Hyoscine-pentothal

 * – (View AfD) (View log)


 * The article is about a fake fictional truth serum on the Television show 24. It has no notability, no references, and is a brief compilation of facts from the various seasons and episodes from which it is used, and is entirely duplicative with those descriptions.

 * Delete: Non notable, however if people feel it is important to the show, merge with the shows article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:22, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is useful to correct any wrong ideas about real pentothal and hyoscine that the viewing public may get from seeing the television show 24. I have put incoming disambig hatlinks in pages Pentothal and Hyoscine. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Even it is useful, it also needs to be notable, and have things like creator commentary and fan reaction and things like that. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Two points for Keep:
 * "a fake truth serum": In the fictional world of the 24 story it is real and is (all too) effective. In the real world it is a " fictional truth serum", and Wikipedia has many entries for fictional drugs: see Category:Fictional drugs.
 * "is entirely duplicative": in the episode descriptions the information about hyoscine-pentothal is scattered mixed with much other matter and would have to be ferreted for; it is not collected together. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
