I reject your reality and substitute my own
It's a comment from the host of a mildly popular show. While I love the show, and it's a great line, this doesn't deserve an article. UsaSatsui 03:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep it why would you not keep it it's a very popular saying no reason to get rid of it it sheds light on the phrase
 * Keep useful phrase, commonly quoted.
 * Strong Merge EDIT with Adam Savage's article : Librarianofages 03:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Richardcavell 03:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no merge, no redirect. I like the show, and I try to watch it every week, but I agree with the nominator.  It may merit a mention in the article on Adam Savage, the guy who said it. Brian G. Crawford 03:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I was wondering how long this article would last. If Wikiquote takes information on the events surrounding a particular quote, transwiki. If not (or in addition to), merge to Adam Savage, or failing that, delete. -- Saberwyn 11:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Already mentioned in both Adam Savage's and Mythbusters's articles, no need to keep this cruft - Hobbeslover 03:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll tell you why. For one, despite it's "popularity", I've yet to hear it outside of the show itself.  It has not seen any significant use in pop culture I'm aware of.  It's not even really a catchphrase, as Adam himself doesn't really repeat it.  Second, everything witty or famous that's said doesn't get its own article.  Even famous lines like "May the Force be with you", which might deserve thier own article, don't get one.  Finally, it doesn't even really shed light on the phrase.  All it says is "Adam said it, and he probably pulled it from an obscure movie".  There's nothing that can really be added to that.  Heck, the page was created with the quote attributed to the wrong guy.  How can it be notable if the page creator doesn't even know who said it?  --UsaSatsui 00:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It is notable. You must not be hanging out with nerdy enough people who watch movies like The Dungeonmaster.  My brother went crazy when he heard Adam say that.  Not only that, but I looked it up as an adjunct to the Adam Savage article just now, because I wanted to see the full history of the phrase itself.  Keep it!  CuteGargoyle 04:41, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * From my experience, this phrase it particularly well known and directly associated to MythBusters, as well as being quoted enough to enter Pop Culture quotes. However, I think this page should stay, as I think the quote needs to be properly referenced as not originally coming from MythBusters. Alternatively, chuck The Dungeonmaster link in the main Mythbusters article ~ Anklepants
 * You guys keep saying that the article explains the "history" of the quote. I'm sorry, but there is no real "history" besides "it came from a movie made in 1985.  Adam said it 20 years later on his TV show, maybe borrowing from that movie".  That's it.  It's not even something he says all the time, like a catchphrase.  Unless you can pull out a source to prove it's gone beyond just Adam, I'm not convinced it's worth a whole article, expecially one this small that will never really grow.  I agree with the Merge votes.  That can be easily done, and won't deprive anyone of information. --UsaSatsui 06:13, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
