Treehouse of Horror XIX

The page before contained a completely fake plot section. It is likely that such an episode will air (because there is an annual Treehouse of Horror episode), but absolutely nothing is confirmed. Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The current version doesn't have all the nonsense that was in the original article, but it's a hoax. Due to the writer's strike, articles about this season's upcoming episodes are questionable; let alone some idiot's ideas for next season's Simpsons episodes might be.

Delete. Yes, it is possible and probable, as it's become a tradition for Groenig and company, but words like "possible," "probable," and "future" scream WP:CRYSTAL. Wait till something is actually known before this is recreated. Redfarmer (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but in fairness to the editor who created the article this must not be classified as a hoax. Crystal-balling, yes, because XIX hasn't been announced yet as an episode. But the article clearly indicates that it's about a possible/probable episode, so that means it's not a hoax. Doesn't mean it needs an article yet, either, of course. I retract my earlier comment as I didn't realize the current version is edited down from an obviously made-up story list. But WP:CRYSTAL still applies to the current version, anyway. Assuming Wikipedia still allows episode articles come the fall, it can be recreated if and when this episode is produced and either officially announced or broadcast.23skidoo (talk) 19:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as crystal-balling. Like what others have said, consider re-creating the article when the episode airs and can be sourced. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 20:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete until details are announced. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN}^{play it cool.} 21:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Was recently reworded. I think that an annually occurring episode should have a stub. Compwhiz II^(Talk)_(Contribs) 01:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No episodes from next season have been announced yet. The article even says it: "potential name of a possible future episode". While I have no doubt that the annual episode will be back (unless this retarted writers strike continues for several more months), this article shouldn't exist until the episode is confirmed and a air date announced.

Delete per TJ Spyke and others. I'll note further that the series of episodes has its own article, Treehouse of Horror (series) (a Featured Article), where mention of upcoming episodes, trends, the impact of the strike, or whatever, could be mentioned. A standalone article for one episode fails WP:CRYSTAL, at least for now. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 02:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
