Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Goodnight, Seattle (Part I)

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was KEEP. I would support a possible merge once there is an article to merge in to. Also removing the (Part 1) from the title. Golbez 00:39, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Goodnight, Seattle (Part I)

Frasier is one of my favourite American sitcoms, but do we really need articles on individual episodes? Especially as badly wikified as this? Weak delete. — JIP | Talk 10:40, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per Wikipedia is not paper. Kappa 10:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Frasier is a major sitcom, and the individual episodes are thus notable. However, I would be all for merging all the episodes of one season together to one article if we have individual articles about every episode. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. As with Pokemon and every Simpsons episode, we need to consolidate. JFW | T@lk 11:34, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• I'd be in favor of merging by season, as Sjakkalle suggests, but at the very least merge with Goodnight, Seattle (part II) and however many parts it has. Or rename dropping the 'part 1'. Radiant_>|< 12:20, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
• In general I'd also be in favour of merging by season however it seems from List of Frasier episodes that there aren't actually many articles to merge and the list is useful as it is. So keep for now as I think it's best that Wikipedia keeps the content. -- Lochaber 13:47, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Frasier is a notable series, and the episode is a fairly important one within series continuity. Jasonglchu 15:08, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as there is precedent for individual episode articles for other series (Star Trek, Doctor Who). Plus Wikipedia is not paper. 23skidoo 16:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as long as there are some Wikipedians who are dedicated to create articles for every episode of Frasier. But if they are not as dedicated as the Star Trek and Doctor Who fans, then I might change my mind. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:11, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • If there is only going to be one episode guide for Frasier, it should be this one or perhaps the first. Kappa 23:51, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• keep' this please and continue the work at List of Frasier episodes. Yuckfoo 23:43, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per Radiant. JamesBurns 07:13, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base. Encyclopedias should not include TV episode guides. Indrian 03:49, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Seriously, didn't you ever read Wikipedia is not paper before commiting yourself to this project? Kappa 21:08, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • And in all seriousness, didn't you read the rest of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not before commiting yourself to this project, because it seems you stopped after the first entry. That something is true does not make it encyclopedic. An encyclopedia and a database are two different things. I have nothing wrong with episode guides of Frasier, but they do not belong in an encyclopedia. Indrian 03:23, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
