Delete: That's a minor reason to delete - the show being daily aired. But the article should anyways be deleted as it has no importance as such. The show is based on the Mahabharata and thats from where the plot comes. Also, the main article Mahabharat (2013 TV series) does have a plot summary which in itself is a short version of the original book. A separate list of episodes is thus just repetition of stuff. Also, for Indian shows, encyclopedic information like TRP, viewer's rating, episode wise criticism, production details, etc. are not available. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:00, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that an article falling under the WP:NOT is not a "minor" reason. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:54, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do not Delete: Although this article may go against Wikipedia policy, I do believe this article to be of importance as it is a great reference for episode synopsis to those who follow this show, but do not get to watch it during its scheduled time of air. Through this article, those who follow this show are able to quickly read the episode synopsis and then get to make the choice of which episode they would like to watch. I would sincerely appreciate if this article could stay, and am thankful of the person who provides updates to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohfinite (talk • contribs) 01:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is WP:NOTTVGUIDE. It is not our business to provide such a service, if the creator does not feel it worthwhile to appropriately catalog their works, we do not do so for them. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:39, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Knowledgeable for all of it's viewers, we also got same kind of pages for even anime. But we need a lot better sources for each episode. Bladesmulti (talk) 10:39, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
