Delete - a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:21, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you missundrestand what it means. This isnt a cross categorization. A list of television episodes that are a 100th episode which is closer to the list of episodes titled pilot. OLI 15:45, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a notable cross categorisation even in the slightest. Where are the sources that discuss this group of episodes as a whole? This is no more notable than, say, a list of 50th episodes or a list of 200th episodes of random TV series. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many shows make a point of having a one hundreth episode as opossed to fifty or two hundred OLI 04:01, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as there is a list for spin offs. There is also a article for the topic OLI 22:59, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A godawful spin-off of the American television in (year) articles, where these 'century milestone' episodes are noted and sourced appropriately to the year of airing...and these aren't. Presumably this was supposed to be a list of 100th episode articles where we do have one, before we decided episode articles should be better sourced to meet GNG than one Metacritic rating and AV Club review.

That second part of that doesnt make sense. The article is based off of List of television spin-offs I am working on the article. Could you please provide actual feedback to help improve it? OLI 03:28, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have begun adressing your concern and begun adding sources OLI 16:11, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What would help is realizing television history didn't start suddenly in 1998; this article is heavily bent towards recent series and this article can't hope to capture so many 100th episodes of so many series. You not only can't catalog every one, but there has to be some filters (for instance, daily news and talk series, daytime, late night...the 100th episode of a reality series isn't celebrated because it's randomly in the middle of some season/production cycle).Nate • (chatter) 23:01, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Im going to catalouge older ones I simply started by adding ones I know had 100 episodes OLI 14:11, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree that this is not notable per WP:NOR and WP:LISTCRUFT DonaldD23 talk to me 18:21, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How about it is converted into a catagory and will include several pages. I think this would be a good compramise OLI 19:06, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete LISTCRUFT, and an overall nonsense topic (will we now make 50th episode lists? 150 episodes?). AryKun (talk) 04:38, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think this was answered by another person. So if your going to make useless additions to the conversation here is what he said :::: Many shows make a point of having a one hundreth episode as opossed to fifty or two hundred OLI 04:01, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply][reply]
"Many shows make a point of having a one hundredth episode" No, shows celebrate their 50th and 200th episodes as well, if they ever get to that point. My concern is not whether shows celebrate these episodes, it's whether RS discuss series with 100 episodes as a group (they don't) and whether this milestone is significant enough for list (it's not). This milestone only appears significant in the context of American syndicated shows; if you started adding daily soaps from, say, India to the list, you would soon have several thousand shows with no relevance even in the places they aired clogging up this article.

Also, I agree that the concept of a 100th episode is notable, which is why we have an article on it. We don't need a list trying to just SYNTH together every series which has ever run for 100 episodes. AryKun (talk) 10:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 100th episode of what exactly? What is the scope of this article? What are the criteria for inclusion? Where has the topic been talked about as a whole? It's so vague; the list has little or no meaning. Rupples (talk) 16:54, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
