:*It's not like this wouldn't have potential, especially with some general information on the production of the sketches and the like. For the individual sketches, some of these do have some sources, but really not enough to get more than a few sentences a piece. One paragraph describing the sketch (there is no need for a four paragraph long plot summary for two to ten minute sketches, and there is also the episode list that needs to be fleshed out), one paragraph for production information, and one for reception/cultural impact would be ideal. Removing some of the really silly stuff like the cheese list in one of the articles and other stuff would get most of these down to a reasonable size. It's not like it would be all of them, nor would all of them be permanently stuck here. If they actually do show potential, splitting them out without all of the unsourced information and giant plot summaries would produce better articles should they get to that point.

::* I have some experience editing these articles and so am quite sure that items like the list of cheeses are exactly what our readership wants and creates. If they wanted material along the lines you suggest then that's what we'd have. But I'm not here for [[The Argument Sketch|the full 30 minutes]]. Suffice it to say that your arguments are unconvincing and my !vote stands. [[User:Colonel Warden|Warden]] ([[User talk:Colonel Warden|talk]]) 21:44, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
:::*That's not a very good argument. The general readership has always wanted giant plot summaries, unsourced trivia, original research, and all sorts of stuff in fiction related articles. If they cared otherwise, it would not take dedicated individuals to build good, sourced articles. The majority of these skit articles have barely been truly worked on in the sense of improving them to GA status and beyond. Something like the cheese list would be good for Wikia where anything can be explored, but an entire transcript of a conversation without any real purpose does not fit well with anything here. Even if that article turned out to be GA material, I can say for sure that section would have to be removed for it to be promoted.
