I really don't think this is useful or lexicographical. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:40, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Delete this composite construct but consider abbreviation entries at S and E. (P.S. Anybody else play Doom? E1M1?) Equinox 03:42, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Delete per nom, unless we want a few hundred of these. Some shows have 20 episodes or more in a season. Some shows have had 20 or more seasons. bd2412 T 03:54, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
    Keep. I created this entry. I wanted to see if someone would create a RFD for it, and maybe I won't mind if this gets deleted on the grounds of being a composite term. Still, if meets the CFI requirement of "it's likely that someone would run across it and want to know what it means". I'm aware that keeping this would be a precedent for creating S01E02, S01E03, etc. I don't intend to create these other entries while we are still discussing S01E01.
    See Category:English terms spelled with 4. We have a lot of entries like 0-8-0 and 0-8-4 for the wheel arrangement of trains, with varying numbers. S01E01 does not feel very different to me than the train entries. For reference, if we created entries for S01E01 to S27E22 for each episode of The Simpsons currently listed, we would have 596 new entries and counting, assuming they were all citable. I don't know if we should have SxxEyy or Appendix:Something/SxxEyy as a single page for that concept with any season/episode number. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 04:04, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
    That's absurd, like having entries for the temperature 12ºC and the length 104cm. Just create S and E. Equinox 04:06, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
    Someone might want to know what, for example, V8X 3X4 means, which would get us, in principle, as many as 26×10×26×10×26×10 entries (17.6million Canadian postal zones). And because so many are not actually in use, the often-advanced encoding rationale for inclusion of SoP(decoding) potential entries would apply. DCDuring TALK 10:24, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
    I changed by mind per Equinox and DCDuring. I created S and E. Delete S01E01. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 19:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Comparison to the train entries is ridiculous. An 0-8-0 is a type of train - one can easily find sources saying that a particular train "was an 0-8-0" (I have added a few of these to the entry to illustrate this). You won't find sources saying that an episode "was an S01E01". bd2412 T 21:33, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
An 0-8-0 is a type of (steam) locomotive actually (with 8 driving wheels), not a train. DonnanZ (talk) 23:22, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've just killed it because nobody is supporting it, even the creator, and Daniel has created S and E (thanks!). Equinox 01:10, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome, sorry for the trouble. When you mentioned 12ºC and 104cm, I saw that it was obvious that I should not have created S01E01. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 01:20, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
