AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article fails the Notability Test. Its one source is IMDB, which isn't reliable, because it can be edited by its users. There's no reason why Wikipedia should have articles on Xavier episodes. Wikipedia is not the place for just plot. We need real-world information, which is impossible, since there's literally no credit sequence. Hence, Wikipedia has no place for it. The question isn't if this will be deleted, but when. TBone777 (talk) 06:54, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment The nomination contains quite some assumpts and a lot of them are false. Most importantly: 1) IMDB is not unreliable because users can submit information, but because the vetting process by its owners is known to have led to inaccurate information being spread. 2) No credit sequence in the episode broadcast you've seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist. TV stations occasionally cut credits short to stay on schedule; it happens most often with Hollywood films, but it's not unheard of to do it in TV shows. 3) The last point also undermines the idea there's no reason to cover these episodes. Information about writers and directors and an episode's production is often released on DVD extras and there is no evidence you looked for such information. While the article is largely plot, it's not ONLY plot. - Mgm|(talk) 12:26, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The episode (or any XRA episodes) doesn't seem to be notable enough for its own article. Instead of deleting it, though, I suggest merging this and other XRA episode articles into a single List of Xavier Renegade Angel episodes article. Or, alternately, creating an article for each season of the show -- i.e. Xavier Renegade Angel (season 1).  Graymornings (talk) 12:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's too big to fuse into the episode list. Someone tried to make seasonal pages for Frisky Dingo, but Wikipedia only accepts them for long-runners, like Seinfeld.  South Park doesn't even have seasonal pages.  What makes xavier any better?  At lest South Park makes sense.  The only option is to delete it.TBone777 (talk) 01:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah. I somehow wasn't aware that XRA already had a "List of episodes" article. I've looked it over and it seems to contain all relevant info about the episode. I think we can do without the gigantic plot summary, so redirect to List of Xavier: Renegade Angel episodes.  Graymornings (talk) 12:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 00:08, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete and/or redirect to List of Xavier: Renegade Angel episodes as a search term. Violates WP:NOT, and no evidence is given that the article can be improved beyond a plot summary. – sgeureka t•c 11:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
