The result was   Withdrawn. I'm still not convinced that this is encyclopedic info, but the consensus is stacked against me. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 22:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

List of Mad's movie spoofs
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

These are indiscriminate, unsourced lists of every movie and TV that Mad has ever parodied. While I'm a semi-fan of the magazine, I think that such lists violate WP:NOT and WP:NOT. Furthermore, these would be hard to source, save for using the individual magazines as sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 20:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep As for list of mad issues, these are not indiscriminate -- but veruy specifically targetted. The comment in teat AfD, below, that the material on MAD so great that we must divide the articles this way is highly relevant here as well. DGG (talk) 22:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep... but why not move this information to Mad magazine? Michael Q. Schmidt (talk) 06:00, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That article is full, being 96K already. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep A useful appendix to our coverage of Mad magazine. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable topic relating to a notable magazine, easily verified by the magazine itself (and if that's not good enough, buy the CD-ROM "Totally Mad" which contains every issue ever printed; alternately there are numerous websites on the subject. In addition, this is a useful index of film parody, as by its very nature only notable films (or certainly films that satisfy Wiki's notability criteria) would be listed. 23skidoo (talk) 23:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
