"The Greensleeves Monologue annotated"
Completely inappropriate for an encyclopedia. It's essentially an essay. Just doesn't belong here. Woohookitty(meow) 06:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, cannot fault the author for not citing sources at least. Nonetheless, this is an essay, lacks context, and looks a lot like original research. Delete. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:24, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * But it does offer a lot of information on its subject, a lot of cross-referential material, and an exposition of how comedy (or one piece of it) is constructed. -- 62.25.109.196 07:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * But it still doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Delete. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 12:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to At the Drop of a Hat seems to be the most satisfactory solution for it. This is a tough one.  I suspect the show in which the skit appeared deserves an article.  If a skit from it is still remembered after fifty years, it's noteworthy enough to pass.  Nor is this OR: it consists mostly of explaining the allusions from the skit.  An edited down version of this information would be a valuable addition to an ultimate article on the show.  Smerdis of Tlön 14:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a nice little article with a big, long list of citations, but it's an unencyclopedic essay. -- Kicking222 16:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Content is interesting, the author should consider publishing it somewhere. But Wikipedia is not the place for original research. --JerryOrr 18:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm the original author. It would certainly be nice if this piece could be moved to At the Drop of a Hat. If not, I could publish it on my own web site and make an external link. El Ingles 00:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * FWIW, our page on Greensleeves itself could use some substantial improvement and expansion. Perhaps some of this information could be presented there.  Smerdis of Tlön 22:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope it stays - the cool thing about Wikipedia is you can find out things you wouldn't easily find anywhere else, just by browsing the threads. I was delighted to find this! - Max Read. Keep! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.82.227.49 (talk • contribs)
