List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! episodes (2023): At present, this page (as well as those for other years) uses only primary sources: one for the WW...DTM archive and one to Twitter.

Don't Tell Me! episodes only listed years of airing rather than including every single episodes since it's first airing.  Isn't that list needed to have some changes as well?

Don't Tell Me! episodes since last time I was commented on whether that list would need changes.

After two relistings, it's too late to add them all to this nom if that was intended.  A list of lists is just a navigational aid and isn't required to be independently notable.  My mistake.  I must've opened both the nominated article and the one linked by the first commenter and got confused.  Still, I don't see a reason to delete just 2023's episodes when these exist for every year (or at least many years).  We don't have a great guideline to determine when we should list out radio/podcast episodes (and then whether to distinguish between fiction, variety, interview, etc.).  I guess it'll come down, in some fashion, to "would the ideal article about the show include a list of episodes if it didn't skew the size/npov of the article?"  If yes, then a spin-off list may make sense, and I guess that's where I land here.  — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:13, 26 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Rhododendrites : Can you explain how this article is a list of lists?  The nominated article is a list of episodes that came out in 2023.  Are you thinking of List of Wait Wait...  Don't Tell Me! episodes ?  Significa liberdade (she/her) ( talk ) 03:36, 29 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Rhododendrites : I decided to nominate one article instead of every one of them despite knowing that most of them have the same issue.  I wanted to see how people would respond.  This feels a bit like WP:WHATABOUTX .

Don't Tell Me! has been out since 1998.  As such, if we kept all the episodes on the main page, there may be undue weight.  The lists of episodes page is a list of lists.

Additionally, it does not make sense to delete this page and not the other lists; where would all this information go, or even a condensed version?  I understand that the intention was to see how editors would respond to deletion, but I think deleting this page would just put huge holes in the project without fixing anything.  I would recommend working on sourcing and expanding this page OR, if it must be merged, merging some of the lists together (perhaps by decades? e.g. List of 2010s Wait Wait Don't Tell me! episodes) DaniloDaysOfOurLives ( talk ) 01:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ DaniloDaysOfOurLives : Do you have any sources for episodes of the show -- either in individual years or for the decades?
