[edit] The Contest

An anon just created this article, and it describes an episode on a TV show. At the most, it should be merged with the article on the TV show- unless Wikipedia gives articles to every episode of a show? Flcelloguy 02:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and rename to The Contest. Many TV series get the article-per-episode treatment on Wikipedia, and there are already some for Seinfeld. In addition, this might be one of the most famous/popular episodes of the show – it's certainly one of my favorites. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:14, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Per Android79. --Xcali 03:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and rename as per Android. This was one of the most notable Seinfeld episodes. Capitalistroadster 03:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I moved it to The Contest, as this could be done without disrupting the vfd process. Wasn't this episode voted to be the fan favorite or something of that sort? -- BD2412 ^talk 04:29, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
• Keep Not only do I love this episode, its masturbatory theme makes it an arguable landmark in the history of US television. Xoloz 05:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- notable episode, even in UK --Simon Cursitor 07:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, needs expansion - personally I prefer to see omnibus articles of episode guides by season however if this was a particularly notable episode then I'd prefer to keep. -- Lochaber 11:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand per above, but rename the article The Contest (Seinfeld) as the current title is too generic and there are probably other episodes of TV shows that have this same title.23skidoo 15:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • There's no need to pre-emptively disambiguate the title. The article's first line clearly explains that the article is about an episode of Seinfeld. If and when someone comes along and wants to create The Contest (foo), disambiguation can occur then. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 16:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, expand, and rename as per 23skidoo. –DeweyQ 15:41, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, this could be the most notable episode of a very notable sitcom. ErikNY 18:10, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. NSR 20:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into a list of episodes. Not enough information to warrent independent article. Martg76 21:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I made this first and me and my friend are going to try and fill in as many episodes as we can each with their own link from the List of Seinfeld episodes
• Keep, add it to the growing list of Seinfeld episodes with articles including Male Unbonding, The Stake Out, and The Trip, Part 1. The Simpsons has an article for almost every episode and I envision each of these articles will have a uniform look with sufficient detail (see Who Shot Mr. Burns? for more details). We have to start somewhere. --Will2k 13:56, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but should the list of seinfeld episdoes page be linked to the seinfeld page concerning the show in general?--K zappa 19:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into a list of episodes. --Micahbrwn 05:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
