 * Merge to Top Gear (series 10) unless someone can find some decent coverage--I was unable to find anything with a quick search, and I suspect that most episodes can be adequately represented in a list article. Jclemens (talk) 21:35, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree with merging this to the article you suggested - 1. The information in the article under proposal for deletion, is un-sourced. 2. The suggested article list the episodes for that series with a short sum, not a detailed overview of each episode. 3. Unless the episode consisted of a full-length, special film (i.e. Their trip across Botswana), or was a spin-off special made by Top Gear, there is hardly any need to detail out an episode from the show, when a simple Series overview article can provide a short, lightly detailed account of what the episode features (a short summary, in other words).

 * Delete: If the show was a drama, sci-fi, or fantasy series, detailing an episode of it in terms of plot and cast, would be fine. But this is an episode of a magazine show, and doesn't justify having a separate article about it, unless it covers something unique.  There are articles for specials of Top Gear regarding their polar race, and their race between 1940s vehicles, which have notability for being written, but not this episode.  Any times set by celebrities and cars put through a "power lap" are noted under other articles, and this site should not be citing the opinions on others about products; if cars should have opinions by critics, it should be on their article pages.
 * I further, do not agree with merging this to the article that covers Series 10, because the article lists the episodes in that series with a brief overview of what happens in it. GUtt01 (talk) 10:32, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Top Gear (series 10). This is a more specific target. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 12:00, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Redirect is always preferred over deletion however in this case redirecting is pointless on all forms - If we have this as a redirect then we may aswell have every single episode for every single series created too, I genuinely see no point redirecting, Anyway we already have List of Top Gear episodes which is sufficient. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:24, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- a non-notable episode. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:06, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
