There are plenty of episode lists with only the titles and a summary, why is this one different?--Shinnosukeandme (talk) 17:25, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree with Shinnosukeandme. There doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to delete this list. Lepricavark (talk) 21:36, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
keep Page needs some improvement but there is no reason to delete this article for being an episode summary. It's a legitimate spin out article and clearly too large for the parent. A case of bringing the article upto a better standard rather than deleting it. I'll also point out that it is an extremely new article so It's reasonable to expect those improvements to come.SephyTheThird (talk) 21:51, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Aoba47 (talk) 22:35, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The only reason to get rid of this would be if all the summaries were copy/pasted from another website as a copyright violation. But an episode list with only title and number is acceptable for the main article or spun out to the list article if it is physically too big.

Delete per WP:NOTPLOT. In response to Shinnosukeandme (who is also the article creator) stating "There are plenty of episode lists with only the titles and a summary, why is this one different?", WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies. Ajf773 (talk) 05:19, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTPLOT does not apply here since the article is supporting Chimpui which would need notability to stay around. MOS:TVPLOT would apply though. And adding more than saying it's a list of episodes would help give it context and notability. Was it broken into seasons or was it just one long season? How was it determined how long it would run? At some point it was allowed to continue on and on, past the usual 12-13 or 24-26 episodes of a "season" especially with 114 episodes. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:37, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Concise plot summaries of episodes are one part of what makes up good encyclopedic coverage of a television series. The brief plot summaries currently included in the list seem like appropriate content that we would want to retain. WP:NOTPLOT is an explanation of why the article is currently of poor quality and of how it needs to be improved (i.e., it needs more non-plot content added), but it is a reason to expand the article, and not a reason to delete it.

Keep as per other editors DarjeelingTea (talk) 10:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
