Does not satisfy notability for Television episodes, about time to be deleted. Trumpetband WIHTW? 15:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Almost all of the episodes in this series have been tagged for notability concerns. Why haven't they been deleted and redirected to the parent article or moved to List of M*A*S*H episodes, which seems misleading in itself, since it's just a rundown of the seasons?--Ispy1981 15:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Episode articles for television shows that have broadcast in any major market are pretty much granted notability per previous consensus. M*A*S*H is about as notable a television show you can come up with, and thus individual episode articles should stay. This is a candidate for cleanup, not deletion.

  • Keep, needs to be cleaned up, but otherwise from a Emmy Award winning show. Callelinea 15:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup I have been swayed. Someone needs to remove the notability tags and put in cleanup tags, though.--Ispy1981 15:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per User:Arkyan. Dalejenkins 18:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's generally accepted that if a show is notable, so are its episodes. M*A*S*H is one of the most notable shows out there; therefore, its episodes should be kept and cleaned up. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 18:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The article consists entirely of this: "A young Korean boy, apparently an orphan, arrives as a patient at the hospital and Trapper John wants to adopt him and send him to the United States. After he and a helicopter pilot rescue the boy from the middle of the camp’s minefield, a nun from the nearby orphanage arrives with the boy’s mother." All it needs is a tagline that says "Hawkeye:Alan Alda Trapper John:Wayne Rogers" and a beginning that tells me it's on channels 9 and 11 at tonight, and then you can say, "Wikipedia is not (snicker snicker) TV Guide". Funny how we can't stand a list of films about organized crime, but we love an episode summary that can be found on several different M*A*S*H websites. Mandsford 23:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep We don't delete articles on episodes of notable TV shows just because they are short. We call them "stubs" and try to improve them. Masaruemoto 02:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. JJL 15:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:NOT#PAPER and WP:SS. Episode is notable for simply being an episode of M*A*S*H. Matthew 12:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Only to allow the already established review process to do what it's designed to do. I  (said) (did) 22:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 15:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
