Not every TV episode needs an article, especially one that there are no RS reviews for. This TV series doesn't have an individual article for every episode, so that arguement for inclusion is invalid. In addition, the plot is already covered in the article on the show.

  • Keep With two episode-specific reviews from respectable sources in the Critical Reception section, and additional ratings information, it seems like the multiple sources needed to satisfy Notability requirements are met. It'd be nice if the reviews were used to provide more than a letter/number grade with some quotes, though. It seems like the nomination missed the non-plot section, but it's so small, I could see why. WikiPete18 (talk) 20:34, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect The two reviews are pretty weak; per WP:NFSOURCES—which is easily applicable here too—we should avoid plot summaries without critical commentary as evidence of notability. The AV Club reviewer calls his review a blog, and both of them seem more concerned with recording updates to the plot, rather than making critical commentary of any depth. The amount that could be drawn from the two reviews to add to an article would be of more value in the context of the season anyway, rather than keeping a whole article for the episode. — HTGS (talk) 22:27, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of Heroes episodes where it already has an entry. Unneeded CFORK, Fails GNG, routine entertainment synops do not demonstrate notability. I looks like articles are being created for every episode of the show, without regard to notability guidelines, once a few are deleted individually, a group nom should be made for cleanup.  // Timothy :: talk  06:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of Heroes episodes, where the episode is already listed per above. CycloneYoris talk! 00:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
