Redirect?[edit]

This page originally referred to the April 11, 2020 episode of SNL. However, we learned today there will be at least one more remote episode of "SNL at Home" (with more coming likely). "SNL at Home" will now refer to many episodes this season, so focusing on one is now incorrect. Moreover, we don't create individual episode articles about the hundreds of SNL episodes (even though details like Reception do exist), so I believe we should now redirect this page to Saturday Night Live (season 45)‎#Impact of COVID-19 on the season. My edit was reverted by User:Koavf, so we can discuss. -- Wikipedical (talk) 19:46, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedical, "focusing on one is now incorrect"? You realize that we have more than one article about several television series episodes, correct? We can make articles on what has notability and notability is established by sources. There are plenty of sources establishing this as notable. "we don't create individual episode articles about the hundreds of SNL episodes" Sorry if this comes across as rude as this is a pet peeve of mine but I personally hate the "We don't do [x]" line of argument: I don't care if we haven't done something typically: the question is should we? The vast majority of album articles don't have alt text for their covers. Does that mean that none of them should? Should we remove alt text just because it's not typical? There is no rule against making articles about individual episodes of SNL and there are notability guidelines that are met here: this article should exist. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Koavf, assuming the April 25 episode has the intertitle, "Saturday Night Live at Home," do you believe this current article should remain at this title? And if there are two episodes referred to as "Saturday Night Live at Home," where should the title "SNL at Home" point to? And re: rude, apology accepted. -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedical, If there are multiple episodes entitled "Saturday Night Live at Home", then we can include two episodes here under this title, rename this to "Saturday Night Live at Home (Tom Hanks and Chris Martin episode)", or something else. I don't think we should just get rid of perfectly fine material because there is a second episode with this new title. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:16, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Koavf, I wasn't suggesting that it's criminal or anything to create an article about an SNL episode, but it is unique to cover multiple episodes of a series under one page. And as it stands this article needs a large overall if it's going to cover multiple episodes (when I said that "Saturday Night Live at Home" summarizing one episode is now "incorrect," I hope you see that's just factual – as in, the title now does not just refer to the April 11 episode). -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedical, Suggesting that the page needs to change is, of course, fine--this is a wiki. Suggesting that sourced material that is notable should just be removed from the encyclopedia because there's another episode does not seem like the wisest solution here. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:45, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
