Gizmonic Institute

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete - each of these articles, which describe an element of fiction in an in-universe perspective, should be deleted. They do not meet the general notability guideline as there are no reliable sources that are significantly about the fictional locations. They fail WP:PLOT as being nothing but descriptions of the sites in terms of their function within the narrative of the series. Every element of a notable work of fiction is not itself notable. There is nothing sourced here and there is nothing to merge. No one who is unfamiliar with MST3K is going to be aware of these terms in the first place.

 * Delete according to the MST3K FAQ: "After the first few episodes of season one, "Gizmonic Institute" was almost never spoken of (except in the theme song) by anybody. After all, the Mads hadn't set foot inside Gizmonic since the KTMA days." In other words, it isn't even especially notable within the context of the show.

 * Delete- clearly. Very minor element, even in the context of the show itself. Sourcing is very poor, limited to the website of the series itself, and the obvious merge target Mystery Science Theater 3000 is already so bloated with unsourced trivial cruft that dumping another truckload into it would just make things worse. And I have to agree with Cow Of Pain that the de-prodder declaring pre-emptively that all his PRODs are invalid is not on. It's arguably harassment and indisputably a deliberate slap in the face.
