 * Keep I don't know what policy says we shouldn't have a list of Mad's TV spoofs when we have lists of almost everything else in American pop culture. (I wonder if Mad is going to do a spoof on Wikipedia.) Steve Dufour (talk) 01:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:IINFO; Steve should prolly read WP:OSE. The fact that other similar lists exist is immaterial. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article begins with a four paragraph critical analysis of the spoofs this notable satiric magazine has been running for roughly half a century. Perhaps the magazine will publish a parody of AfD debates on Wikisnobia some day. Cullen328 (talk) 04:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect as subarticle under Mad_(magazine). The article begins with four paragraphs of original research, so those gotta go. Which would leave "A list of X." The list by itself is not notable. However, the magazine is itself notable, so in the context of the magazine, its history, and its take on pop culture over the last 50+ years, the list of spoofs is notable, but only in that context. So, redirect the list as a subarticle under Mad_(magazine). That's my !vote. Mtiffany71 (talk) 05:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, the only information this article adds to the links to the TV shows is their spoof name. The article could just as well be List of TV shows. J I P  &#124; Talk 13:31, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
