I don't think it matters who has the 'writing credit'. Most American tv shows are written by a group. Some shows, especially at the start or things like mini-series are written by one person, but iCarly is not that type of show. Dan has a writing staff.

The writing credit will go to someone who wrote the initial draft, or whoever came up with the idea in the first place and wrote an outline based on it.

Dan still approves the ideas. Dan still puts his notes in. Sitcoms go through extensive reworking as a group. Even if an episode evolves or changes massively from it's original incarnation, the original writer still gets the credit. That's the way these things work.

I wouldn't say it's something like Glee which has three main writers all of whom have very different interpretations of the show.

My main issue with iSYL it's length. It needed to be a double length episode. The fact they were able to put in another 7 more minutes of footage (a huge amount in TV terms, it's almost a third of an actual episode worth of content) shows me they simply couldn't do what they wanted to do in the time allotted, and it hurt the episode.
