:::If you Google "three dead trolls in a baggie" CBC and weed through, there's lots of mentions of it in different places, but it was slightly pre-Internet, and it was only five episodes, so it's a challenge to find online unfortunately.

*'''Comment''' — I have removed the majority of unreferenced info, but what's left still has no source in the article. The site doesn't even have any real info that I can find. --[[User:ChrisGriswold|Chris Griswold]] (<big>[[User talk:ChrisGriswold|<span style="color:red">☎</span>]][[Special:Contributions/ChrisGriswold|<span style="color:black">☓</span>]]</big>) 21:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

*You've either misrepresented or misunderstood the original AFD conclusion; there was a ''duplicate'' article on this comedy group at a title with a marginally different spelling (the Wikiserver does not treat "in" and "In" as the same thing in a title). ''That'' article was nominated for deletion, and the final result was to '''redirect''' the '''other''' article '''to this one'''. AtThere nohas point''never'' hasbeen thea questionproposal ofto whetherredirect the Trollsarticle areanywhere ''fundamentally''other notablethan enoughits forcurrent Wikipediaspelling, and the deletion nomination ''ever'failed''' beenbecause putpeople to AFD, nor hasfelt therethey ''everwere'' beensufficiently anotable proposalfor to redirect thean article anywhere other than its current spelling. At any rate: they ''are'' a fairly well-known group in Canadian comedy, and they ''do'' get a reasonably good number of Google hits. An unverifiable claim is not, in and of itself, a legitimate reason to delete an entire article if ''other'' parts of it ''are'' verifiable; it's only a legitimate reason to remove the specifically unverifiable parts. And for what it's worth, [http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/K/htmlK/kidsintheh/kidsintheh.htm this page] ''does'' make at least a passing reference to the Trolls as an example of Canadian television comedy; whether that by itself is sufficient to verify the television show claim is certainly debatable, I grant, but the verifiability of the TV show claim is not, in and of itself, a deletion criterion. '''Keep''' and '''cleanup'''. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 23:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
