No significant coverage in independent reliable sources for this episode. Fails GNG and NFSOURCES. A certain editor appropriately changed this page into a redirect with the comment "not a single source" in the edit history [1].

Another editor then changed this back to a main space article with a comment to "AfD it" in the edit history [2]. I then prodded this article and the same editor removed the PROD tag and commented saying to send this to AfD [3] So here we are. Steve Quinn (talk) 21:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also confirmed the related Emmy. Artw (talk) 22:15, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, yes, AfD was absolutely the place to raise the deletion of this article. Probably a bit of a WP:BEFORE wouldn't have hurt. Artw (talk) 22:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a procedural matter, the nominator's PROD was improper: If anyone has objected to deletion at any point ever and no speedy deletion criteria are met, AfD, is the proper venue. Jclemens (talk) 23:27, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but Prod was done properly even if you don't think so. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 23:45, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Prods are for simple uncontroversial deletes only. The Emmy alone means you are out on that count. Unless you were just hoping it would sort of slip through…? Artw (talk) 00:55, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the sources above. I was the one who removed the redirect and the PROD because deletionists would rather remove content from Wikipedia than search for sources themselves. I waste so much time reversing incorrect redirects that its very frustrating. DonaldD23 talk to me 02:14, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Artw and DonaldD23. A TV episode with an Emmy win in any category should be automatically eligible to have a standalone entry in English Wikipedia. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:08, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. Unless there is a WP:SIGCOV discussion of this episde somewhere, it fails GNG. Winning an award is nice, but not sufficient to warrant a stand-alone article - a mention of this fact in the article about the show is sufficient. Common sense, most sources and people will remember that it was the TV show that won the award, not which episode was credited. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Which aspect of SIGCOV do you feel is not covered by the current sources? Artw (talk) 18:04, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
