Clear case of non-notable subject Jweiss11 (talk) 12:00, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge any relevant information to Lou Holtz p  b  p  13:11, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge, then Delete. Should be condensed to one to three sentences and merged to main Lou Holtz article.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 13:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. After carefully re-reading the article several times, I am forced to concur with Cbl, Jweiss and GrapedApe: there is no substance worth merging to the main Lou Holtz article.  This non-recurring event was, in effect, a one-time celebrity roast, with no meaningful on-going philanthropic purpose.  Delete per WP:EVENT.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)


 *  Delete per nom and lack of coverage in independent verifiable sources. Cbl62 (talk) 15:54, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge a few lines to the Holtz biography. Basis of this argument is that Wikipedia is not a news summary and there is no lasting significance to this one night gala event. Carrite (talk) 17:20, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

The mention of this evening that took place as a suggestion from a Bo Schembechler fan, is part of and significant to the American College Football history. We all have opinions about this and that is fine. But the evening stands as an historical event. Thank you for the feedback. Along the way, this Wiki page has and will continue to receive a lot of responses. There are several and many pages that readers can argue for or against inclusion in this service. Again, thank you for reading and for the suggestions. Please appreciate and respect our decision for the article to remain as part of this great vehicle, Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhettt (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Non-notable, and probably not even enough salvageable to merge to Lou Holtz--GrapedApe (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Cbl62 and GrapedApe, I don't think there's anything worth merging into Lou Holtz here. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:26, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The evening does not stand as an historical enough event per Wikipedia guidelines at WP:EVENT. Bringing up the fact that there are pages out there that don't deserve articles yet still have them is absolutely true but completely irrelevant. Also, what do you mean by "our decision for the article to remain" (emphasis added by me)? It very much sounds like you're working for a group of people or an organization and have a conflict of interest due to the promotional nature of the event on Wikipedia. I can't help but !vote delete on this. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:25, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dirtlawyer1 and especially Jrcla2. There's nothing meaningful to merge to the Lou Holtz article. cmadler (talk) 14:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
