Cultural references of Chuck (TV series)

Original Research, uncited claims ~ QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 16:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Merge as context doesn't have enough notability to have a standalone article on WP. A redirect pointing towards the original article may solve this issue. Cheers. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  16:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Merge into the original article with a redirect per above. Totally NN as a stand-alone. Doc Strange (talk) 19:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as the whole section is trivia, uncited, non-notable, and original research. This belongs on a fansite, not Wikipedia. ~ QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 21:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Dear God, please don't let "Chuck" be the next "Family Guy" or "Simpsons".  We don't need any more shows with sly cultural references.  Mandsford (talk) 00:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Chuck episodes rather than to the TV show article itself. That seems the most obvious solution, since this is about specifics in each individual show.  No need to delete the information, just redistribute it.  I commend the fans of the series for not trying to create individual episode articles.   By comparison, fans of Family Guy and the Simpsons don't have that type of self-control, resulting in (not kidding here) a reference to the Simpsons in an article about Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, or to Family Guy in a reference to Feodor Dostoevsky.  Spin offs can come as new seasons develop.  Mandsford (talk) 12:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Burn with cleansing fire - completely indiscriminate list of meaningless trivia. "This one time on this one TV show this guy said this thing" is not the basis of an encyclopedia article. Otto4711 (talk) 16:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think someone used up our last batch of cleansing fire the other day, but some more will be delivered some time tomorrow afternoon. Mandsford (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
