Erotic film (Monty Python skit)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Procedural nomination. Expired prod with rationale:
 * "fails WP:PLOT as a plot description of a sketch with no real-world notability"

Maybe so, but I doubt that this AfD won't turn up Monty Python fans willing to expand the article and deletion is certainly not entirely uncontroversial. Pascal.Tesson 06:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral Some MP skits are obviously notable, but I'm not sure about this one. Waiting to see what the inclusionists come up with source-wise before I swing one way or another. spazure  (contribs) (review) 07:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep - What Spazure said. Hopefully some MP fans will offer to fix it.  WP:HEY.  G iggy\Talk 07:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Notability must be attained through significant coverage from independent sources, which this article lacks currently Corpx 07:54, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - as the one who placed the prod. The article clearly fails WP:PLOT and it also fails WP:N. Monty Python is notable but its notability is not inherited by every three minute segment of every episode of every show. This sketch has no independent notability.

 * Delete -- Python is notable, but this particular sketch is not, due to the lack of any significant coverage by reliable sources. -- The Anome 13:02, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I've voted to delete all the other articles, but this is actually notable for its commentary on film metaphors for sexual intercourse. I don't know if a Wikipedia article exists on those approved themes-- the train going in the tunnel, the cigarette dropping into the coffee cup, etc., but this one ranked with Carlin's "seven dirty words" skit, back in the day.

 * Delete unless there are sources out there which demonstrate some level of external coverage. I can't find any myself, but I'm always willing to be proven wrong here. Following on from what Mandsford has said, the sketch would only be notable for this commentary if there is in fact anything out there saying as much. Carlin's routine has, I'm sure without looking into it, attracted a considerable amount of coverage, which this one is currently lacking. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
