Various episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

These articles cite no source other than TV.com. The information from that site comes from a single person there, who has a "source" at Nickelodeon, whose identity he does no reveal. This is entirely unverifiable. Furthermore, the issue has been raised before with a delete consensus. See Articles for deletion/The Crossroads of Destiny, where the article was only recreated after confomation from more relible sources. I also feel obliged to point out that, in the past, several articles in this situation received WP:SNOW deletion based on the Crossroad's AfD, however, the tags I placed on these were removed by User:Pgk, and I decided taking it here would be more fruitful than arguing the issue. --Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 23:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmm, apparently the source has turned out reliable in the past (given that an episode was deleted and then recreated when it was confirmed..),so I'm not sure I understand the deletion reason. We may not have access to all of the sources, but it being reported somewhere is still verifiable information.  Even if the episode title were changed, I could see including the information in the retitled article.  I do wish you'd waited for a response from the page's creator though.  I see you messaged them about this AfD, but you could have talked first instead of going to an AfD anyway.  Then if you'd convinced them, they could have nominated it for speed deletion instead.  BTW, I don't consider the prior discussion to be precedent, participation in it was minimal.  FrozenPurpleCube 04:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep &mdash; on the basis of past precedent. But really all of this type of material should be up on wiki_trivia or wiki_tv_episodes. &mdash; RJH (talk) 22:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I missed the future episodes tag. Could these be merged into List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes as summaries of upcoming episodes? &mdash; RJH (talk) 22:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. These articles don't compare well in quality to the two main articles, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes. The articles for the individual episodes that have actually appeared are also very well done. Those listed in this AfD have practically no information and no reliable sources anyway. I don't see the point of merging because there is nothing here but a title and an episode number. EdJohnston 03:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ATTRIBUTION, not veriffiable beyond a leak. The Placebo Effect 23:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
