If I read List of Garfield and Friends episodes right, then this article is about 1/3 of a thirty-minute episode (i.e. ignoring 10 mins of advertisement, this article is about 7 minutes of plot). Google News/Books/Scholar brings up basically nothing.[http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Wanted%3A+Wade%22+garfield+source%3A%22-newswire%22+source%3A%22-wire%22+source%3A%22-presswire%22+source%3A%22-PR%22+source%3A%22-press%22+source%3A%22-release%22&btnG=Search+Archives][http://books.google.com/books?hl=de&as_brr=0&q=%22Wanted%3A+Wade%22+garfield&btnG=Nach+B%C3%BCchern+suchen][http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=de&lr=&q=+%22Wanted%3A+Wade%22+garfield&btnG=Suche&lr=] I have serious doubts of WP:NOTABILITY (although this is episode is even part of the pilot), and this article consists of nothing but plot (WP:NOT#PLOT) and unsourced WP:TRIVIA. I would have bold-redirected, but I think I need a CYA here. I am fine with deletion, redirection and merging (although I won't volunteer for trimming&merging because it's easier for fans to come up with a shorter new ep summary than for me to trim down to a one-liner), and I intend to take bold action for the remaining Garfield and U.S. Acres ep articles depending on the result of this AfD. – sgeureka ^t•c 12:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Delete complete and total fancruft could summarize this. It has no real world relevance, is largely plot summary and has zero sources. I suppose a redirect could be made, but if it were up to me I'd just vape it. JuJube (talk) 16:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Redirect to the list mentioned and let those editors figure out what to merge. Whatever you think about the content, it's still a valid search term. (What is a CYA? If you meant you wanted input, you should have asked at Wikipedia:Requested mergers).- Mgm|^(talk) 18:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
CYA == Cover your ass. I want nothing merged, but an unbureaucritic redirection (with cullable page histories) would/may have resulted in fanboy dissent, forcing me to restore all 100 (?) ep articles and start an AfD anyway to get a swift and unbiased outside opinion, so I decided to skip a few steps. Actual deletion is not totally out of the game either, so AfD is right. – sgeureka ^t•c 19:11, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Delete as non-notable fancruft. Carl.bunderson (talk) 03:40, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
