What Is… Cliff Clavin?

Only sources are the user-submitted J-Archive.com and TV.com and an unreliable trivia site. The fact that Jeopardy! has made countless references to this is immaterial if said references can't be reliably sourced. A thorough search on Gnews and Gbooks turned up no reliable secondary sources whatsoever. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 22:06, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Ignore All Rules for the fanboys. People come to Wikipedia for this stuff, true fact. Carrite (talk) 03:11, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * tentative keep the intro suggests it is a distinctive enough episode to warrant a separate page. There are other sources not available on the web, but I am not a Cheers! fan. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Inherent notability.  Where else can we find stupid stuff like this except Wikipedia.  Long live trivial yet notable television episodes.  EnabledDanger (talk) 21:22, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Simple searches on GNews and Gbooks turns up numerous reliable secondary sources including:
 * The psychobiology of Cliff Clavin
 * This is Jeopardy!
 * Television "Cheers": A Comprehensive Guide
 * ''...some of the best episodes...
 * Jump the Shark

The nomination is therefore blatantly counterfactual. Colonel Warden (talk) 21:09, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
