I have removed the prod from this page since the user who added it did not explain on the talk page why it was added; there are articles on all West Wing episodes and there's no reason why this one was singled out. Whilst I recognise that Wikipedia policy is exclusionist rather than inclusionist, it seems that this article should meet inclusion based on Wikipedia:Television_episodes, and if not, there are remedies short of deletion that should be attempted first. 81.111.60.89 (talk) 23:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC) 1

There's no requirement to explain why an article was prodded. The prod notice clearly explained why the episode was prodded, it is an "unreferenced article that fails to credibly assert notability of the subject".[1] The article consists almost entirely of a description of the plot, which fails WP:PLOT. The notes section, which is the only non-plot content, consists of trivia and original research. Despite your assertion in your edit summary, the article hasn't been singled out: I've been reviewing all episode articles and there are currently 119 episode articles that suffer the same problem. Another 7 have references but still fail to credibly assert notability and/or fail WP:PLOT. Nine more could probably be prodded but I intend taking those to AfD if they aren't fixed. That's 136 in total. This is part of a bigger project that has, so far, included creation of season articles for the first 5 seasons (seasons 6 and 7 already existed), reworking the s6 & 7 articles to eliminate duplication errors and reworking the main list article to avoid duplication errors and properly transclude the s6 & 7 article, (the s6 article wasn't even acknowledged!) and to fix various other issues. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:40, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
