Big Block of Cheese Day

Delete - previous AFD from October/November 2006 closed as keep on the basis of a lot of dubious arguments along the lines of WP:ILIKEIT and WP:INTERESTING. This fictional concept does not appear to be notable outside of the fiction of the show. There do not appear to be reliable sources that are about this phrase or concept, rather than simply use the phrase, so this also implicates WP:NEO and WP:FICT as no real-world context or sourced analysis as required by WP:NOT#PLOT can be written.

Merge with The West Wing. Basketball 110 _{Go Longhorns!} 18:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cut down and merge with The West Wing. It's interesting and sourcable within the context of the universe it occurs in. The article in its current form, however, is a little big for merging. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 20:27, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cut the cheese down to size and merge into West Wing - Non-notable, in-universe fun (I knew this one already). --Orange Mike | Talk 01:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where would you put it, though? It might be better to merge this information into The Crackpots and These Women, since that's the first appearance of this concept in the series. Zagalejo^^^ 03:57, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as it is interesting to know if it is real, and it is interesting to know what the historical basis is. There are reliable sources. And if an entire category exists for Category:Fictional holidays, then this is the type of content that is appropriate for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not paper and as such can include more obscure topics. This has already survived AFD once. — Reinyday, 05:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- reply - as the article itself explains, the idea, while fictitious, came from an obscure incident in Andrew Jackson's presidency. It has, however, no existence outside the series. WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid argument for retention. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "This has already survived AFD once" -- which means that it must continue to meet wiki-standards. if the article had been deleted already, then I concede that the Wiki-standrads would not apply as rigorously. -- Simon Cursitor (talk) 11:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Smerge (Selectively merge) into the first episode in which it appeared, which is apparently The Crackpots and These Women. We do not need in addition to an encyclopedia article on every episode of a TV series, separate articles on everything mentioned in each episode. Edison (talk) 14:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
