This list is quite pointless because it is pretty common to have the first episode aired be called the pilot. Obviously we can't fit every episode that has ever aired with the first broadcast episode named Pilot. Jay Jay What did I do? 02:56, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep, but remove all the redlinks. This page should be a set index for all existing TV episode articles named "Pilot". I will also support merging to the main Pilot disambiguation page. In any case, a list of these various exiting articles named "Pilot" with parenthetical disambiguation titles needs to be somewhere in the main article namespace per Wikipedia:Disambiguation.

- Keep Per Zzyxx, but in addition to the redlink purge, remove other show episodes that are just redirects to 'List of (show)#Episodes' or season compendium articles. Nate • ( chatter) 22:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

- Keep per Zzyzx11, without the redlinked entries. Looks like a perfectly legitimate set index to me. Also, either change the criterion so that pilot episodes not titled "Pilot" are allowed or delete the entries that don't qualify. Clarityfiend ( talk) 04:15, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep and delete redlinks and things that aren't called "Pilot". — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 08:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep, but rename List of pilot television episodes, or something like that. There are too many in here, and in international TV show reality, to fit comfortably into the Television pilot article. Many users, per the guideline Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates, like to browse using lists. So long as it sticks to notable TV series, this is a limited and defineable set. Further discussions about inclusion criteria could be done at its talk page. Novickas ( talk) 22:02, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
