[edit] Re-cut trailers

The article is unencyclopedic, contains original research, is poorly formatted, has little value other than a farm of links to videos. It belongs more on something like ebaumsworld, not on Wikipedia. CSA956 01:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, WP:NOR, "poorly formatted" is not a reason why you should nominated the article for AFD. --Terence Ong 03:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep with cleanup and cites required, I'm not certain that this is OR. Paddles ^T_C 06:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with "Internet Phenomenon", assuming the Internet Phenomenon article holds water. The Recut Trailers article appears to describe a genuine occurrence, but I don't think it's worth the button-collecting of examples on top of examples of flash-in-the-pan momentarily notable movies.

• Keep with major cleanup and expansion. This has become a legitimate phenomenon, starting with the "Brokeback to the Future"/"Top Gun: Brokeback Squadron" thing, and has since exploded, with coverage at The Onion's AV Club. As "Trailer mashup," which is how I know them as and what the title likely should be, we see more coverage at BoingBoing, Wired, The Guardian to name a few. More than meets basic notability standards, easily verified. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Striped bass - These things seem notable enough to me. I don't know how well a merge with Internet phenomenon would go because that article is more of a list than an article. --Cyde↢Weys 13:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per badlydrawnjeff. ScottW 14:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep I've seen these kinds of videos before, as long as the article is kept clean I see no problem here. This should probably be Kept the same reason List of shock sites was.--Andeh 15:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per badlydrawnjeff and Cyde↢Weys. Could do with improvement, though. Molerat 17:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Re-cut trailer is an accepted term, that's enough for inclusion.CP/M 22:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is a notable internet fad. The article does need some work, though. Ace of Sevens 11:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment What's the original research? Darquis 05:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Badlydrawnjeff, this is a notable enough subject for coverage. Yamaguchi先生 15:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
