Deep Down

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Deprodded with an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS rationale which we all know isn't valid. This has been nothing but miles and miles of unsourced fancruft, and I see no valid sources forthcoming. Rather than mass-AFD the episodes, I felt it best to try just one first. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:21, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment On the whole I'm inclined to agree with you that the majority of these episodes probably don't meet the notability guidelines. I removed the prod as I felt that afd is a more apt venue for articles of this nature. Though having said that, I really, really, really don't care if this article is deleted or kept.

Comment. Yes, the article is badly sourced. Seems to be a standard, as a lot of them have only two: Imdb.com and TV.com (broken). But a quick search on google with Angel+"Deep Down" gives more than 5 mio. hits. I've watched the show, but I have never attributed to a single episode article. If you want to get rid off them (maybe I would !vote for you), don't start with one of the geeks favorites, i.e. Buffy, Angel, Lost, TBBT or Dr. Who. Their fans have a high affinity to the net, means millions of sources for every single quote in it. It's like writing Star Trek is not notable in the Guideline, try it ... --Ben Ben (talk) 18:20, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Dismounting my high horse of indifference to actually venture an opinion. This article clearly doesn't meet the general notability guidelines. I could find no indication that this episode has been significantly covered in reliable secondary sources. The content would be better suited to imdb or a fan Wiki. Articles already exist that cover each season of this series, I think it highly likely that all (bar a very few) individual episodes would fail to meet the notability guidelines.
