The result was delete. There is nothing to merge because, as postdlf (t c) and Flatscan (t c) noted, there is no content in these articles that was not in the original source. No prejudice against a proper WP:SPLIT that actually expands upon the original content; at that point the original article should be nominated at AfD. —Darkwind (talk) 00:49, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also:

Duplicates the content found here. I can't see the point in having separate articles just to duplicate content found on another. This article also has less detail than the version linked previous. An almost identical situation was when the article Happy Days (season 1) was speedy deleted for the same thing. I think this one has been here for too long to be speedy deleted.

Keep The old version of List of All in the Family episodes predates the breaking out of all the detailed (such as it is) plot summaries, per the existing treatment for television episodes. The content isn't duplicative, it was broken out into the separate articles so that more information for plot, reception, etc. on each episode could be maintained in a single article on the show, without the single overarching article getting too big. The same thing has been done to many other FL-quality television series episodes, and represents the best consensus model of how to present information in multi-season shows.

- List of All in the Family episodes actually appears to have not only all of the information contained in the split-off season lists, but more information, such as noting guest stars. The episode summaries also appear to be different. Is the breaking out still a work in progress? postdlf (talk) 01:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, it would still appear to be a work in progress, but I haven't participated in it. As a show, it was a bit before my time... Jclemens (talk) 04:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, or if that would be too long, then keep. Bearian (talk) 20:11, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 'Not good enough' is not a reason to delete. Listmeister (talk) 20:20, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with List of All in the Family episodes. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:45, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All of these season lists were derived from the overall episode list, List of All in the Family episodes (pre-split). All in the Family (season 1) began as a direct copy (cross-page diff), and the others take their table formats and colors. The main change that User:StewieBaby05 made was cutting the summaries down to one sentence per episode. None of the splits conform to WP:Splitting#How to properly split an article or WP:Copying within Wikipedia, and all must be repaired if they are not deleted. Merging them back will create attribution dependency loops. Flatscan (talk) 04:36, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
