Ambush (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

This article presents no notability whatsoever. This has not been improved upon for nearly a month already, and the article does not show anything beyond copyright vios and has no encyclopedic value. I am also nominating the following related articles for the same reason - some moreso than others:

Merge all to List of Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes. None of them are inheritably notable, so merge tothe revelantlist. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:45, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Not sure how many of them are notable, but its probably most or all. Searching for sources on the first one, I found [1][2][3][4][5] - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 18:02, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I don't see why these should not be kept, when I see no deletion warning for Buffy The Vampire Slayer episodes, amongst numerous other TV shows. — Batou san (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep all without prejudice to someone who wants to merge them intelligently into good, season articles. Star Wars is a huge fictional franchise, with tons of secondary sources. The fact that these articles aren't in a good shape now says nothing about whether they can be improved into standalone articles. Based on my work with List of Veronica Mars episodes, I'm guessing that there's plenty of sources with which someone can make a great article, whether of individual episodes or a season summary format.

- My argument included the fact that the article has not been touched for a month. It is clear by now that the original creator has no intent to improve the article, and it does not seem as if anybody else is up to the job. As it currently stands, there is no reason why these articles should remain unless somebody fixes it up.--haha169 (talk) 02:43, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

kkThere is no deadline for improvement. What would have happened if we had discarded all Wikipedia articles that had not been improved for the whole time of an entire month at some point in their career? As for tis group, the summaries in List of Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes]] are too short to be meaningful--a combined listwould be fine, if it contained some intermediate amount of information.

Many stubs have an established notability, whereas in most of these episode articles, it becomes difficult to locate any production and reception information (which is pretty much required in articles based on fictitious worlds). Although the pilot episode seems to be an exception (I see that many media sources commented on the pilot episode in anticipation of the new series), a great deal of the episodes simply do not carry weight. They are pretty much written in a completely in-universe style with no encyclopedic value. However, I would not reject proposals to drastically minimalize most of the articles or simply redirect them.--haha169 (talk) 17:40, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all into relevant list article. As stand-alone articles, the episodes fail the general notability guideline. --TorriTorri^{(Talk to me!)} 02:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
IGN and TV Squad probably review every single ep, and theforce.net probably has production info for each. There are other sites as well, I imagine. You'd be very surprised at the number of sources available for TV eps. I've never watched the show, and don't care enough to improve them all, though. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:44, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
