This character article does not establish notability independent SNL. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 18:26, 9 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * Merge or Redirect to Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches where characters have notability.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Article suck. Delete. Yeah, it was a funny recurring skit, but not worth an article.  The article's creator, who, thankfully, remains anonymous, ruined the joke anyway -- the skit was called "Christmas With Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein", with Frankenstein in large letters.  None of the SNL writers were nerdy enough to say "Oh, Frankenstein wasn't the monster's name".  The painfully humorless description of the joke as "sort of holiday greeting in the pidgin English style previous portrayals of the characters had made famous" kills any mirth this might have been generated back in 1990.

 * Keep (or merge per MichaelQSchmidt). If the article "sucks", it needs to be improved, not deleted. Owen&times; &#9742;  20:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's still not worth its own article. This routine is nothing more than one of the hundreds of skits that have been seen on SNL over the last 33 years.  Granted, there have been some very notable routines that started on SNL and then achieved notability beyond the television show.  This isn't one of those routines.  Merge would be alright, if it isn't already mentioned somewhere there already.  Mandsford (talk) 20:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches. This non notable characters don't need a individual article in Wikipedia. Zero Kitsune (talk) 16:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
