:::::*I was thinking about it, but then I looked at some of the past AfDs. There are a few that would probably be deleted without much trouble, but the majority are likely to be more affected by personal feelings than anything else. It would just be a bunch of no consensus closings with advice to start a merge discussion, so I've just decided to skip to that step. I'd hope that doing a few at a time would allow for more focused discussion and keep the article from instantly bloating up. I'll probably have to ask on a few project pages to actually get any opinions at this point. [[User:TTN|TTN]] ([[User talk:TTN|talk]]) 09:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
::::::*The problem is that a merge discussion then becomes a giant AFD for all of the articles in question, or at least the 4 you've listed. At least one of those would likely never be merged (let alone deleted) based on sources. It certainly wouldn't need to rely on ILIKEIT votes.

:::::::*Merges are not deletions (otherwise TTN would have just gone to AFD in the first place). The sketch names are all searchable terms so their current page contents would be replaced with redirects to here, so all past contributions are still there, hence why its not deletion. And should a sketch gain sufficient notability in the future for a standalone article, the redirect can be undone without loss of the previous information. Also, articles with 22 subheadings happens often, but there's other ways to organize the information to avoid heading overload (such as by having the h2 headings be by season, h3 the sketch names) --[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 13:24, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
:'''Support''' Many of these sketch pages are just summarizing the sketch and noting the pop culture referencing back to them, and give no other details that would meet the GNG, but they are things that we should document. Strip away unsourced pop culture references back to the sketch and the other parts related to having a full page, and one can easily have two-three paragraphs on most of these skits to be listed out here. The few that are notable on their own (Spanish Inquisition, Dead Parrot) can be listed but with see-also/main links to these specific articles. --[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 13:24, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
