The Walker Texas Ranger lever

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - no independent reliable sources attest to the notability of this gag either within the context of the show or in the "real world." The information is well-covered at Sketches from Late Night with Conan O'Brien and normally I would simply boldly redirect this article there but since I imagine that lever fans would find that controversial I bring it here. A result of either delete or redirect would be equally satisfactory. Otto4711 13:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect would be the solution I'd support. FrozenPurpleCube 15:33, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ridiculous - whoever is trying to delete this is ridiculous. it deserves its own page based on the fact that, A)  its not a 'sketch'  B)  its unlike anything done on the show or any other show  C)  the fact that there is enough information to take up as much space as the WTRL wiki page does is reason alone not to delete it.  Notability??  have you ever seen the Lever pulls?  people go crazy for this shit.  i haven't seen "Actual Items" or any other segment all over the internet on countless websites.  the Walker Texas Ranger Lever deserves its own (smaller article) on the Late Night wiki page and should link to this much more expansive article.  Google "walker texas ranger lever" or "walker lever" to find its NOTABILITY....Lossleaders 05:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see any evidence of notability beyond a tiny slice of individuals - and "people go crazy for this shit" is hyperbole even for those few people. Deli nk 11:40, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and, if we really must, redirect the page to Sketches from Late Night with Conan O'Brien but in all honesty I can't see many people typing "The Walker Texas Ranger Lever" into the Wikipedia search box. A1octopus 14:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect - unreferenced, seems like blatant original research. Moreschi Talk 14:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * wow - this will be the last time i ever do any research on anything and put it on wiki.  this is by far the most exhaustive information on the WTRL and someone decides to just take it down cos they think it isn't notable enough.  can't you go fuck with wiki peat moss or something?Lossleaders 19:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, it's usually not effective to attack the nomination. It's much more preferable to comment on the subject of the article, instead.  This is because attacking the nomination really only applies when the nominator has made a severe and obvious mistake, or when the conduct is obviously disruptive, but not in cases where there is a good-faith concern.  Since Otto4711 is a regular editor, and frequent contributor to AFD, I consider it unlikely he's engaging in any bad conduct.  Thus you may wish to rethink your statements.
