Tobacco (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver)

Let's have a discussion about whether or not this segment is notable. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:16, 23 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: I have nominated this article for deletion, but only for procedural purposes. I believe this segment meets Wikipedia's notability criteria and do not want the article to be deleted, but I've nominated it for deletion to start a second AfD discussion. The first AfD was for a different version of the article which was specifically about the mascot Jeff the Diseased Lung. I was surprised to see the first discussion result in a merge, because the nomination itself was flawed and others suggested notability was apparent. However, the article was merged, which I later expanded and made more inclusive. It now focuses on the segment in its entirety, and not just the mascot. With the segment's popularity, PMI's response, criticism of PMI's response, and praise for Oliver's marketing abilities, I believe this article clearly illustrates notability. I requested feedback on the article's talk page, and specifically requested a new AfD discussion instead of redirecting, but my request was not honored. So, I am nominating my own article for deletion for procedural purposes, not because I believe it should actually be deleted. I look forward to a discussion.
