[edit] Time Bomb (Angel episode) and Five by Five (Angel episode)
These articles are essentially just a description of what happens in the show, written like someone recalling what they watched on TV last night. Such articles do not exist for all other Angel episodes, and aren't needed. Harro5 09:19, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Unfortunately, we have a precedent in countless things like The Initiative (Buffy episode). Maybe we need a policy here on individual TV episodes (like 'delete' the lot), or can I start on 3,000 episodes of Coronation Street --Doc (?) 09:37, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Wikipedia is not paper. Please begin the Coronation Street episodes, they have a very large audience. Kappa 10:13, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- There's already websites out there for this kind of fanboyism, but merging details of every episode would be unreasonable. Weak keep. Kappa, as you made the request, I think working on an article for every one of the Coronation Street episodes would be an excellent project that could really use your unique skills. I'm sure Doc would be more than happy to assist you. You could also create a series of articles on each incarnation of that ginger cat that appears on the credits - after all, a ginger cat seen by 13 million people a week is verifiable. Perhaps you could start a Coronation Street Wikiproject. Proto t c 10:53, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- I have no interest in Coronation Street myself and very little knowledge of it, so I will employ my "unique skills" elsewhere. Kappa 14:44, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Wikipedia is not paper, TV episodes are like miniature movies. CanadianCaesar 12:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment As wikipedia ages and matures, this stuff will probably be pushed out into a Wikimedia project (with of course a separate Wikitrek project). For now, though, there is no basis not to include individual tv episodes since the precedent has long been established that pretty much any crap, if it was televised, meets the standard for inclusion.

- Keep, as above. However, I'm a little worried that the discussion seems to focus on what we like as the criteria for what should be included in terms of pop culture. Trollderella 15:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep no good reason to delete.Gateman1997 18:07, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't think every single television series in the history of television deserves an entry for every single episode, but Angel is a notable series and has received a lot of academic attention (I say this as an editor of some Buffy criticism related articles.)

- Merge. An article featuring synopses of the episodes of a series of Angel might be a very worthwhile article. But I doubt the need for individual articles on every episode. Grutness...wha? 01:30, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, and why don't we have synopses for all the other Angel episodes? --Tony SidawayTalk 01:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. There is plenty of precedent for articles based upon individual episodes of series. 23skidoo 05:18, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep plenty of precedent for TV episodes; that this is the first is no argument. Xoloz 17:57, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
