[edit] Kenny Dies
Not an encyclopedic article, page contains nothing but a plot summary; no sources available. Dorftrottel (bait) 20:54, March 31, 2008 20:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep; I believe that certain South Park episodes were put up for AfD a while ago, and the result was keep. I stand by the same reasoning; all the episodes have the potential to become more than just plot summaries, and should you put this up for AfD, you'd have to put up about 80% of all other South Park episodes also. On a lesser note, I'd say that this episode is more relevant, as it contains a crucial plot line where one of the main characters dies, effecting the rest of the series. I would understand if it was another episode which was "little more than a plot summary" put up for AfD, but the events of this particular episode seem to make it more notable than most episodes. ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

- You do realize that Kenny dies in every episode, right? —BradV 22:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but if you've seen this episode and the one's that follow, you'll realise he actually does die in this, and is absent for many seasons afterwards until his later return. ≈ The Haunted Angel 22:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. I was able to find coverage in a quick news archive search and regular Google search also shows lots of hits to good sources that could be used in the article. A few of the reviews in secondary sources that came up were in Winston-Salem Journal, America's Intelligence Wire, and University Wire. Cirt (talk) 23:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Episode has been reviewed in multiple reliable sources and appears to be notable. I would imagine that most South Park episodes, given their shock factor alone, are probably the subject of multiple reliable sources.

- Update: Added some references, added a sourced Reception section, and a Further reading section and External links section. I'm sure that since I was able to find these sources relatively quickly that the episode has some additional coverage in other secondary sources as well. Cirt (talk) 23:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Consider it withdrawn by nom. I only wish AfD'ing wasn't necessary as an incentive to introduce sources which should be included on page creation. Dorftrottel (vandalise) 00:00, April 1, 2008
- Frankly, I agree completely. It seems that the only reason any sources were added were to stop the deletion - they should be added, on any article, much sooner. ≈ The Haunted Angel 00:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Is there something wrong with expanding an article and adding sources to it while it is undergoing an WP:AfD discussion? Cirt (talk) 00:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
