The notability is still missing since 2009. I did search printed (Google Books) and online publications for IRS without success. I think it's time to remove. NeoLexx (talk) 13:59, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of The Outer Limits episodes#Season 6 (2000). There's no evidence that this episode is notable in and of itself. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 14:34, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this question already has been discussed, see this page. The short summaries of the episodes already are here. Krasss (talk) 15:14, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- "this question already has been discussed" — the linked discussion is about the separation of the original b/w series and the color remake in two lists instead of one. The current topic is about the removal of the "Simon Says" as a separate WP article because no IRS found in two years — a rather different question. A pretty much the same discussion is currently going at ruWP (in Russian) so the current consensus opinion of enWiki (if any exists) would be useful to compare.
- To summarize:
1. does enWiki consider the series notability as inheritable by default? Other words, if the series itself is notable enough to have its own article then any separate episode of that series is notable by default to create a separate article for it?
2. does enWiki consider the relevant IMBd record as an IRS?
3. To summarize the preceding two: if (the series X is notable and X[i] is an episode of the series and X[i] has its record in IMDb) then X[i] is notable for its separate article where a short summary and IMDb data added would be enough to not consider the article as a stub.

Redirect, finally. Wow, has it been three(!!!) years already? I merged all episode stubs into the episode list back then because ... well, read Talk:List of The Outer Limits episodes. Now looking back, nearly everything turned out true. These articles are still stubs and no-one wants to work on them. Notability might be there if someone looked really hard, I acknowledge that for at least some episodes, but per WP:SPINOUT there is simply no reason for wikipedia to have them as separate articles at this point. – sgeureka ^t•c 16:49, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, per User:Ultraexactzz and User:sgeureka's rationale. SaveATreeEatAVegan 21:00, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
