Policy inconsistent with reality
It seems like the notability guideline:
"it is likely that each individual episode of a television series will not be notable on its own, simply because there are not enough secondary sources available."
is pretty commonly disregarded. For example, every episode of Modern Family Season 2 has its own article. This might be symptomatic of wikipedia policy being out of step with what readership is seeking, or it might be an example of writers and fans ignoring a policy and diluting wikipedia's quality. Given the widespread disregard for the policy, though, it seems worthwhile to debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C08C:A6F0:21C:B3FF:FEC3:2572 (talk) 13:32, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
IMHO I appreciate being able to see a synopsis for each episode although I tend to think they are too long. In general, I would think a one to two sentence description, similar to what one might have seen in TV Guide, is sufficient. Exception could be made for those episodes which truly are notable in and of themselves such as the Sammy Davis Jr./Carroll O'Connor kiss on "All in the Family", the coming out episode of "Ellen", final episode of "M*A*S*H" etc. GBrady (talk) 05:11, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
RfC on Game of Thrones episode Oathkeeper
There's an RS RfC on the Game of Thrones episode Oathkeeper talk page. It's about the use of a blog source to provide a backing for listing the chapters of the book upon which the episode was based. Participation (and fresh voices) would be welcome. Darkfrog24 (talk) 03:02, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Any point in writing a Lucy Show episode article?
I have not tracked at all whether TV show episode articles are frequently AfD'd successfully, and on what grounds. Wondering if there is any point to creating an article on a Lucy Show episode, absent any clear showing of it being distinctly notable on its own? (It was from a season for which she won an Emmy). The episode "Lucy and the Pool Hustler" is noteworthy as one of the few on-screen depictions of women-only pool tournaments and women doing well at pool, but I haven't found any external source that treat the episode as anything special. I'm skeptical than notability is "inherited" from a season down to article (i.e., that it's expected that every season article will eventually spawn articles for all episodes in the season). I've already written a draft of the plot summary, but I don't mind abandoning it if making an article on Lucy Show S06E13 would just lead to a deletion. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅ᴥⱷ≼ 03:14, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Bot to update lists of television episodes?
Has anyone thought about creating a bot to update lists of television episodes? Is there a place to ask for television series to have their articles updated? TeriEmbrey (talk) 19:03, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- P.S. Is their anyone interested in updating the Public Broadcasting System shows that air in the Chicago market? TeriEmbrey (talk) 14:22, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Which sister projects to put merely a list of episode titles?
Such pages must still be notable, and contain out-of-universe context, and not merely be a list of episode titles or cast and crew: Misplaced Pages is not a directory.
If Misplaced Pages is not a directory, then which sister projects should be the right place to put merely a list of episode titles? Is wikisource the right place? --Ans (talk) 10:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
