But let's not trim things down to the point where the Wikipedia tag is needed, or all important details are removed. The main problem I have with trimming is that it is not consistent and we have numerous episode articles that were already lengthy and overly detailed and yet nobody has ever bothered with trimming them at all.

I still think it's a good idea that someone like Murali9395 should continue their edits and others can use the content that has been provided by him/her to summarise the episode to what the wiki expects, because let's face it: who else is going to go and watch through well over 500 episodes just to find the key points for a wiki? :P (especially so, given that the original Naruto episodes are only watchable via DVD and can't be viewed on Crunchyroll).

Also, we should try to avoid using "significantly" when trimming, as leaving behind just a few lines of text could easily be considered acceptable: I'd say that it would be better to simply say that the article needs "cleanup" to be more in line with what is expected, but avoiding the removal of too much data to make the effort more like a revert.

The issue also is that the more recent episodes are extremely short (in terms of "they don't cover as much content") and the much older episodes tended to cover a lot more. So we also have that inconsistency as well.
