Talk:Blancmange (Monty Python)

Why this article was created with a section moved from Blancmange (food)
(Copy of) Move "Blancmanges in Monty Python's TV Humor"?

(copy) My feeling is that an article dealing with a popular food that has crossed continents and been modified over at least 600 years should probably not have half its content devoted to a money python episode. even though that episode totally rocks. Since at this point I think there's an article for every episode of south park, there should certainly be an article for every monty python episode, and this article should just have a one or two sentence bit pointing to that. -- Akb4 02:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, for different reasons, I too am ready to move it. It will be damaged beyond recognition if it's left here. • By sorting it reasonably belongs here; every paragraph of the Monthy Python portion of the article mentions blancmanges. Also, here was the first place to which I and other readers have navigated when we read that strange word on the TV screen. • The real problem is that Monthy Python intends to irritate people, and at least two food editors have, in my opinion, attacked the section because they don't like being irritated when they are are reading about food, or are irritated by the intentional disorder of that art. (They will probably deny that, so it will just have remain my art juror opinion.) • However, a move to an episode article doesn't work well because this half episode is one of the very few linear stories in any Monty Python episode. If one puts it in an episode guide it would get lost under unrelated nonlinear material in the first part of the episode. • I think it should be moved to its own article "Blancmange (Monty Python TV)", and a disambig pointer should be placed as usual at the top saying "For the TV episode, see Blancmange (Monty Python TV)".

 * Ok, I moved it to Blancmange (Monty Python TV), refitted a brief description into the section "Blancmanges in popular culture", moved the main page to Blancmange (food), and added the new titles to Blancmange (disambiguation), but the line at the top seem more appropriate as "This is the main topic. For other uses, see Blancmange (disambiguation)."
 * Blancmange is currently an auto-redirect page to Blancmange (food). Blancmange ought to redirect to Blancmange (disambiguation), but that means changing links on many pages to Blancmange (food). Maybe someone else will do that, or not. A low-Python happy new year to the food editors. Milo 04:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion
Removed prod, since this seems to be worth keeping for the reasons discussed in Articles for deletion/Architects Sketch (2nd nomination). Klausness (talk) 18:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * One of the more bizarre deletion rejections (in the link) but so be it! Alastairward (talk) 14:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
