Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Ed-Touchables

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was keep. However, a few other articles in this series have been listed for deletion and ended with merge consensus. Therefore, for consistency, I will (try to) merge this one to a new article: Episodes from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Season 1. Sjakkalle 08:42, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Ed-Touchables

MERGE I've looked at a few other animated series (ex1, ex2, ex3), none of which have every single episode wikified. Don't see it necessary to have a seperate article for each episode. At the most, list descriptions of episodes on parent page Ed, Edd n Eddy, as in example 1. Then delete/merge all the rest of the very small episode articles listed on parent.

Abstain: I defer to anybody participating in the Ed, Edd n Eddy articles, Wikipedia:WikiProject Television, Wikipedia:WikiProject Television episodes, and all of its decendants. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 10:38, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, the following animated series have have every single episode wikified: The Simpsons, South Park. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 10:45, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Response In those cases each episode is not one or two lines long in description, articles with little to no content are usually deleted upon creation, hence I proposed a merge.<> Who 19:25, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: um, you're not really meant to use Vfd for merging but for (obviously) deletion. Just rememeber to be bold and go right ahead! Alternately (as above), read up on what others have done. No vote. Master Thief Garrett 10:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Response Vfd is used for all purposes (cleanup, merge, del,wiki'd) as per Wikipedia:Votes for deletion.<> Who 19:25, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wrong. Read that page more carefully, and familiarize yourself with the various tools in the toolbox. There is more than one tool to use. Uncle G 18:13, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
    - I don't feel this is the right place for this topic, however. The second sentence of VFD states it is to be used for these options to reach a consenus. None of the other tools allows for consenus, they would just be stuck in a category. Also, since there are so many articles this vfd is covering, it's more sensible to propose it on the first one and not all of them, as they would all be deleted if the consensus was to merge or del. <> Who 18:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep TV episodes. There's a strong precedent for keeping them for even slightly-notable series. I've never seen this show (and from what I can tell, it seems pretty lame) but if someone out there is big enough of a fan that they can write knowledgeably about each episode, I see no reason to stop them.

- Response I agree, I proposed a merge, as each episode article is little to no content. <> Who 19:25, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Wikipedia is not paper. Kappa 13:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This article is not really up to wikipedia standards; it's largely incoherent and if submitted as essay work would flunk at any higher level than Grade 7. Keep if someone wants to cleanup, delete if not. Scimitar
keep TV episodes except in extreme cases (e.g. a show is cancelled after one episode--then the ep. title can redir to the show). Keep and tag for cleanup. Meelar (talk) 15:55, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, though generally if it doesn't get too long I prefer to see longer omnibus episode guide articles like Red Vs. Blue episode guide: Season 2. -- Lochaber 17:09, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Response I think that is a perfect example of how smaller episode listings should appear, as is what I am proposing. <> Who 19:25, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
merge into season page. Wikipedia is not paper, but information like this is better presented on one page. Sabine's Sunbird 00:44, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Sabine's Sunbird. AlistairMcMillan 13:46, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment FWIW, virtually all of this series' episode articles have been created by a (probably very young) "problem editor": User:Bobber1 formerly known as User:Bobber2. Some others have made some attempts to cleanup the articles, but apparently with little success. Whatever happens to this article should most likely happen to all of the episode articles.

Merge. I second S2's suggestion, although I suggest one page per season and then one for the holiday specials.—Quickbreak 01:55, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
