Only one source - we need multiple sources. Most of the article is trivia. Will (talk) 07:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like a non-notable catchphrase to me. Not enough sources and no real claim to notability as far as I can tell.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 13:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge the sourceable content into Sixteen Candles as it could be used to bolster the continuing notability of the film. --Metropolitan90 17:19, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't think these are reasons to delete the article. We can just add sources and information. Unless it's backed by a WP:N entry, "non-notable" is purely arbitrary in my mind, (although I've used it before).  Cool Blue  talk to me 20:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cool Blue. It's notable, it just needs more cites, which I'm sure can be gotten. Bearian 00:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect sourced material to Sixteen Candles. The mentions just barely pass the threshold for inclusion in the article; they do not warrant a separate article. Per WP:FICT fictional characters should be discussed in the main article for the fiction in which they appear. Otto4711 16:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - the subject of a long article in a major newspaper, so passes notability. I added a ref, so it can be improved. - Peregrine Fisher 20:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * merge and redirect per Otto4711. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 19:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
