"Sources"

The "sources" added in no way establish the notability of this episode. The first proves who directed the episode and the second proves that one particular actress appeared in it. They do not otherwise cover or discuss the episode in any way. There remain no reliable sources that establish this episode is notable. Calvin Grant (talk) 10:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a little help for those who really want to keep this article:

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

There is plenty out there if you give it a try.^WP:PRESERVE —MarB4 •ɯɒɹ• 12:32, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of the nine links above, exactly zero of them yield independent reliable sources that offer significant coverage of this episode. Several of them yield no results whatsoever. The episode is not notable in any way and should not have its own article. But rather than simply redirecting the article, which keeps every scrap of information should reliable sources develop for this episode, editors would rather ignore the BEDROCK POLICY of Wikipedia that demands that articles be based on independent reliable sources. Just out of curiosity, how long should an unsourced article stay in place before it's eligible for a simple redirect? A year? Two years? Four years? Because this article has been up with no sources establishing notability for well over four years. If no reliable sources have emerged since January 2007, it is reasonable to believe that sources are unlikely to exist and the article should be redirected or deleted.
