Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise)
this article on a 27-year-old pilot episode of a (then) notable television series, because  allows the presumption that 27 years ago, pre-internet and pre-wiki, the series, and more importantly the pilot episode of that series, recieved significant coverage in reliable sources. I do not know how the nom overlooked it, but even the New York Times http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E06E6DF153BF937A35750C0A964948260 specifically praised the pilot episode. And answering the nom's declaration that "''Those who are inclined to !vote ''keep'' should be prepared to provide independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage of this particular episode on its own, per ''", I politely suggest he pay more attention to  in this instance, because if a presumption can be reasonably be made that sources once existed (pre-internet, pre-wiki), it is not required that we now jump through his hoops. It would be more prudent for the nom to prove that the initial pilot of a notable series following a notable film was itself never reviewed before or upon its release. Thank you and regards
