Here's Johnny

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Improper dab page. This does not point to any actual entity called "Here's Johnny", just random things that use the phrase. The entries actually called "Here's Johnny" do not have their own articles and thus shouldn't be on the dab page Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:40, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Not wanting to take a stance on whether all the entries are appropriate, but one of the two I looked up has a relevant section (John Hicklenton), so that article easily passes WP:DABMENTION. – Uanfala 23:44, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep seems to be widely used enough phrase to substantiate DAB page. Deathlibrarian (talk) 10:49, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- either an inappropriate dab page (only one entry is blue linked: Now Here's Johnny Cash) or an indiscriminate collection of nn titles / mentions, failing WP:LISTN. Not suitabel for inclusion. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:08, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Fwiw, all the entries are bluelinked. The term that is being disambiguated does not necessarily need to appear as part of the linked article's title, see WP:DABMENTION. – Uanfala 21:42, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's possible that some trimming down could be performed, but of the three entries that I checked, two (John Hicklenton and Polka Party!) have relevant content about distinct topics known as "Here's Johnny", so the dab page passes WP:DABMENTION. – Uanfala 21:42, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 01:11, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even after deleting the copycat catchphrases, the original use (primary topic-ish), two songs (one of which charted) and a documentary are sufficient. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:10, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
