Comment: per . Although sources may exist, there is nothing even remotely well written enough in this article to be worth keeping - any future iteration of this article would require a substantive rewrite. I would also like the point out that all three members of the Trio ''already have their own articles'', which although also in poor condition are at least in better shape than this one

Comment: Secondary sources have be found that show that the topic meets . Of course the article needs a lot of improvement. Is everything currently in it useless? It is extensive, unsourced plot-summary. That would need to be trimmed and sourced (although primary sources are in many parts already given in the text, just not as citations), but plot-summary would still be part of a good article about the topic. So in my opinion, it can be improved by editing and is therefore not a case of . If someone prefers to build the article from the ground up rather than incrementally improving it, writing a draft and ''then'' replacing the current content is a possible way to go. In the meantime, if anyone is interested in the topic, they are better of with the version we have now than with no version

Comment: https://www.vulture.com/2013/12/oral-history-buffy-nerd-trio-jonathan-warren-andrew-tara-willow.html Found this Vulture feature mainly about the trio. Pieces about the show's sixth season, such as from https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a862757/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-season-6-defence/ Digital Spy, https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/03/buffy-season-6-anniversary-warren-jonathan-andrew Vanity Fair and https://junkee.com/joss-whedon-buffy-season-6/288107 Junkee, make the trio a frequent point of discussion; the Junkee source even highlights the trio as making the season bad "for a punishing misogyny", and discuss this problem and the Trio overall for four paragraphs!!! Another https://www.vulture.com/2021/03/complete-timeline-joss-whedon-allegations.html Vulture piece doesn't discuss it as much, but still makes a significant claim about the Trio being an example of the season's controversial misogyny, which in turn was one the show creator's most notorious moments in entertainment history. https://ew.com/tv/buffy-binge-season-6/ One paragraph in this review criticizes the Trio. Their presence in the show is also heavily analyzed in academic literature, such as https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=Xf07jZwNpu0C&oi=fnd&pg=PA127&dq=%22the+Trio%22+%22Buffy+the+Vampire+Slayer%22&ots=aUlEsIn4yZ&sig=VT7ia0GXsbzdEmehVuPLmkNVv98#v=onepage&q=%22the%20Trio%22&f=false, https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=8barDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PP1&dq=%22the+Trio%22+%22Buffy+the+Vampire+Slayer%22&ots=N8JaXdOwu6&sig=xC2G2SOHmbOTgJgMA3DkeF2ExHg#v=onepage&q=%22the%20Trio%22&f=false, https://www.academia.edu/download/57953441/fandom_as_addiction_book_2a.pdf, http://offline.buffy.de/www.slayage.tv/essays/slayage11_12/Simkin_Gun.htm, https://www.academia.edu/download/36772937/Bringing_the_Pain...Marti_Noxon.pdf, https://skemman.is/bitstream/1946/6187/1/Slaying%20Literature%20-%20%C3%93skar%20Eggertsson%20-%20BA%20Thesis.pdf, https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=qDsuDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA369&dq=%22the+Trio%22+%22Buffy+the+Vampire+Slayer%22&ots=Sw0qRLsMKT&sig=yIV5Oiji7Nu_iJr2m0aP-eu7BtE#v=onepage&q=%22the%20Trio%22%20%22&f=false, https://search.proquest.com/openview/e1636d2bb3376eb3d8e7d9bf1ff99387/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=236255, and a https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=0&q=%22the+Trio%22+%22Buffy+the+Vampire+Slayer%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0,33 lot more analyzed for the character's outsiderness among many other things. The article needs to be 'd so that it's not just a character summary you can find on a wiki, and also so these reliable sources are incorporated. However, this is a notable topic so it should be kept
