List of The X Factor (UK) episodes[edit]

WP:LISTCRUFT article showing by-episode television ratings and airdates for each episode. Article contains episode details that do not meet guidelines in WP:EPISODE (specifically, "Such pages must still be notable, and contain out-of-universe context, and not merely be a list of episode titles or cast and crew: Wikipedia is not a directory.") Also fails WP:NOT#STATS and WP:IINFO. AldezD (talk) 17:05, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've always thought this article was unnecessary. The ratings for each series are in the articles for each series. One question though - how can this list "contain out-of-universe context" when it's not a work of fiction? –anemoneprojectors– 17:16, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment —That guideline would likely not apply since this is not a series based upon fiction, but the guidelines about notability and not merely being a listing of episode titles/cast/crew applies. AldezD (talk) 17:30, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Absolutely. You were just quoting in full. I just wanted to check. I agree that the rest applies. –anemone projectors– 08:37, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- This is not a list of episodes, which might be encyclopaedic (though I hope not), but a list of their chart ratings, which is certainly not. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:18, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Upon clicking on it I was expecting actual episodes, Not ratings .... Not only is the title misleading but the whole article is unencyclopedic. →Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 16:12, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
