[edit] Merry Fisticuffs (Gilmore Girls)

Merry Fisticuffs (Gilmore Girls) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A long, rambling play-by-play of the minutae of an episode of a television show, riddled with grammatical errors and misspellings, which would require a complete re-write to be useful. I cannot imagine a reasonable person expecting this kind of poorly written quasi-stream-of-consciousness drivel to have a legitimate place in an encyclopedia, and strongly believe that this kind of "article" reflects poorly upon Wikipedia.

• Delete per nom. I understand that there is a movement to establish guidelines for summarizing individual episodes of programs or entire seasons. Until such a guidelines is established, these articles should not be written and are merely nn fancruft. Soltak | Talk 23:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice. While current convention allows for reasonable summaries of episodes, long detailed play-by-play of questionable quality are beyond the pale.-- danntm ^T _C 02:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete without prejudice towards recreation, as with the other AfD. I'm generally in favor of episode articles, but this needs enough cleanup that deleting it and starting over is probably best. BryanG^(talk) 06:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• comment there is a general AfD for Gilmore Girls episodes going on at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/French Twist (Gilmore Girls)]. This page should probably be merged with that. - Peregrine Fisher 18:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup, just stub it for now. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Gilmore Girls episodes per WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information, which states "Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic." (Emphasis mine.) Fully agree with the "poorly written quasi-stream-of-consciousness drivel" assessment.
