Line 59:
*'''Keep all''' - Several books regarding Monty Python have been published, going into often extraordinary detail regarding the subject, yes, including individual skits. I think that those volumes help establish the notability of these skits. Having said that, I have no objections to the possibility of merging and/or otherwise combining several of these articles into a reduced number of articles, perhaps one per episode, after the articles have been worked on a bit more and it is clearer exactly how long they are likely to ultimately be. But deletion at this point seems uncalled for. [[User:Warlordjohncarter|John Carter]] 16:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
:*The notability of Python as a whole and the notability of other Python sketches does not translate to notability for ''these sketches''. In the absence of substantial coverage of these sketches the coverage of other sketches in these sources is irrelevant. [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]] 19:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
:::My statement above was not intended to deal directly with the subject of these skits per se. I don't think any of us know one way or another whether these skits do receive substantive treatment in the relevant books yet. I know I don't, having just started doing anything with that subject today. However, I do believe that if the skits are found to be non-notable individually, they will almost certainly be turned into sections of other articles shortly thereafter. If that is the case, then deleting them now, before such notability can be established by the comparatively few individuals who have had any activity with the subject area, might prove to be counterproductive. If they do qualify as non-notable, though, like I said, I am certain the content will be merged into other articles, probably individual episode articles, and probably shortly after non-notability is determined. I just don't see a need to rush to judgement here. [[User:Warlordjohncarter|John Carter]] 20:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
:::*I don't think allowing non-notable plot summary articles to sit around unchallenged for six months is a "rush to judgment." [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]] 22:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
