Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean
per the |notability guideline for TV-series and per long established precedent in : "Television series broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept as they are considered notable." I think it is fair to say that ''Mr. Bean'' has been widely broadcasted and rebroadcasted ''internationally'' for the past 25+ years, according to http://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/mr-bean-rides-again-rowan-atkinson-celebrates-25th-anniversary-of-show-at-buckingham-palace-2423830.html the video here in "190 territores around the world". We have the parent article at ''Mr. Bean'' (not nominated for deletion), we have the episode list at List of Mr. Bean episodes|List of ''Mr. Bean'' episodes (not nominated for deletion), and then we have 15 individual episode articles (all are up for |unbundled deletion). This structure is the accepted standard per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television and is fine per  with a {{tl|Main}} in Mr. Bean|''Mr. Bean''#Episodes per . Lack of {{tq|information on the episode's production}} is not a -REASON|policy based reason for deletion, it is not even an article requirement, see . A few words {{tq|on its reception when broadcast}} would certainly be nice, but is not mandatory, see , and again, its absence is not a policy based reason for deletion, it's a  argument. I agree with nom that most of these 15 articles are poorly sourced, but it is a  argument to be avoided, as -T (policy) specifically suggests tagging for such problems, and because |notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. And  finally there is the question: why take these article to AfD in the first place instead of considering -M (policy) into List of Mr. Bean episodes|List of ''Mr. Bean'' episodes or a -R solution (policy)? If the titles did not exist and were requested at /R, I would not hesitate with responding to the request by creating them as |categorized {{tlx|R to TV episode list entry}} redirects
