Talk:The Best Show with Tom Scharpling

This article should definately be merged with the WFMU article.

I completely disagree. This show has been profiled in the New York Times and Tom and his collaborators have a huge fanbase, have been interviewed in over a dozen publications and have spun off several compact discs of their efforts. The show is not a footnote for the WFMU page - it is worthy of its own entry. Just give the contributors like myself some time to add more content and I think my case will be proven.

Surely there doesn't need to be a page for WFMU, the Best Show on WFMU, Tom Scharpling and Sharpling & Wurster. I am not convinced it's notable enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.31.26 (talk) 00:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

It may seem like a lot of articles to have on one subject, but Scharpling & Wurster, WFMU, and The Best Show on WFMU are essentially separate entities. This article should definitely not be deleted. -No Underbites (talk) 01:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

So what you're saying is we should just delete the Tom Scharpling entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.31.26 (talk) 01:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Tom Scharpling the person is notable for his television and screenwriting work outside of the Best Show and S&W and thus deserves an entry. Jon Wurster, too, deserves his own entry for his comedy and music work. S&W is a specific, ongoing comedy collaboration that has done material outside of the Best Show (both recorded comedy, some of which was never aired on the Best Show) as well as in television writing (Tom Goes to the Mayor) and magazine articles (Harp). However, by far the majority of S&W material is based around the Best Show. Thus, the S&W article could be merged with the Best Show article. S&W work apart from the Best Show (Tom Goes to the Mayor) was not credited as "Scharpling and Wurster" as a distinct team, but rather to the two individuals; the fact of two individual's working relationship and friendship does not deserve an article by itself-- "Carson and McMahon" don't get an article. There is no reason that the Best Show article could not be expanded slightly to discuss the CDs and the fact that the core of the show is the collaboration between S&W who have done work together outside of the show. 71.56.237.70 (talk) 06:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
