Delete all - individual episodes do not have independent reliable sources that establish notability separate from the series. The only sources are unreliable blogs. The pilot did get some coverage at the A.V. Club site but recent AFDs of Boondocks episodes seen here and here indicate that an AV Club review by itself does not establish notability. The articles also violate WP:PLOT as consisting almost entirely of plot summaries. The episodes are covered in appropriate detail at List of Rubicon episodes and since none of this material is referenced it is unsuitable for merger. Are You The Cow Of Pain?

Keep as in-depth coverage of individual episodes by reliable third party sources is available. That this coverage and critical reaction all need to be integrated into the articles is a matter for tagging, not deletion. I list some example sources below. - Dravecky (talk) 11:31, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
