If there is support to delete, we should do a bundle deletion of the other episodes of this TV show that have episodes (they are by the same creator). P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 22:35, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

 * The Amazing World of Gumball is popular enough to get an article for every episode, which I have started to make. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 18:42, 29 June 2020 (ET)
 * I don't think it is, the show only got 2M views at best in Season 1. Most show that have articles for all episodes have triple that in the amount of viewers at best and usually have that amount on average (or more). P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 23:01, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * But what would be the problem with making articles on a few episodes? Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 19:33, 29 June 2020 (ET)

 * Comment: The notability standard is not measured by the show's ratings or popularity. It's based on independent reliable sources writing about the subject of the page — the individual episode. In this case, the two sources cited aren't very good. One of them is just the ratings chart, which doesn't even mention the specific episode. The other is a "listicle" that basically just lists the personal top ten favorites of someone who writes for a website. The list items don't talk about what's good about the episode, so there's nothing to work with there. I would suggest finding better and more specific sources before you try making more episode pages. I think start with finding reviews of the specific episode. Does anyone review Gumball episodes? — Toughpigs (talk) 00:22, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Well yes, of course, but if the TV show isn't popular it probably won't have very good refs (like this article) for each episode. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 14:28, 30 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect A priori, we can assume that it is unlikely to be notable. (Very few episodes are.) But the series is notable enough to warrant redirects to the season's article, in this case season 5. Aside from TAWoG, this user created articles for each episode of the YouTube series Freelancers, each of which is referenced only to the episode itself and a site that tracks views for YT videos. I'd recommend going straight to a bulk nomination of this user's creations, adding the following articles to the nomination:


 * Freelancers
 * The Amazing World of Gumball and Darwin's Yearbook
 * The Amazing World of Gumball and Darwin's Yearbook
 * The Amazing World of Gumball and Darwin's Yearbook
 * The Amazing World of Gumball and Darwin's Yearbook
 * The Amazing World of Gumball and Darwin's Yearbook
 * The Amazing World of Gumball and Darwin's Yearbook

 * I do concur, as said above it would be a good idea to do a bundle (I didn't do this initally b/c I wasn't sure it would be appropriate). P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 14:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment See Articles for deletion/Video Production Company for the Freelancers episodes. The Gumball ones can still be treated as bundled with this one. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 00:56, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Let's wait to bundle the Amazing World of Gumball episodes. It could result in a trainwreck if we do that. I think it would be a better idea to do that in a separate deletion nomination. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 16:43, 5 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete and Merge into the main page. As wp:ntele says, unless an individual episode has received it should be kept in the main article. I don't see the evidence here that it meets that or gng. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 06:35, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and Merge Gumball is a notable show, but this episode does not merit its own page. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:06, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
