Same problems as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Let the Angels Commit:"Tagged as failing WP:GNG. Does not seem notable outside of being an episode of Grey's Anatomy." Curb Chain (talk) 00:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No indication of wp:notability of/for a separate episode like this. Zero references. Looks like part of mass-production of articles on individual episodes with some material duplicated across articles. North8000 (talk) 04:10, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article (as for the other articles in the series) meets NOT PLOT: there are about as much unduplicated information about production elements as about the plot. W The source for the plot is as it should be the episode itself. The source for the production data is presumably the DVD jacket, but does need to be stated. Has the nominator or anyone looked for reviews or coverage of the episode in appropriate on and off-line sources? As the first episode of the 2nd season, it is a=particularly likely to have them. The criterion is unsourceable, not currently unsourced.
Nominating this many articles at once makes it almost impossible to find proper sources in the necessary time: it takes 1 minute to do a cookie-cutter nomination, hours of research to source an article. I consider these nomination therefore to disrupt the twin goals of deletion policy, which is to rescue what can be rescued and delete only the unrescuable--of which we have enough. Trying to remove articles like this makes it more difficult to deal with the many ones that do urgently need deletion . DGG ( talk ) 19:15, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These have been unsourced for over a year. If an article that needs sourcing is required, it can then be made (at that time). And I disagree that it requires hours to source. If it takes that long, it probably is not notable. If every episode was sourcable, does that make the episode notable? Although Grey's Anatomy is a great show, I see no notability come from every episode.Curb Chain (talk) 04:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is also not a season premiere.Curb Chain (talk) 04:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or delete. Article has existed for five years and has been tagged for apparently lacking notability for one year, but it still doesn't have any sources. This seems sufficient proof that either it is non-notable, or no-one wants to work on it to pass WP:SPINOUT. The episode list can take care of the plot and relevant production data just fine; anything else seems to be WP:PLOT, WP:OR and WP:TRIVIA. – sgeureka ^t•c 15:22, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep or Redirect to season article. With all the serial noms, I do not have time to check each one for notability. But even any that are not notable should be redirected to the season article per WP:TVEP. Rlendog (talk) 21:03, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Grey's Anatomy (season 1). Nothing about this particular episode is individually notable. See also my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/If Tomorrow Never Comes (Grey's Anatomy). Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 01:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
