Chanel 9

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This sketch does not establish notability independent of its series by using reliable third party sources. TTN (talk) 19:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think it's a very memorable sketch in The Fast Show. If the other sketches can also have an article, why not this one? J I P  | Talk 20:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * All articles must establish notability using reliable sources. All of the problem articles cannot be taken care of at once, so other non-notable articles will still remain during the cleanup process. If you can find reliable sources to establish that this is more than a minor sketch, then it can stay. TTN (talk) 20:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never heard for this sketch before but I searched in Youtube after your nomination and I found thousands of videos with many hits. Are you sure it's not notable? -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No clue. If someone establishes that it is actually notable, I'll gladly withdraw as with any other case. TTN (talk) 20:23, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep, not just because many years on the catchphrases are still used by an entire generation :-) Ask anyone TV-fan over 30 in the street in Britain where 'Scorchio' comes from or any of those other catchphrase and you'll instantly get a big smile. Love love love it. Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Tris2000 (talk) 14:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Memorable is not notable, and Youtube has stolen videos of anything. This should certainly not be the primary page over the Channel 9 redirect, which has actual real life channels listed.
 * Comment: This article can very well be moved to Chanel 9 (The Fast Show), with Chanel 9 redirecting to Channel 9. As mentioned above, there are thousands of videos of this sketch available online, and many Finns, at least, think it's the best sketch in the series. Also, by far of the most of the sketches in the show also have their own articles. J I P  | Talk 20:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment A question to everyone: What does make a sketch notable? I see that make Monty Pythons sketches have an article in Wikipedia as well. I am not making a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument but I am really wondering if Wikipedia has established criteria for this situation. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
