Porklips Now

 * Delete. I do not believe that the article in question is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. &mdash; Mike &bull; 03:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Per imdb, and okay google test. Yanksox (talk) 03:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep It's definately got some TV play - I remeber seeing it on UK TV back in the 80s, which I guess is an indication of some notability. Also I remember it asbeing kinda funny. Artw 05:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I guess it's in IMDB. That makes it somewhat notable and credible.  -- Alphachimp   talk  06:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, this is at least marginally notable, per above. --Coredesat 10:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, and IMDB entry doesn't make something notable. After googling, there doesn't appear to be much notability outside of a small group. - Motor (talk) 13:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Being in IMDB is not sufficient to establish notability by itself, and the article makes no other claims. Google test does not give good evidence of notability in my view, too many false hits. Delete  + +Lar: t/c 13:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. It's verifiable (and verified), NPOV and not OR. Those are the three necessary criteria; notability doesn't have as much consensus on Wikipedia as a criterion for inclusion but even there it has enough, I feel, to be included along with 1,000,000+ articles. It's like libraries. The little local one will only have major works in English, works which are likley to be consulted every month, at least. [Widener Library at Harvard, has 3 million books including shelves of things in Sanskrit or medieval Catalan, works that might be consulted once every half century.

 * Keep - notable film with national commercial distribution (granted, 25 years ago) from a notable filmmaker. Easily meets notability criteria. TheRealFennShysa 15:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Gad, I actually remember this from a showing on the local late-night "Creature Features" back in the 80s. But boy, does the article need a buffing-and-polishing. --Calton | Talk 01:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - another classic film parody. Why is the notability on these even being questioned? MikeWazowski 04:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - along with Hardware Wars is a classic, seminal movie spoof by Ernie Fosselius. -- LeflymanTalk 05:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
