[edit] The Abandoned (DS9 episode)

Delete as this is a non-notable episode of a notable series. Gay Cdn 22:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• As the nominator, I am willing to remove my nomination - now that this 'unspoken' consensus has been spoken to me. The nomination was never ment to make a point, but the article looks way better then it did - thanks for the work. --Gay Cdn 13:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

• Naïve keep, but only because almost every episode in the series (which lasted about 180 episodes) has its own article. Since I never watched the show, I can't claim that one episode is more notable than another, but I'd assume per DS9 precedent that this article is as good as most. -- Kicking222 22:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep The problem with deleting an episode is that there are other series that have each episode as a separate entry. South Park is an example of this. Every episode has it's own article. If we deleted this episode, it might spark a precedence where we might have to go back through and delete a bunch of episodes of various shows. Targetter 22:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the pecedent is that episodes of notable shows are notable. This is debateable but AfD is probably not the place to debate it. Eluchil404 23:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - there's sort of an unspoken consensus that episodes of significantly notable enough shows warrant their own articles, if only because then WikiProjects Dr Who, Buffyverse, Firefly, Star Trek, and many others would have nothing better to do. If you want to start deleting tv episodes, I would suggest a new guideline instead of diving right in here. - Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 23:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per above regarding other series with pages for every episode. Granted though, this one does need considerable work, so maybe a cleanup tag would be more appropriate than a deletion Chrisd87 23:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As episode of a notable TV series. I cleaned it up a bit - but it could use further work. Megapixie 00:16, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. No reason to delete an episode just because you don't like it. It just needs to be improved. TJ Spyke 03:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above precedent. I did some wikifying, but it probably could use some more cleanup. BryanG^(talk) 06:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
