:Seems like people are taking it personal, as if they [[WP:OWN|own the article or something]]? I can find many problems with the first episode you listed above. There are links to how to write a good article on an episode (if it can be done at all, as not every episode can accomplish that), and there are other places which any good WikiProject should link to: [[WP:WAF]] and [[Wikipedia:Notability (fiction)]] for example. There there is the [[WP:EPISODE]]. Plus there are are about half a dozen featured episode articles, and I don't know how many GA Season 8 Simpsons articles (however many in that season, as everyone is at least GA). The tag provides a link and explains what is going on. Wikipedia is not TV.com, and episodes do not inherit notability from their parents. Like everything else, you have to establish notability, the prime example would be professionals writing about the episodes (i.e. Reception section). If an article doesn't have that section then it doesn't meet the criteria. That doesn't mean it cannot, it just means it currently does not. Also, let me correct that the guideline is not proposed, it is sure enough a guideline. The only proposal we have is for the review process of each episode. The guideline has merely been expanded to give examples and clarified on several points that were a little vague in their definitions. There is also a tag for the parent articles to alert them to what is going on, and it should be used when tagging episode articles. This way it alerts the larger community to the problem.

::I have seen many crap articles saved at AFD on the basis that they could improve. I can't help thinking that time would be much better spent improving the articles and adding real world context than arbitrarily adding these tags to billions of articles (which can easily be removed, by the way). [[User:The JPS|<
:::The existence of crap shouldn't mean that we keep more crap. The point of the tags is to get people to search for the information. It's not like we can just go "Oh, Google, yep, there are the sources!" People need to find them first. If the tags are removed, they'll be readded like any other relevant cleanup tag. [[User:TTN|TTN]] 22:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
::::Yup, I agree that we shouldn't keep crap. I guess editors need to remember that the articles are not being deleted: they will still be accessible through the history. I'd be more comfortable if I saw evidence that certain people were helping to improve these articles rather than simplistically going through them like a bulldozer. Surely that is a more fitting task for the human brain. If tags are readded, then they can be removed again, so long as 3RR is not broken. This is a guideline, not policy. [[User:The JPS|<
:::::Once these go up for "review", we will help sort out any possible sources people have come up with. At this point, no work has actually been done, so there isn't much to help with, and if we could just go find sources, they wouldn't be tagged in the first place. "It's just a guideline" is a very bad excuse to ignore it. I would expect an admin to know that. Even then, a cleanup tag is a cleanup tag. You can't just remove them because you disagree with them.

== New episode assessment table ==
Hey all! I just wanted to direct everyone's attention to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage#Article assessment|new assessment table in the Episode Cover Task Force site]]. I've arranged for this task force to be included in the [[Template:Television]] so that we can rank the importance of television episode articles, thus having this assessment table. I think this will help us identify what episode-related articles are strong, which ones need work, and which ones might need to be merged/deleted altogether. As you can see, the table is really lacking in articles right now, but I plan to [[User talk:Xenobot Mk V/requests|make a request with the Xenobot]] to tag pretty much all of the television episode articles with the assessment category. I am in the process of working on that request now, and wanted to make sure nobody had a problem with it before I move on it. Also, I wrote the criteria for Top/High/Mid/Low importance on the task force page myself, but obviously that's not set in stone, so anyone with suggestions on tweaks or changes are welcome to voice them. Thanks all! — <b>[[User:Hunter Kahn|<
*By the way, my thanks to {{User|MSGJ}} and {{User|CBM}} for helping get the Template Television assessment stuff sorted out! — <b>[[User:Hunter Kahn|<

== [[Homicide: Life on the Street (season 1)]] ==
Hey all. Just wanted to point out that I've [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Homicide: Life on the Street (season 1)/archive1|nominated Homicide: Life on the Street (season 1) for featured article]]. I believe the article is comprehensive and ready for FA status. However, there has been very little in the way of comments or feedback, and I'm beginning to get worried it will fail simply for inactivity. If anyone can spare the time, perhaps you could take a look at the FAC? Thanks! — <b>[[User:Hunter Kahn|<

