Jeopardy! theme music

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is filled with conjecture and trivia and lists only a single reference: an estimation of the royalties Merv Griffin received from the song's use. The level of detail is far greater than what is necessary. Additionally, references to alternate versions and random solitary incidents where the traditional music was not used far outnumber the usefulness of the other information within the article. The article should be trimmed down to a small paragraph with some referenced history and reincorporated into the main Jeopardy! article. Sottolacqua (talk) 13:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as insanely detailed trivia. A summary in the Jeopardy! article should suffice. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 16:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The last sentence of the nominator appears to promote merging a reduced amount of content. In that case we don't need any deletion. We can simply redirect and discuss what to merge there, or find someone who has access to sources to actually do it. - Mgm|(talk) 10:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep The Jeopardy theme music is pretty iconic. There are lots of RS references, as typified by a Google Books search.  Current article state is in need of referencing and cleanup, but all indications are that that is possible. Jclemens (talk) 05:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep concur that the Jeopardy theme music is iconic and oft-referenced. JJL (talk) 00:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge this can go into the Jeopardy page if it isn't already there.Nomad2u2001 (talk) 02:27, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per the book search, and the fact that it's used separate from the game show in popular culture. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 10:31, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – at the very least the "Think!" cue (for those who don't know, the music they play while the contestants are writing down their Final Jeopardy question/response) is easily notable enough for its own article. MuZemike 15:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
