:::::::*Please read [[WP:N]]. Notability means that the subject of the article is the substantial subject of reliable sources. A one-line mention in a book of at least 127 pages is not substantially about the sketch. [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]] 15:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::::*The problem is that most of us do online searches as we can't be bothered to go to a library over something like this and it might be difficult to get the rigorous standards that you demand for something that was a skit over 30 years ago online. During it's time, this skit was popular, it occurred before my time but people still talked about it when I was a kid. I know your going to start putting in a whole bunch of wikipedia links like [[WP:OR]] but what can I say. This skit generates almost a thousand hits on google and there are some reliable sources like the one I mentioned above that make reference to it. Right now I don't have time to do a more extensive search at the different hits, perhaps later. [[User:Pocopocopocopoco|Pocopocopocopoco]] 20:53, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::::*I'm sorry, but notability is not some rigorous unattainable standard. And the fact that you keep using words like "popular" indicates that you don't understand what notability is. It is not popularity. It is not a measure of how many Google hits it generates (the majority of which I'm sure are fansites and other unreliable sources). It is not about things "referencing" the sketch in passing. It is about having independent reliable sources that are substantially about the sketch.

*'''Delete all'''. At the time this comment is written, none of the sketches have any sources demonstrating their independent notability beyond the fact that they're all Monty Python routines and therefore hilarious. If there are sources which can be added for any of them, I'll gladly review my opinion. [[User:BigHaz|BigHaz]] - [[User_talk:BigHaz|Schreit mich an]] 00:51, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete all''' These are all plot summaries that don't do the show justice. Why should they be on Wikipedia? I'm sure the vast majority of Monty Python sketches are non-notable. [[User:Fee Fi Foe Fum|Fee Fi Foe Fum]] 05:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
