I don't really care to get involved in a revert war here, but there is a reason why not everything on any given page is made a link, particularly when 98% of them are red. Right now there are three links to existing articles, and one of them at least is losing its fight for survival on VfD. I don't think we need to encourage others to write more of these, certainly not until it's settled what the policy will be. Deleting these as links still makes it possible for a person to write these articles, but less likely for them to. Anyone who is going to let the lack of a dead link prevent them from writing such an article is highly unlikely to write one of quality. If someone writes an article on I Hate Frasier Crane, they can turn it into a link when they're done. But they shouldn't be surprised if it immediately ends up on VfD or merged with this list.

Very funny. The reason the links are red is because they will have pages eventually. I'm currently working my way through Season 2 and then I'll work my way through the rest. (It's just I'm watching Season 2 on DVD just now.) And don't let the red links annoy you, they can't hurt you. It may look unprofessional just now, but it'll get better over the next month. So hang tight little man.

Since I've been writing a few episode summaries recently, I've also taken the liberty of converting many of the pages I've come across, so that they direct to a page clearly identified as being for 'Frasier'. That way, it makes it clearer that these links refer to the particular episode of Frasier being discussed, and any other topic which might happen to relate to this heading has it's own page. -- Joseph Q Publique 10:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
There is in fact a very good reason why I put the 2-line thumbnail descriptions (which I have tried very hard to make sure do not contain any spoilers) here, as opposed to simply writing stub episode pages. That way, if someone wants to find the name/season for a particular episode they remember the plot for, they can simply look down this list, as opposed to clicking on (eventually) close to 200 separate links. So please do not remove these short descriptions!. Noel (talk) 16:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Evening folks. It is my intention to reformat this article from a big list, to a more organized table. During this process, some information may be temporarily gone. Do not fear though, I will have the original article (as of tonight) stored on my user page, HERE -- WBredefeld 04:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey. I've been searching for a constructive project for a small part of my free time, and this is as good as any. Over the next few weeks months, I will be adding several episode summaries of Fraiser episodes as well as revising some of the existing summaries. It looks like a few users have tried to do this in the past, but gave up? I'll be using
The Good Son (Frasier) as my template for this project. Suggestions/comments are very welcome.

I just wanted to say that I am working on taking the templates from the existing seasons and at least make a table for each season. Have to do that tedious work to make this article consistent. From there people need to start writing episode guides. Chick3magnet 06:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Added the table for Season 6. Would be great if somebody would do some of them too. They take a while, but they need to be done. Chick3magnet 03:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Just finished the table for Season 8. I don't know what's going on, but sometimes the links in the table will not link up with the episode guides that are already written. I try and make the corrections so the titles match up, but they still don't? What is up with that and what can I do?

First things first: The target of the merge proposal are the season articles of course, but I added it here for more visibility. The more appropriate name of the "merge" proposal is also actually "redirect" proposal, since there is often nothing to merge. Picking any random Frasier episode article will demonstrate that they consist of a plot summary (already part of the season articles), Episode Title Cards (no encyclopedic relevance), Memorable Quotations (should be removed, because this is wikipedia, not wikiquote), occasionally unsourced Trivia (both trivia and lack of sources is bad), and some articles have been notability-tagged since March 2008. I checked out some episodes on Google News/Books/Scholar, and while some websites come up, they seem to just mention the episode names in the form of episode guides. I am going to wait one or two weeks for someone to propose what else should be done with these articles, otherwise, I am just going to redirect those episode articles that don't have a claim of notability (e.g. Emmy wins and noms) or sufficient real-world information. – sgeureka t• c 14:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Keep my references. Many find them interesting, and they are very significant. I put a lot of time and effort into these articles. - Mdriver1981 ( talk) 22:06, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
List of Frasier directors is a derivative mess of the episode list. It consists of just names and amount of work by directors. I don't know why it was created in 2007, but it longer serves purpose. This type is also discussed in WP:village pump (policy)/Archive 104#List of... writers/directors/etc. -- George Ho ( talk) 18:11, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Comment - I'm not too experienced with TV-related articles .. I suppose there are quite a few traditions and precedents already established within WP for handling TV-related lists. On the face of it, the three Lists (episodes, directors, and writers) overlap with each other extensively ... so merging makes some sense. I'd keep REDIRECTS at the old lists. But I'd be curious to see what the pattern is with other notable TV shows: do they have 2 or 3 List articles? -- Noleander ( talk) 00:01, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
It seems like some utter turnips may have written this page, as the colour beside each season in the table is wrong. And not just like one or two of them are wrong, but every single one. For the record, as copy/pasted from iMDB, the order of season colours for Frasier is blue, pink, green, purple, yellow/white, brown, yellow/orange, bright/neon green, orange, silver, and gold. Hell, five seasons in the Wikipedia list are different shades of blue! If I have the energy I will fix this myself, with a little bit of colour swatching from the show since every entry needs an RGB code, but this cannot be guaranteed as I'm very ill. And whether I'm up to the task of fixing this myself or not bears no relevance on the fact it badly needs fixing. On the other hand some seasons do use a gradient rather than solid colour so there will need to be a wee smidgen of good judgement above and beyond using the colour swatch tool to pick the correct colour from the title cards. But really, even a terrible effort at this would be streets ahead of the current nonsensical mess we have. 95.144.3.176 ( talk) 14:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
