The result was redirected  to McLeod's Daughters (season 8), as an editorial solution. This article was nothing but an infobox. None of the other episodes in this season have pages outside the season list. The redirect follows a fairly standard Wikipedia format for episode titles, so is not implausible (and redirects are cheap). There wasn't much discussion here, but there's really no need to let thing hang around another week. Non-admin action. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:44, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

The Show Must Go on (McLeod's Daughters)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No independent notability. Or content. Was refused speedy delete. Only finding torrent and imdb references to this particular episode. Series is obviously notable but not every episode is. Dennis Brown (talk) 12:15, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to McLeod's Daughters (season 8). This episode is non-notable, but redirects are cheap. Jenks24 (talk) 04:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm fine with redirects when they are at least plausible (and I'm generous in how I define plausible), but how many people would search "the show must go on" in any combination and instead be looking for this episode, rather than the song by Queen, or more likely the expression itself?  I know that redirects are cheap, and use them liberally myself, but is this really a case where it actually would make Wikipedia "better"?  Maybe it is a lack of imagination, but I can't see how, and think the opposite is true if you create redirects that only muddy the waters when someone is searching the site.

 * Apparently it gets a couple of views per day, so presumably there are at least some people who are interested enough to search for it. I agree that the large majority of people searching for just "The Show Must Go on" won't be looking for this episode, but anyone who actually searches for "The Show Must Go on (McLeod's Daughters)" will be. As it appears that a few people do this each day, it seems sensible to redirect them to a relevant article, rather than just saying that an article of that title does not exist.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
