message: This is a boilerplate bit of advice to editors of television episode articles which have come under Wikipedia:Television episodes/Review.
There is fairly widespread consensus that not all television episodes are sufficiently notable to merit articles of their own in Wikipedia.  In the interest of fairness, the Wikipedia:Television episodes/Review process has been established, to determine whether it's possible to establish out-of-universe importance and real-world context for television episode articles.  For example, after uncontroversial discussion here, articles on individual episodes of The Simple Life were turned into redirects to List of The Simple Life episodes.
If you're interested in keeping episode articles, the key thing is to find reliable sources discussing individual episodes.  Sources which may help establish notability for these episodes include reviews in newspapers, discussion in specialist magazines, and detailed episode guides.   (Some of my fellow editors feel that episode guides aren't sufficiently independent of the subject to establish notability, but I disagree, especially for professionally published episode guides.)  The key thing for improvement of these articles is to include some real-world content (ratings are a good start) and information beyond plot summaries and cast lists.  If there are any books published about this series, see if the production or impact of individual episodes are discussed, and add that information to the episode articles.  If someone used sources like these books on a handful of these episode articles, to indicate that the episodes of this series have received sufficient coverage in reliable sources that any episode of the series could have encyclopedic coverage, I'd support leaving the other articles as they are, because the potential would have been demonstrated.  I hope that interested editors will take up this challenge, and improve the articles so that they won't be redirected.
In this particular case, I believe that there are reliable sources about Thunderbirds and other Gerry Anderson productions: for example, this, this and this may all have useful information which can be used to establish notability for the individual episodes. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that it is odd that "Perils of Penelope" redirects to this page directly. There should be a disambiguation page. It is an episode name, but that is an homage to old movie serials "The Perils of Pauline", which also inspired the cartoon "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop". I was looking for the latter myself, and I think most people that type in "perils of Penelope" wouldn't be looking for a Thunderbirds episode (though some would, hence the need for a disambiguation page). In the US, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop still airs several times a day on the Boomarang channel so there are likely people searching for info. Hastor (talk) 00:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The Red Arrow wikilink points here, but in referring to it as a "programme", it sounds more like a reference to a fictional aircraft rather than the aerobatic display team. Does anybody know if this is so? Autarch (talk) 19:08, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. Having watched a bit of this episode, I agree that it doesn't so much feature the Red Arrows as much as a model of aircraft which happens to be called "Red Arrow". Characters always refer to the plane in the singular, and it would appear to be an offensive fighter aircraft rather than an aerobatics plane. I've re-worded the episode synopsis so that the first sentence reads "The Hood sabotages the new 'Red Arrow' fighter aircraft programme". I hope that this clears up the ambiguity.

message: Our article on Tin Tin Kyrano refers specifically to the "Sun Probe" episode as one that contains important character development for that character. Would it be possible to provide an entry for that episode, please, so that the appropriate links can be made? Thank you. RomanSpa (talk) 11:41, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
