This page is literally just a list of occasions when a particular pun was used. The fact that a pun has been used on TV doesn't make the pun notable (WP:ITEXISTS). Amisom (talk) 09:59, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Lawyer joke. I disagree with the premise of the nomination. The "pun" in this case has evolved into a placeholder name, a thing of cultural significance. However, use of the term is obviously a "lawyer joke" (and one of the best known ones), so a merge to that article would also be a reasonable outcome. BD2412  T 16:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Lawyer joke, per User:BD2412. The name is mentioned in the media commonly enough, while I couldn't quite identify WP:SIGCOV, but I've heard BigLaw attorneys and Magic Circle solicitors jokingly refer to their firms using the name. If we simply delete the article outright it will likely be recreated, probably by someone taking a break from studying for the Bar Exam. Fiachra10003 (talk) 13:24, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per above. Fails WP:GNG for stand-alone article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:33, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge makes sense to cover it within the context of other lawyer jokes as it's a well known one. Star   Mississippi  12:15, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
