Summoner Geeks aka "The Dungeons And Dragons Sketch" and Take Down The Grand Master
The first is an exceptionally ugly article about an exceptionally non-notable song sketch of some sort, google pulls 313 unique for "Summoner Geeks", 8 for "The Dungeons and Dragons Sketch", 1 for the whole shebang; 99 for "Take Down The Grand Master". There are no actual claims of notability in either articles, and near as I can tell, WP:MUSIC burst into flames when I tried to ask it... I'd like to speedy them, but there is no criteria for this stuff. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 06:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't looks notable in the least. The claim of being in Summoner also needs to be verified. It looks like a sad attempt to justfy their notability, otherwise. --Apostrophe 07:29, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename Summoner Geeks aka "The Dungeons And Dragons Sketch" to Dead Alewives. On the fence on the album article. --Apostrophe 23:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination --Quarl 07:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised we don't have a page for Summoner from Volition, Inc., but the Dead Alewives video was distributed with the PS2 game. The Alewives were a bit of a local phenomenon in Milwaukee and caused some controversy. Keep, rename to Dead Alewives and big clean-up. -- JJay 08:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Message to nom- article concerns comedy troupe and video (not a song). -- JJay 09:09, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * It being with Summoner needs to be verified. If so, I will change my vote. --Apostrophe 21:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It's confirmed on most fan and industry sites linked to the game + on Volition's website. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote a long article on the sketch and the deal with Volition- Dead Alewives' sketch morphs into digital film. The video can be seen at Ifilm. -- JJay 01:36, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Heard of it. Heard the sketch.  Heard unending allusions to the sketch from pen-and-paper gamers.  Never played Summoner.  Anonymous Keep vote of little merit. 24.71.91.173 09:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Clarify - keep the Summoner Geeks page, though possibly under a different name. Delete Take Down The Grand Master. 24.71.91.173 09:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I first heard the sketch years ago...and it was likely a meaningful internet meme if people are still talking about it, and it was distributed with a PS2 game. Keep or merge appropriately.  Postdlf 09:16, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I fear Wikipedia is turning into a posting forum for every gamer and rock band wannabe in the world. Madman 16:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per JJay. Endomion 16:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per JJay. I created the album's page when I found the entry about the D&D sketch/video (which contained exactly the info I was looking for) and saw a redlink to the album title. The album page is an almost line-by-line recreation of one of the many many MANY other album listings which are also included in Wikipedia, containing approximately as much information as many others (and more than some) which are not being challenged, so please don't blame me for ugliness. I was just going by what appeared to be an acceptable template.  I would however have no problem with seeing this/these develop into a fuller article on the Dead Alewives themselves.  They certainly deserve one.  -- Arvedui 18:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are certainly a lot of album "info and track listing" articles, and the Dungeons and Dragons skit is popular in the older pen-and-paper RPG crowd. Heck, just mention the word "Cheetos" with older RPG gamers is good for a chuckle. Problem is, it's a "niche" article ... but Wikipedia has plenty of those, and this particular skit has at least some mainstream (non-RPG) following. --Justin Eiler 20:23, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
