Delete - no independent reliable sources indicate that this individual episode of this individual series has any notability separate from the series. As the information at the GA Law & Order: Criminal Intent (season 1) is more comprehensive and since "Smothered" is an unlikely search term for anyone seeking that article, there is nothing to merge and no need for a redirect. See previous discussions here and here for other episodes of this series, which resulted in deletion for lack of reliable sources. Otto4711 ( talk) 15:01, 3 July 2010 (UTC) reply
* Keep, prefer Merge All - This article and all the others seem extravagantly detailed yet individually unnotable (disclaimer: I haven't looked through them all). "Smothered" and the others I've looked at certainly don't merit encyclopedic entries under their episode names, but their information should be kept: it seems to have been collated over a long period of time and includes many wikilinked writers, directors, etc. (and many more who may someday be). Yes, "Smothered" could indeed be deleted based purely on notability, but in the interest of maintaining the integrity of a body of (presumably) valuable data that Wikipedians have put together, I would say we shouldn't delete just one piece of what is clearly a structural whole. Unfortunately the
List of Law & Order: Criminal Intent episodes is way too big & unwieldy already to absorb all these pages, so a Merge vote is not viable. I would suggest that new pages, like
List of Law & Order: Criminal Intent episodes (Season 1) and so on, be created and then all these articles could be merged into their respective homes. For the record, I have no interest in such a project myself (or the TV show for that matter!) but if anyone were to take on the task, I would fully support deletion of all the pages by means of merger. I will watch this page and gladly change my vote.
