Comment, out of interest Karnataka, why did you single out this episode for deletion when there is practically a dedicated article every episode of the series? The others that I checked at random all seem to be equally as lacking in notability or sourcing that maybe a discussion about the entirety of the episode articles would be warranted. For what it's worth, I don't see a reason why we need to have dedicated articles for the episodes, so I am probably broadly in agreement with you, and so I would wonder if an article per series instead, with a single sentence to cover each episode would be more justified.

@Bungle I completely agree with you - what I had done was bundle every single episode with the exception of the pilot into a single nomination, which turned out to be perceived as very silly to the point where it affected a request that I had made. So I instead closed that and nominated two episodes before getting busy, then nominated this one at a later date. I planned to nominate almost all other episodes separately after that, but I forgot. — Karnataka ^talk 17:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn’t seem to be notable. McFilet O' Fish Fan (talk) 23:50, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Upstairs, Downstairs episodes as WP:ATD-M. It's common to put a short plot summary or synopsis in those, but in this case they were split out in other articles. —siro χ o 10:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - As suggested above. I think it would be difficult to argue that this episode generated enough coverage that would justify an independent article. Dunarc (talk) 20:36, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
