List of gags in the Naked Gun series
There are several problems with this article: And I say the above as one who liked the TV series and the first film a lot. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 15:55, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) The entire show is one long series of rapid-fire gags; there are hundreds of them. You might as well include the whole script as there are few bits which are not intended to be funny.
 * 2) Some things count as a gag in some eyes and not in others, other things might be counted as either gags or plot devices depending on POV. The list is subjective.
 * 3) I see no need for an article on the gags in the shows separate from the show articles themselves, which are not over-long.
 * 4) If the shows were generally serious then a list of humorous moments might be worth having, but since the concept is humorous this, too, does not argue for a separation of the humour to a separate article.
 * 5) It's listcruft.


 * Delete - got to agree, and I've previously thought of doing this myself. violet/riga (t) 16:00, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. It might be suitable for IMDB, but it's not encyclopedic. Pburka 16:36, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This entry has been present since July 2004, and although it's not encyclopedic, it does have some amusing entries...even if it is subjective.   Andrew73 17:40, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Andrew, please note that being amusing is not an inclusion criterion. Neither is being overlooked since July 2004. - Mgm|(talk) 11:26, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete much too crufty --Bucephalus &#91;&#91;User talk:Bucephalus&#124;&lt;small&gt;talk to me&lt;/small&gt;]] 11:31, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's just for fun, stop being so anal!  Ponch_316 1:44, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I thought this was an encyclopaedia, not a joke book. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 09:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete as trivial fancruft and lack of encyclopedic content. MCB 23:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
