Episode Summaries[edit]

Most of the summaries are copied from tv.com so they should be removed or fixed. Gman124 14:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fix them but don't remove.--T-man, the wise 05:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The End of the Series[edit]

So the series ended with Legacy? I felt that was the ultimate cliffhanger since Superman has lost everything including respect from the world but Darkseith is still alive...--71.107.217.63 04:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use removal[edit]

The use of images not in compliance with our fair-use criteria or our policy on nonfree content has been removed. Please do not restore them. -M^ask? 23:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Episode notability[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result is a merge and redirect, based on no actual rebuttle to the proposed merger. Since this is a discussion, and not a vote, there needs to be more than simply "object". Being valuable is not a criteria for keeping something. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 21:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All of the episodes of this series fail the notability guidelines for television episodes. The way for these articles to be improved is through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. That is unlikely to happen, and these only contain overly long plot summaries, trivia, and quotes. Per that, they need to be a small part of this list. If there are no objections, these will be redirected soon. TTN 23:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I do object. Isn't there supposed to be discussion before articles are merged or deleted? As to your critiques on the articles' current status, this just sounds like there's room for improvement, not deletion. I vote KEEP. Konczewski 14:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I object. Please use the Wikipedia:Television episodes/Review process. - Peregrine Fisher 05:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No assertion of out-of-universe notability, hence redirect per TTN. The guideline at WP:EPISODE is clear as to what constitutes notability, and none of these meets that standard. Eusebeus 22:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advice to interested editors[edit]

This is a boilerplate bit of advice to editors of television episode articles which have come under Wikipedia:Television episodes/Review.

There is fairly widespread consensus that not all television episodes are sufficiently notable to merit articles of their own in Wikipedia. In the interest of fairness, the Wikipedia:Television episodes/Review process has been established, to determine whether it's possible to establish out-of-universe importance and real-world context for television episode articles. For example, after uncontroversial discussion here, articles on individual episodes of The Simple Life were turned into redirects to List of The Simple Life episodes.

If you're interested in keeping episode articles, the key thing is to find reliable sources discussing individual episodes. Sources which may help establish notability for these episodes include reviews in newspapers, discussion in specialist magazines, and detailed episode guides. (Some of my fellow editors feel that episode guides aren't sufficiently independent of the subject to establish notability, but I disagree, especially for professionally published episode guides.) The key thing for improvement of these articles is to include some real-world content (ratings are a good start) and information beyond plot summaries and cast lists. If there are any books published about this series, see if the production or impact of individual episodes are discussed, and add that information to the episode articles. If someone used sources like these books on a handful of these episode articles, to indicate that the episodes of this series have received sufficient coverage in reliable sources that any episode of the series could have encyclopedic coverage, I'd support leaving the other articles as they are, because the potential would have been demonstrated. I hope that interested editors will take up this challenge, and improve the articles so that they won't be redirected. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be noted that there are two other wikis on Wikia where a full, comprehensive episode guide for this show would be welcome: Superman Wiki and DC Database. If editors want to write about these episodes in depth, they would find a more receptive place to follow their bliss on those sites. -- Danny (talk) 21:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These episode guides are part of the WikiProject Television. That being the case they are valuable to the encyclopedia and should not be merged or erased. Mr. Whitman 17:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Livewire - militant feminist?[edit]

I notice the episode summary of "Livewire" describes Leslie as a "militant feminist." I admit I haven't watched every episode of Superman or Justice League in which Livewire appears, but from that particular episode I get no specific impression of "militant feminism." She's a narcissistic shock jock who happens to be a woman. How did this become militant feminism? (Just to make sure I wasn't missing something important about her character, I checked the DCAU Wiki's page on Livewire and also found no reference to feminism.) Sounds like a biased summary to me.

Numbering[edit]

The season-respective numbering where it begins again at 1 in each section is nice and all, but I would like it if the tables could also show the overall numbering for seasons 2/3/3c too, adding a column for it shouldn't be hard. 174.92.135.167 (talk) 17:08, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Last three episodes[edit]

The last three episodes in season three should be in season 4. IMDB.com and TV.com indicate it is a separate season.

Tv.com[edit]

Since TV.Com no longer exists, that means every source used is invalid.

My question is, switch the sources to IMDB? TheGoldenGladesKid (talk) 23:39, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
