• Merge to Colbert Report. FCYTravis 03:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: No google hits for hiphopketball or jazzebration. TimBentley 03:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to The Colbert Report miscellania. Dbtfz 03:56, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete We can't go listing every sketch he's ever done. --InShaneee 04:57, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• "'Keep'" By that train of logic we should delete all the famous Monty Python sketches. Or let's start deleting Shakespeare's plays. Just because he's more modern doesn't mean his work is any less relevant than all the other greats. --rarwalker 21:06, 15 January 2006 (PST)
  • Do you have any sources to suggest this is a 'famous' sketch? --InShaneee 05:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • So, you are comparing this guy with Monty Python and Shakespeare? Oh, puh-lease!! Madman 05:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as worthless piece of information. And please don't create it as a redirect - nobody is going to search on this. Cyde Weys 2M-VOTE 05:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep By your train of logic we should also delete Ministry of Silly Walks.--Rarwalker 05:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This user has already voted, above. Andrew Levine 09:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or at the very least merge in it's entirety This is no more useless than The Fall of the Mutants. If Truthiness can be it's own article so can this.--GMEsch 05:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Not an apt analogy, as truthiness is now a major cultural phenomenon. - Reaverdrop 20:53, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is User GMESCH's first edit. Andrew Levine 01:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to main article. Colbert's show is notable, as the public reaction to Truthiness shows, but individual sketches not known by 35 years of reruns, or written up by newspapers, news agencies and societies of cunning linguists probably aren't worthy of their own articles. --Fire Star 05:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per InShaneee ("We can't go listing every sketch he's ever done"). Madman 05:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to miscellania article along with works by Stephen Colbert, the persona. Frozenpork 07:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to miscellania article and Delete. Andrew Levine 09:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as appropriate and Delete TigerShark 23:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with miscellania article. Vash The Stampede 02:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• merge with The Colbert Report. --Bachrach44 03:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable and per InShaneee. Note: merge and delete are incompatible under the GFDL; any merge would have to be accompanied by a redirect to retain author attribution. Zunaid 08:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with the miscellania article. While absolutely hilarious, this fake documentary has only been referenced once in the show. Merge it for now, and if it's referenced a few more times, give it its own article. It's too small to have an article at the moment. --Freakazette 21:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I now agree it should be merged with The Colbert Report or other similar article unless like Freakazette says it is utilized many times.--Rarwalker 23:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. It is not notable to be merged into The Colbert Report miscellania because it has only appeared once. --waffle iron 00:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge either into Colbert Report or the misc. article. AngryParsley ^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with the miscellania article. And change the title to "Stephen Colbert's Hiphopketball: A Jazzebration", with a colon. Ezradf 05:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I second the colon needed after Hiphopketball. - Reaverdrop 16:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into The Colbert Report miscellania. badmonkey 07:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into miscellania. Nobi 11:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
