Notability of Article is Questionable, per Notability and WP:GNG; there is hardly any reason to create an article to detail an episode of a magazine programme GUtt01 (talk) 18:31, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge or delete - Perhaps if a great many reviews were collected for this episode, it would be worth keeping. I'll do a quick search. But as is, none of the content on the page is usable or sourced, so until something proper is built, I would say merging to Top Gear (series 10) is best for readers.

 * Comment - I couldn't find significant coverage of the episode, though my google skills aren't infallible. These were the only sources I could find that weren't showtime listings with a synopsis - . and GTSpirit. Yvarta (talk) 20:54, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't merge this with the Series 10 article for Top Gear (2002 TV Series); the list in this article contain brief, short summaries, not extensive, detailed overviews of each episode. GUtt01 (talk) 21:08, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I meant to type redirect, not merge. But I agree with your assessment. Yvarta (talk) 14:13, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I just checked your sources, and found that one only provides a brief summary of exactly what is in the episode, and not what is detailed in the article under proposition for deletion. The other is hardly a good source, because it seems to list moments from the top 10 episodes of Top Gear, and features clips taken from their official channel on YouTube.GUtt01 (talk) 01:14, 31 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: If an article is for an episode of a drama, sci-fi, or fantasy show, it would be alright to keep it as long as it detailed the plot and provided info on the cast and production crew. This article is for an episode of a magazine motoring show. All times listed in it are described in other articles connected to the parent one of Top Gear (2002 TV Series); News will be outdated by now; Opinions and Criticism of a car should be part of its article on the site, under any information describing its reception. GUtt01 (talk) 22:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: There is no question in my mind about this. The article has little to no notability as a stand-alone page and has no references to back up even a single sentence in the text included within. As mentioned above, all details of importance can be included in the series summary article and/or pages of the cars reviewed in said episode. Aw16 (talk) 17:31, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. An article on a single episode of an entertainment show? Really? -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:04, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - We already have List of Top Gear episodes which is sufficient, No need to start creating individual eps. 01:13, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
