WP:FANCRUFT. Just a list of "villains of the week" in chronological order by episode. Any pertinent information should be included in the episode or series articles. Rob Sinden (talk) 15:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Completely agree with the nominator's comment; this information can be included in the appropriate episode/series articles. This appears to be an example of fancruft and is more appropriate for a Wikia. I also doubt anyone will type in this exact title in the search bar so I do not believe a redirect would be particularly helpful in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 17:42, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yet another plot device article that's as it is on bad children's sitcoms, more appropriate for the show's Wikia. Nate • (chatter) 04:07, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It duplicates content in the articles for the episodes/seasons. Additionally, there's an element of original research unless references can be provided for the assignment of each episode to the "monster-of-the-week"/"mythology arc" category; the division isn't so clear or important that we need an index of this sort anyway, and it's not (as far as I know) done for any other show. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:41, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yes, otherwise duplicates content in the articles for each episodes. Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:52, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - personally, I liked these episodes, but we are not a web host. Bearian (talk) 13:33, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Shame, though. One of the better images (File:Thehost.jpg) that adorn a Wikipedia article. alas, it's still WP:FANCRUFT. --Guy Macon (talk) 02:30, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
