You, Dad! I Learned it From Watching You!


Is this (alleged -- I've never seen it, at least) public service announcement really sufficiently notable? Delete. --Nlu (talk) 17:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete As a product of the 80s, I don't remember this. Though the poor misspellings and article is rather funny, delete! Missvain 18:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * weak delete unless not paper applies. I just can't see someone looking this up 100 years from now and saying, "ah, yes." It's not as memorable as This is Your Brain on Drugs, but I remember it. It was especially poignant as I was recovering from co-dependency at the time. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim  18:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just because I remember it (and someone else does) does not make it notable. -- Mikeblas 18:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I remember this PSA. Was it in the '80's? Really? Doesn't seem that long ago.  Now you're just making me feel old.    This PSA never had the staying power of This is Your Brain on Drugs-- we'll be hearing that phrase forever. Wikipedia is not a dictionary of quotations. But Wikiquote is.  How about putting it there?OfficeGirl 18:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: Ineffective propaganda from the ONDCP is not notable. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. --Howrealisreal 19:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete The PSA was aired for a while and the catch phrase was mocked by school children and comedians. Relatively forgetable on its own. Might fit into some larger war on drugs or PSA article.--Nick Y. 19:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, the correct quote is "You alright! I learned it by watching you!" Anyway, the quote appears to be referenced in a few news articles:  , so I don't know, I'd say Keep.  Wavy G 19:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, or Merge into a better-titled TV drug advertisement article. I think this was on air in the early 90's, actually. The article needs sources, of course. But I definitely remember seeing it (I'm in my 20s). Chubbles1212 20:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I remember a lot of non-notable things I saw on TV in the 1990's.Nothing here to satisfy WP:N. Edison 23:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename as appropriate. This is a notable catchphrase and verifiable sources definitely exist for it.  RFerreira 05:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Highly noted PSA, and i'm fairly certain it's been parodied in other areas, too. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a non-notable piece of propaganda(no negative connotation intended). It was one of dozens of anti-drug commercials, and I don't see any example of this entering main stream culture in any way. The citations shown only mention it in passing. HighInBC (Need help?
