That was the old structure of wikipedia. in 2002 I think. Bad idea.

I think the disagreement is where appropriate ends. Do we toss out our notability and reliable sourcing guidelines in order to have complete sets of articles? This morning I thought about it this way:
When you hear of a project that has a complete description of every episode of every TV show, all significant (and most insignificant) characters, as well as all associated trivia - do you think Wikipedia, or something else? If that vision brings to mind Wikipedia for you, then you have a very different idea of accumulating the knowledge of humanity for open access than I do.
Maybe I'm way out in left field about this, but I think at the most we should include general descriptions of the most popular shows (if we have to, and if it meets all of our other guidelines). If people want to elaborate on individual episodes of merit (argh) then they should do it like this:
[[24_(TV_Show)/Episodes/The_World_is_Saved_part_909349]] so each episode does not get its individual article, and can not be separated from the main show. This also makes it easier to manage each show because you can just do an index of the directory 24_TV_show/Episodes/ rather than searching and making sure the same episodes aren't listed under different names, etc.
