I don't see why you need two different versions of season pages, suggest delete and merge needed content into List of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon episodes. Govvy (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also included. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (season 2) Govvy (talk) 20:22, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because having separate pages for each season is no different than any other television series that's long. SpectresWrath (talk) 01:45, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, seasonal TV shows get separate articles about their respective seasons all the time. Unless there's an unwritten rule that you need a certain amount of seasons before you start separate articles, I don't see what the problem is. MushroomMan674 (talk) 14:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment SpectresWrath MushroomMan674 If you want the article to be kept, you should say Keep. Link20XX (talk) 17:01, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Link20XX My fault. Changed it. MushroomMan674 (talk) 23:54, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @MushroomMan674:, @SpectresWrath:, @Link20XX: There are only two seasons at present, if it was like the List of The Big Bang Theory episodes then it would makes sense to have them split. However at this point, why should it be split off into multiple articles. Just look at List of White Collar episodes, every episode is listed on one page. List of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon episodes should be able to contain all the content fine. I consider season one and two completely unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORKS at this time.

- Comment A lot of other anime series has two seasons as well but their separated. Their is no real reason to delete this page when the series is just starting to get long. SpectresWrath (talk) 21:53, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Also, if I can add, Yashahime is part of the longer InuYasha anime run at large. Even though they're not the same series, they *are* connected and I think it make sense to separate. MushroomMan674 (talk) 18:33, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To give an even further comment, look at something like Dr. Stone (season 2). Granted, it's going to have another season eventually, but even when that page was made, the show only had 2 seasons to its name, and the article was allowed to stay up. So why not this one? MushroomMan674 (talk) 04:47, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MushroomMan674: That Dr. Stone is terrible, you can easily have all that information on one page, instead you have three pages, so the information is split between three very short articles, when it can easily be contained all in one article. They should all be merged into one article. Poor structure. Govvy (talk) 09:23, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not every season in anime is gonna be long. Look at season 7 for Naruto Shippuden for example, its only 8 episodes. Even One Piece has 4 seasons with only 13-16 episodes in it. SpectresWrath (talk) 17:06, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for now The second season hasn't aired yet. I don't see a case to split the seasons just yet. Once the second season has aired for a while re-splitting can be reconsidered. For future reference if this gets revisited, after season 2 airs I would support seperate season pages as its part of Inuyasha, but would also support merging the summary list article into the main show article as it should still meet WP:SIZE concerns when it doesn't include episode summaries.

Merge as per nom. No reason for two separate articles. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:37, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect per Jumpytoo above, who provides a very logical rationale with some policy backing. I note that a lot of arguments to keep this equate to OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Daniel (talk) 08:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for now. I think the gun was jumped on this split. Perhaps wait for the second season to have aired a few episodes and it may be appropriate. Link20XX (talk) 13:56, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for now, as per Jumpytoo. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:56, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon episodes. Except for the plot summaries, all this info is already there. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 07:53, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Closing comment: There's been no delete !votes. This should have been a merge proposal rather than an AfD proposal. If a keen user wants to make a merge proposal they are welcome to, but I am for now removing this from AfD. Dr. Universe (talk) 18:52, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Update: Switched from keep to merge after learning from Link20XX that it's okay to close as "merge" then actually merge the contents later.
