Not every TV episode needs an article, especially one that there are no RS reviews for. This TV series doesn't have an individual article for every episode, so that arguement for inclusion is invalid. In addition, the plot is already covered in the article on the show.

• Keep - This was premiere episode that had multiple reviews two of which I have added to article (Owen, Rob. "'Angel' returns with high style". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.), which ran in multiple papers[1], & (Bianculli, David. "Still plenty of life in 'Buffy,' 'Angel'". New York Daily News.). One is joint review with Buffy premiere but both are by notable writers. Plot could use better citations. WikiVirusC^(talk) 14:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Angel episodes#Season 2 (2000–2001) where it already has an entry. Unneeded CFORK which fails GNG, routine entertainment synops do not show notability. Nothing to merge, article is fancruft.  // Timothy :: talk  06:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Angel episodes#Season 2 (2000–2001) per above, where the episode is listed. CycloneYoris ^talk! 23:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment If redirect is route we go, Angel (season 2) would be a better target, as that is what is transcribed to the List of Episodes anyways. WikiVirusC^(talk) 01:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

*Procedural Keep User:Donaldd23 nominated 5 articles for deletion in a 6-minute period. They have a history of not doing a proper BEFORE, and they continue to break Wikipedia policy with these nominations.

• • You are only allowed one !vote. Please do a proper study of Wikipedia guidelines before voting twice. DonaldD23 talk to me 21:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Really User:Donaldd23 - you want to pretend that was an attempt to vote twice, rather than an extremely obvious editing mistake; and then suggest I study the rules about voting twice? Do you often try and mislead people in AFD discussions? In Football they call this diving. Nfitz (talk) 06:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• BEFOREs don't need to be done immediately before I nominate. I do a batch of BEFOREs and then go and nominate the articles, improve the article and remove the notability tags, or do nothing because I didn't find enough to either improve or delete. Where is the policy that I am breaking by listing these deletions all at once? Maybe you cannot do research on multiple items and then come back to Wikipedia and present your findings, but I can. Your rationale for Keep is incorrect. Maybe you should do a BEFORE and check my talk page where I have been THANKED for doing proper BEFOREs. DonaldD23 talk to me 20:59, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• My apologies, I realise now that I was thinking of someone else. Now I look like a dick ... I'll withdraw my comment. Nfitz (talk) 06:55, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep WikiVirusC provides two excellent GNG references. The Rob Owen one is particularly excellent - and was internationally syndicated, as I can find numerous copies of it in various well known North American newspapers. Nfitz (talk) 07:36, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect The two sources added are better than most episode reviews, but they still most resemble plot summaries, and I still don’t see them as forcing need for independent pages. These are easily includable in the season article without losing value for the reader. The fact that so much of the lead is just basic info in prose form (repeated for each episode article) does not lead me to see a great need for the article to standalone. In watching and following a fair few of Donald’s episode AfDs, my attitude has grown towards redirect and merge as default with only the rarest of episodes deserving solo pages. — HTGS (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, a REDIRECT to the series or season page would be a viable WP:ATD DonaldD23 talk to me 20:57, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
