Deletion of Fight or Flight (Star Trek: Enterprise)

Comment: Indeed, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, but it is an encyclopedia with a mechanism for determining which subjects require an entire article devoted t*o them.  It appears that all of the first season episodes have their own articles at this point (and they have existed for quite awhile), so while they probably should all be merged back to the List_of_Star_Trek:_Enterprise_episodes#Season_1_.282001.E2.80.932002.29|list of episodes and/or to the Star Trek: Enterprise (Season 1)|Season 1 article, it's unlikely that the status quo is going to overturned.  None of these individual episodes appear to pass the |notability threshold.  The only coverage I can find about them (most of it is like http://www.tv.com/star-trek-enterprise/fight-or-flight/episode/66199/summary.html this) proves that they |exist, but not that they are notable

Comment: but seeing that the only sourced third party content is that some critic said the episode "is one of the four best of the season", (if that doesnt fall under the category of "trivial passing coverage" I am not sure what does) there isnt actually much to merge.

Comment: Millions of people watch these episodes, that makes them notable, not the opinion of whatever random credit bothered to review them.  Having the entire Wikipedia held hostage by the whims of a small number of reviewers, is ridiculous.  Nothing gained by deleting it, since if you don't like this sort of article you won't find it unless you are just looking for something to complain about and destroy.  Don't care what the suggested guidelines say.  Wikipedia is not rules, and if a rule interferes with something that would improve Wikipedia, ignore it.

Comment: I find that there is no difficulty adding sources and otherwise |improving the article.  The content should be kept in accordance with our |editing policy.  The nominator was content to work upon the article three years ago and there seems to be no good reason for this action now

Comment: I've cut down the plot to a much more acceptable level. I don't really have an opinion on seperate articles more than , but there's no wp:deadline|rush to improve the article, it will take time as there are a lot ST articles to bring up to spec, and a lot of published sources on ST to do it with
