I'm sure someone's going to reply to this with a snarky comment, but this
looks an *awful* lot like rehash of spoiler warnings, except instead of
removing spoiler tags, people are removing episode articles.  And I'm not
just saying that because it's a dispute, either.

For instance, note this from the proposed decision:

    Editors who have been apprised that a particular change is controversial
    or disputed are expected to engage in discussion to resolve the
    dispute. It is inappropriate to repeat the change over a wide range of
    pages in order to present opponents with a fait accompli or to exhaust
    their ability to contest the change.
