The result was no consensus. Since the nominator is a sock puppet of otto4711, I'm going to close this. Anybody is welcome to renominate but as an alternative I recommend starting a discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Law & Order task force about deciding which episodes merit standalone articles and merging the others into list articles.

Delete - this article has existed since January 2007 with no reliable sourcing establishing that the individual episode is notable. There are no such sources. The "sources" that were recently added are single-sentence mentions in books of several hundred pages which establish who directed the episode and the identity of one guest performer but otherwise do not cover the episode. The episode is not independently notable. Its status as an episode of a notable TV franchise does not make this individual episode notable by extension. The article should be deleted.

Keep The Hollywood Reporter described this as the top episode of season 1. It is covered in multiple books and so is notable. Warden (talk) 23:36, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Where is this Hollywood Reporter article? Can you post a link to it, or to multiple sources that offer significant coverage of the episode? Easy to say they exist; where are they? Calvin Grant (talk) 00:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If it is the top episode of season 1, and episodes serve as their own reference, as well as having notability for the fact it is in the first of 20 seasons, definately Keep. -- MelbourneStar☆ ^{(talk to me)} 13:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as an organizational matter, see List_of_Law_&_Order_episodes#Season_1:_1990.E2.80.931991. --Milowent • ^talkblp-r 21:29, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
