Horrible, unreliable sources. http://theinfosphere.org and Twitter pics are far from reliable, delete/redirect article til better sources are found CTJF83 17:52, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Both (a YouTube video with material from) the Futurama volume 5 DVD and Vulture from New York Magazine are referenced in the article. Did you overlook those, or are those horrible sources, too? Besides, I found that the Internet Movie Database states the original air date as June 23rd, not July 21st[1]. Wouldn't it be a little extreme to delete a complete article when only part of it uses horrible sources? I think it "just" needs a rewrite. Laricaney (talk) 19:32, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you seriously say this is a reliable source?! Also IMDB is user edited, so not reliable, so we are down to one reliable source, NY Magazine. I tried redirecting several times, but the user kept reverting me, and refused to discuss it, so here we are. CTJF83 04:03, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, if it's from the official DVD. I didn't know IMDB was user edited, but since NY Magazine also confirms the air date: " Vulture hears the second half of a previously ordered batch of 26 episodes ... is currently set to premiere June 23 on the network." However, it doesn't tell which episode will air first, so maybe you're right after all. Laricaney (talk) 08:42, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, guess I didn't realize it was from the DVD. However, that clip only references "A preview clip of the episode appears as a bonus feature on the Futurama volume 5 DVD as an "Exclusive Season 7 Sneak Peek"", which doesn't add much to the scheme of the page. So it comes down to nothing really sourced, because not sure how who ever wrote this, decided that this said Silence of the Clamps was the season premiere episode. So, we are back to nothing to sustain an article. CTJF83 17:21, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right. It's better to delete it. Laricaney (talk) 21:08, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Two editors do not consensus make - with so little participation, a relist makes sense. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 15:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
