 * Delete Completely unotable, it showed up for one quick flashback in the Family Guy move. Redirect to Airdancers. Thanks Andrew!  Kntrabssi 16:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. One joke from one episode of a show. No refs to back up the author's claims of notability in response to the prod tag; highly doubtful that any exist. Also, to repeat every joke from a cartoon show with screenshots would be copyvio. Feeeshboy 13:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I would like to add that the creator of the offending page removed a prod tag added by above user. Kntrabssi 13:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment That is correct. Feeeshboy 14:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

*Redirect either to Airdancers or Merge+Redirect to whatever Family Guy episode that's from.-- Wizardman 03:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC) (Struck through to prevent COI as I close this)-- Wizardman  14:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC) Redirect to the Family Guy episode this appeared in, as Wizardman said.

 * Destroy with an Orbital Laser One joke from Family Guy, of many jokes. Family Guy itself doesn't have an article for the concept of a "Manatee Gag", so why should this individual joke qualify? Cheers, Lankybugger ○ speak ○ see ○ 14:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is an extremely rare term that in my eyes do not need its own article. If it has to be mentioned at all, it should be done in another article. Summer Song 13:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * These things exist in real life, except without faces. I just have no idea what they are called. But yeah, delete. Recury 15:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect Those are called Airdancers, and since there's no article there, there's noplace to redirect this to, so just delete . Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and started an Airdancer article, with a sentence about the Family Guy joke, and a redirect there might work. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * AWESOME. Recury 17:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, so much better! Feeeshboy 18:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There was actually an article already, called Cold-air Inflatables. However since Andrew's article is much better I've redirected that one to his.  Eliminator JR  Talk  22:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Fiction is not fact. Clearly an encyclopaedia article sourced to a work of fiction, especially a work of comedy fiction, isn't going to correctly describe the real world. I was going to opine that a redirect seemed pointless, until I read the fascinating note at the very bottom of this page that states that people do come to companies that sell these things and ask for "Wacky Wavy inflatable flailing arm tube dudes".  Redirect. Uncle G 23:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and WP:DAFT (note that this can still be DAFTed even if turned into a redirect...). Grutness...wha?  00:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, seen briefly in Family Guy. Constitutes cruft. --Wirbelwind ヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Airdancer as noted above - not a recurring character. &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 20:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin: Image:Wackywavinginflatablearmflailingtubemanandgrandma.jpg should also be removed. &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 20:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as one-episode joke, unencyclopaedic and non-notable Suriel1981 00:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
