I fail to see how this episode deserves an article; being the first episode of a season of a popular show doesn't qualify it for notability, this article just seems very WP:Fancruft to me. (Also, this article relies on a lot of primary sources) wizzito | say hello! 15:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator comment - Forgot to say this, but this article should probably be merged into Rick and Morty (season 5). wizzito | say hello! 15:45, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep: meets WP:GNG per the reviews. Meets WPTV common practice, including the soon-to-be-proposed Wikipedia:Notability (television)#Television episodes, with information for a non-trivial Production section and Analysis and Reception. Primary sources are appropriate and well-used per WP:PRIMARY. Also seems like a serious WP:BEFORE failure: I can find [1][2][3][4] that could be added in less than 30 seconds, and with another 10 minutes and some geo-specific searches I'm sure I could find more reviews from Canadian, Australian, British etc. publications, rather than just American. If the nominator did the required BEFORE search then they should have specified what they found and why it isn't enough for notability. AFD is also not the place to go for a nominator to recommend merging—Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers would be one fitting location. — Bilorv (talk) 15:54, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per above, the episodes do indeed meet WP:GNG per the reviews and WPTV. Cardei012597 (talk) 17:19, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, notable and reviewed. Pikavoom (talk) 07:48, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – I agree that episodes are not inherently notable on their own, but when they have reliable sources, we can't argue the other way and say that they are inherently non-notable. The sources here justify the notability of this article. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:30, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
