Study Buddies[edit]

This is just a television episode plot summary. I doubt that it can satisfy any of the relevant requirements (WP:FICTION, WP:EPISODE). Yng varr 14:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, because it doesn't offer any external sources. As WP:N is a criteria for deletion, third party sources must be found to ensure notability of the subject. If consensus is to keep, it should be expanded per episode guidelines. — alex.muller (talkpage • contribs) 15:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as above. Doesn't offer any real verification of the plot, there are some sources available on the net 1, but they only seem to determine the existence of the episode with minimal plot summary. So it seems the rest of the content in the article may be orignal research with no reliable sourcing being able to be found. Rt . 15:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I am out of my depth here, but would like to note that 18 out of the first 24 episodes of this series (including this one) have their own pages. Many seem better than this one, but some don't. In any case, most or all of them appear to use the actual episodes themselves as primary source material, a perfectly legitimate practice per episode guidelines. This episode includes "real-world factors that have influenced the work or fictional element" and "a brief summary of the episode's plot" as suggested by the "how-to-write", but no "Information on production and broadcasting of the episode" or "how the episode was received by critics".

Delete. No claim in article of meeting the requirement of WP:EPISODE that "Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance." --Fabrictramp (talk) 23:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
