Most of this article is simply repeated information and re-appropriated content from the main article (The Chosen (TV series)) and would not qualify for a split per MOS:TVSPLIT, and splitting never went through discussion. Further, copied content was not properly attributed per WP:COPYWITHIN as is required ([1] compared with [2]). Unlike the Season 1 article (also proposed AfD), this was not repaired and it points out the fact that the article as it stands is simply redundant. There is not enough content for this to justify an article separate from the already existing main article. ButlerBlog (talk) 16:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

De-merge and trim the plot summaries from the main series article and leave them here. Season 3's first episodes have been released, and if this information is to be maintained, per-season articles need to be done sooner or later. Jclemens (talk) 04:23, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, MOS arguments are never valid in a deletion discussion: MOS documents how we typically present things, so if you want to reference it in a merge discussion, great, but AfD suggests that articles be deleted so an argument based on how information should be presented is a de facto admission that the content is encyclopedic.

NOTE: The MOS point is not a stylistic one. It happens to be where the TV Project documents its guideline on when individual season articles are warranted, and how the project approaches individual seasons. We don't make season articles for notable shows just because a season exists; we make them because an individual season without the episode table has enough notability as a season to stand on its own apart from the show article, which is both WP:N and WP:NOTPLOT per WP:BEFORE. Most shows do not warrant an article for each individual season as the information already exists in the show article (as it does here). ButlerBlog (talk) 13:53, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to season 1's heading in the main article. I agree that the article doesn't warrant its own separate page from the main series, but I don't agree that this should be deleted outright as it could be a useful redirect. — Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 00:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Redirect article to the main page to seasons 2 heading. I think it’s pretty clear it should be nominated for deletion. The articles don’t meet any criteria to the MOS, as of now approval for a separate article is no. Wolfquack (talk) 15:12, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
