Wheel of Fortune (MADtv Sketch)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Sketch from a TV show. The article appears to be transcript and description of the sketch, with no indication of notability. No sources or independent media coverage. Anything of note is already covered at MADtv. Think outside the box 12:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Individual sketches from TV shows are generally not notable enough for their own articles. There are a few exceptions, but this one isn't one of them. An example of a sketch that would justify an article is "Rinse the Blood off My Toga", a Wayne and Shuster sketch that introduced the catchphrase "Julie, don't go!" to the lexicon in the 1950s and 60s. And even IT hasn't rated an article on Wikipedia. 23skidoo (talk) 12:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not deserve its own article, but I wouldn't be against creating an article that's a compilation of recurring MADtv characters and sketches such as Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches. SWik78 (talk) 13:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to MADtv. Very, very few individual sketches are notable enough for their own article; this isn't one of them.--Fabrictramp (talk) 15:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. That article is for recurring sketches. By all indications provided by this article, the sketch was a one-time thing. 23skidoo (talk) 18:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete One-time sketch, nothing special about it. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * D_L_T_. Non-notable one-off sketches should just be offed, per 23skidoo. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong delete per 23skidoo. archanamiya  ·  talk  21:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Funny, no doubt, but not classic; mention it in the MadTV article and give us a youtube.com link. More cowbell, the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches, and The Lumberjack Song meet the criteria because of popularity and need for explanation to the unacquainted, but I'm not crazy about those as separate articles either.