== Mother's Day (Rugrats) - featured article candidate ==
I've nominated the article about the episode [[Mother's Day (Rugrats)|"Mother's Day" (''Rugrats'')]] for Featured Article consideration. This article is on the Mother’s Day special from the animated television series ''[[Rugrats]]'', which aired on May 6, 1997. Comments would be appreciated, at '''[[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mother's Day (Rugrats)/archive1]]'''. Thank you for your time.

== migrate episode data and references to wikidata ==
Is it OK to migrate data and references for each episode to wikidata, for example, migrating each episode data from ''[[List of One Piece episodes (season 1)]]'' to [[d:Q43371394|
One Piece episode 1]], 2, 3, and so in wikidata?
This will make it be harder to monitor or watch the changes? As the episode list data will be broken into many items/pages in wikidata.

== Good Article Reassessment of [[Extreme Spots]] ==
[[Extreme Spots]], an article that you or your project may be interested in, has been nominated for an individual good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the [[Talk:Extreme Spots/GA2|reassessment page]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article.

== Parks and Recreation (season 1) Featured Article Review==
FAR coordinator [[User:Casliber]] has nominated [[Parks and Recreation (season 1)]] for a [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/Parks and Recreation (season 1)/archive1|featured article review here]]. This is a procedural review of its FA status due to the discovery of socking at its original FAC. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets [[Wikipedia:What is a featured article?|featured article criteria]]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. The [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|instructions for the review process are here]].<p> If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status.

== Redirects ==
Should redirects for the title of every episode of a series by created and placed in the category for those shows' episodes? For example, that was done for ''[[New Girl]]'' with articles for only a couple episodes but a redirect for all the others, as seen in [[:Category:New Girl episodes]]. Even for shows that have redirects for some episodes, I usually see them placed in a "Foo episodes redirects to lists" category rather than "Foo episodes" category directly.

Hi
I did a bit of work on redefining the refs since the search-engine has been changed.
Does anyone have the time to fix the rest of the refs in that list?

== Job Switching (I Love Lucy) ==
This page uses the episode "Job Switching" from [[I Love Lucy]] as an example of a top-importance episode, but it's a red link. I can't find the page [[Job Switching]] on the wiki, nor in AFD. Does this page need to be (re?)created, or should a different episode take it's place as an example? [[User:The Only Zac|The Only Zac]] ([[User talk:The Only Zac|talk]]) 17:05, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

== Categorizing redirects of episodes ==
Does anyone have any thoughts about the categorization of episode redirects in both a "Foo episodes" category and its "Foo episode redirects to lists" category? [[:Category:Scrubs (TV series) episodes]] (subcategorized by season even) and [[:Category:New Girl episodes]] seem to do that and I don't see many others that do. I figure a lot of this is just from the time 15 or so years ago when editors were trying to make articles for every episode of shows back then, and now they're all redirects.

== Proposal regarding season article naming ==
[[File:Information icon4 orange.svg|50px|left|link=]] There is a proposal to change the naming conventions of TV season articles from the current practice of <code>'''''XXX'' (season 1)'''</code> to <code>'''''XXX'', season 1'''</code> or <code>'''''XXX'' season 1'''</code>. As such a change would affect a substantial number of articles, you are invited to participate in the discussion at '''{{slink|Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)|Move TV seasons from parenthetical disambiguation to comma disambiguation}}'''. Thank you. [[User:InfiniteNexus|InfiniteNexus]] ([[User talk:InfiniteNexus|talk]]) 04:20, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
:Update: Please see '''{{slink|Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)|Follow-up RfC on TV season article titles}}'''. Thanks. [[User:InfiniteNexus|InfiniteNexus]] ([[User talk:InfiniteNexus|talk]]) 23:18, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
