TV episodes

Hi Sandtiger, thanks for leaving that note on my talk page. Sufficient evidence for the Will & Grace episodes' notability has been provided that I have withdrawn the nomination, and I'm glad to see that the Naruto episode article was redirected away by you today.

I'll just respond to some of the points that you raised anyway.

• WP:N may "only" be a guideline, but both articles at the time also failed WP:CITE, and, indirectly perhaps, WP:V. Sure, they may only be guidelines, but articles that fail one or both of them are usually fair game for an AfD. If the result of the AfD is that a non-verifiable article on a non-notable subject gets deleted, I consider that to be a positive outcome. If the result is that the article is merged into a more useful one, or that additional sources and notability are asserted, then that is also a good outcome! I would say that both articles are now in a better state than they were before I came along.

• I'm well aware that there are occasional exceptions allowed to all rules, but in this case I was not convinced that either article warranted having an exception made for it.

• WP:EPISODE is irrelevant to the question of notability, because it does not touch on what is a notable TV episode or what isn't. Guidelines do not override each other, and the notability criterion of "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." applies to all articles. Just as not every song by a notable band is worthy of its own article, neither is every episode of a notable TV programme important enough to have its own article.

• I do confess I picked some somewhat soft targets that would have reinforced systematic bias, but can you imagine what would have happened if I'd nominated an episode of Star Trek for deletion? =)

I share your hope that we can both work together in the future. We seem to have a common goal of reducing the amount of TV-cruft in Wikipedia, so I'm sure that there's room for us to cooperate in the future.

Best wishes,

WikiProject: CSI franchise

Sandtiger, I've seen you work organising episodes of CSI Vegas; I need similar help on Miami and NY (see project page for details). WP:CSI is still only in its nascent stages - it's just me at the moment, and I only set it up today - and I need as much help as I can get, as my wiki markup knowledge leaves a lot to be desired. Post back on my talk page or on the project page if you're interested. Editus Reloaded 16:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering

I've seen how you nicely put up that Naruto portal and was thinking if you'd like to help WP:DBZ set up the portal for Dragon Ball. It's still under construction, I'm considering a FAQ box, could be interesting. If you really don't want to assist or if you don't know much about Dragon Ball I can totally understand. If you have any tips that may be useful leave a note at the talk page or let me know. Cheers, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
