Most of this article is simply repeated information and copied content from the main article (The Chosen (TV series)). It would not qualify for a split per MOS:TVSPLIT, and splitting never went through discussion. Copied content was not properly attributed per WP:COPYWITHIN as is required ([1] compared with [2]). The attribution issue was repaired ([3]), although the editor reverted the copied content comment during the AfC process ([4]), emphasizing the fact that the article as it stands is simply redundant. There is not enough content for this to justify an article separate from the already existing main article. It is marginally only "C" class (more likely "Start" class) and is unlikely to progress beyond that. ButlerBlog (talk) 16:50, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

De-merge and trim the plot summaries from the main series article and leave them here. Season 3's first episodes have been released, and if this information is to be maintained, per-season articles need to be done sooner or later. Jclemens (talk) 04:22, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to season 1's heading in the main article. I agree that the article doesn't warrant its own separate page from the main series, but I don't agree that this should be deleted outright as it could be a useful redirect. — Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 00:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: To be clear, the MOS point is not a stylistic one. It happens to be where the TV Project documents its guideline on when individual season articles are warranted, and how the project approaches individual seasons. We don't make season articles for notable shows just because a season exists; we make them because an individual season without the episode table has enough notability as a season to stand on its own apart from the show article. Most shows do not warrant an article for each individual season as the information already exists in the show article (as it does here, verbatim). Per the guideline from the project: There should be real world content to accompany any additional split that is not simply a duplication of the main page's content. This should not have been split from the original article. ButlerBlog (talk) 14:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Redirect to main page like Paper Luigi suggests above, as this appears to be the most rational choice. Not trashing on Jclemens but de-merging doesn’t look like a resolution IMO. Wolfquack (talk) 14:57, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
