Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Every television and web series that has crossed 28 episodes has an episode 28. There is no limit to creating redirects with the title "Episode 28 (series name)" targeting either a episode article or section or list entry anchor. Creating disambiguation pages with such redirect entries serves no purpose. Note that this is unlike Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 6 (Episode Six), etc., which do have entries of things with actual titles having "Episode <x>".
Episode 28 was earlier deleted at WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 12#Episode 28 with a similar rationale (I was the closer), and it referenced WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 15#"Episode ####" redirects to EastEnders lists or articles, which argued that titles with even very large episode numbers (4066, 5549) can be applied to several long running shows.
Similar to Episode 28, there are many disambiguation pages of the format "Episode xx". They should be deleted too, eventually, and so would not be an argument of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Jay 💬 13:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Completely open-ended and arbitrary disambig, and an unlikely search term for anyone who is looking for episode 28 of a particular series (they'd search for the series). Delete the others too. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk) 14:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Only one episode on this dab page has the exact name "Episode 28". It is not likely that people are looking for a specific 28th episode under the name "Episode 28" if it does not have that exact name, because the 28th episode of a series, such as " Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", can be found in a list of episodes (in this case, The Simpsons season 2 or List of The Simpsons episodes (seasons 1–20)). Disambiguation pages are only for exact or nearly exact title matches. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 14:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
