List of MXC episodes

Unsourced, does not indicate notability. -- Jeandré, 2009-05-29t19:04z 19:04, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- As I understand it, a list of episodes of tv shows is a perfectly acceptable type of page. Not to go all WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS on this afd, but examples of other ones might be: List of Scrubs episodes, List of House episodes and List of The Shield episodes. Aside from the fact that they're different shows, I really don't see what makes this particular list any less acceptable than the examples. Umbralcorax (talk) 19:22, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Those articles all have third party sources, tho I've put a NoFootNotes tag on the Shield article. wp:v states "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." The MXC list has no sources, not even a primary one. -- Jeandré, 2009-06-01t06:02z

Delete - Although this type of list is perfectly acceptable and I usually endorse a keep in these instances, but, the purpose of a list is to bring together like information for navigation to the related, Notable, Articles. Everything on this list is a RedLink with (IMHO) little hope of claiming notability of the individual shows. I dont believe a List of Permanent RedLinks is acceptable. If even a few of these episodes had BlueLinks, I would prolly feel differently, but they dont. I would accept a Merge to MXC. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 01:47, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- if you look at the lists I linked, you'll notice a lot of them don't even have blue or red-links, just an episode title and description. So if the episodes were de-linked, as Peregrine Fisher suggests, why would that make it any different? Umbralcorax (talk) 02:06, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - The House list has a blue link for every episode, and mostly blue for the writers and directors. About 60 Scrubs episodes are blue links. The Shield list has only 1 episode link. Many of these episode articles seem to be poorly sourced tho. -- Jeandré, 2009-06-01t06:02z
Keep but delink eps. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 05:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a valid and verifiable subtopic of MXC that would be too large to merge into the parent article. Delink the episode titles if notability cannot be established for individual episodes. DHowell (talk) 08:36, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
