The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. — JIP | Talk 06:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The second episode of Seinfeld. The emerging consensus on Wikipedia:Centralized_discussion/Television_episodes is that not every TV episode is worthy of inclusion. It's fine to have an article for a very well-known TV episode like "The Contest", but there is nothing very notable about this episode. Andrew Levine 02:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: I'm no fan of individual episode articles, as I feel that it's far too granular for the bulk of them. Season summaries are sufficient for most shows, most of the time, and the stand-out episodes that had the world talking might need to be discussed as they, like people and events, produced effects outside of themselves. I.e. they set the culture to a new place. Merge/redirect would be ok, but I think that there are already season guides. Geogre 03:21, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Episode of a major sitcom series, we have similar articles on Star Trek, Babylon V, etc and I think such articles might be of interest to readers. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This isn't even a popular episode. Joshua Johaneman 08:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, episode of Seinfeld seen by millions of people. Kappa 10:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Article does not assert episode's importance, most probably because their is nothing important to assert. Contrast this with The Contest, which won Larry David an Emmy and coined/immortalised numerous phrases. Zunaid 12:33, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - 2nd episode is notable. 1st is usually a pilot, so the 2nd is the first "real" episode. Given the popularity of Seinfeld overall, this has to be kept. 203.122.225.241 13:31, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete (or merge into season article if that's feasible). TV episodes, regardless of the show, must really stand out to deserve individual space. It appears this one does not. — Haeleth Talk 20:34, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and delete to series article. This is certainly not big enough that this would be a problem, and only existing fans are likely to search for the episode name Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 00:30, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per above. I don't believe this could ever be more than a stub. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 01:20, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Being the second episode alone is not enough to make it notable. Turnstep 16:27, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge no need for own article AND no need to not have summaries.
- Delete. Only extraordinary single TV episodes merit their own article. Grackle 04:23, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
