Fur and Loathing

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Deprodded because of WP:GOOGLEHITS but i found only tangential mentions. Doesn't assert notability. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 00:42, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. It was deprodded because of Google News hits like this, this and this. Most indeed seek to cover the fandom rather than the show, but they each mention specific elements of the episode (which is typically also mentioned by name) that could be used to back facts within the article (e.g. "starts with a man dressed as a raccoon found dead by the side of a road", "portrayed the community as a community of sexual deviants who like to have sex in fur costumes", "showed attendees at a furry convention engaging in a costume-clad orgy"). The fact that it is mentioned at all indicates that it is a notable example of mass media [mis]representation of furry fandom. GreenReaper (talk) 00:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * You really think three one-sentence mentions in the context of something else = non-trivial? Apparently I need to whack you with a trout AND a dictionary. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:57, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * When those mentions indicate that the episode has entered into the lore of popular culture? Absolutely. GreenReaper (talk) 07:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per our rules. Every episode of CSI is going to pass the low bar that is WP:NOTE.  I did a little searching, and found this, which is a bit more than one sentence.  Their are other refs with at least one sentence besides the ones mentioned above. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)  - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:35, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep It's notable, e.g. "...in this truly bizarre episode they've outdone themselves..." Warden (talk) 08:36, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
