The result was redirect to Fred Figglehorn. Those arguing for keeping/merging don't really give a concrete reason why the content should be retained. Yup, we're going to IAR as ThemFromSpace said. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fred Figglehorn. Zhang He (talk) 23:32, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as it is. It would take up too much space if it is merged with Fred Figglehorn. NintendoNerd777 (talk) 00:39, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 16:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Fred Figglehorn. The list fails WP:NOTDIR as none of these individual episodes have recieved significant commentary in third-party sources. Instead of any bluelinks to notable episodes we have an egregious violation of our external links guidelines. I note that AfD discussions should be used only when the nominator seeks to delete an article, although I don't object to letting this discussion go ahead per IAR as its closure would create more bureaucracy than ignoring the rule.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. We should not be in the habit of listing these. We're not a directory of YouTube cruft. No thanks. JBsupreme (talk) 09:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying to delete it, just because you don't like the show, or because its from YouTube? That isn't a valid reason to delete. If it was on television, would you feel differently about it? Dream Focus 18:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Wikipedia is for everyone. It doesn't matter if we don't like something - even if it originates on YouTube - we should still give it proper attention. If people believe that it should be up then let it be so. What, will we run out of space? Also, it would make it the entry for Fred Figglehorn too cluttered. - Nedenchase (talk) 04:04, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. From what I can tell, only one of these videos has any individual notability (nominated for a People's Choice Award). That's 2% of the article. Someone could try to make the case for the notability of the entire body of work, but I just don't see it. ButOnMethItIs (talk) 05:41, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Should be merged with Fяed, not enough notableness. --Kei_Jo (Talk to me baby! :þ) 18:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's unclear to me why this content should be merged into another article instead of being deleted outright. ButOnMethItIs (talk) 09:44, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable shows on televisions get episode list, so why would it be any different for this? And the show does get news coverage. Its perfectly acceptable for a Wikipedia list. Dream Focus 18:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wong forum If I had seen this afd when it was first posted I would have speedily closed it. AFD stands for "Articles for Deletion" not "articles for merger" The proper way to propose a merge is to post {{mergeto}} on the article's talk page. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:10, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge relevant information - I don't believe that an entire separate article is warranted here. The relevant information should be merged into the proper article. Cocytus [»talk«] 18:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
