 * Redirect To American Horror Story. While I agree with the nominator that this is not notable enough to warrant a standalone article (at least yet), it seems it's a plausible search term. Unfortunately this is a losing battle because most serial TV programs have expanded to create article after article about their episodes, regardless of whether they meet the standalone notability guidelines. A list of episodes by season with a very short plot synopsis is more than enough in almost all cases. There are exceptions of course, but this is not one of them. § FreeRangeFrog 22:22, 21 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Please allow the article. I agree it is a plausible search term as I myself came here tonight looking for it. I use wikipedia to look for plot summaries on television episodes and movies. I did so tonight for this episode. An article about an episode may contains information from ratings to actors to plot. As for reasons to keep it, it would aid those who are looking for this title in finding this versus an unrelated item. It would aid those who are searching for information about this episode. The article would aid anyone who finds it useful. There is too much information about each episode to put it on the main page of the series, as this series is very complex.

 * Comment - the major issue seems rectified, and deletion no longer seems particularly necessary. -- No  unique  names  05:03, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - While I'm unconvinced we need articles on individual episodes, we have them for many series, usually limited to hour long dramas or other non-sitcom shows. Seinfeld is a notable exception to this rule (we have an article for almost every one). As far as I can tell, despite a lot of effort, there's no single guideline on television episodes. This article, as it is now, is up to quality standards for most shows, and while I'm not certain references justify standalone notability, I'm quite willing to keep this one for consistency.
