[edit] Five-Minute Funnies (TV pilot)

Five-Minute Funnies (TV pilot) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There are only about 80 hits on Google for the name of this sketch show, and almost all of them are either this Wikipedia article or copies of it on other sites, or are links to information about other people who use "five minute funnies" as the title for their own unrelated activities. The program On the Lot had tens of thousands of films submitted to it, so that doesn't make this notable. There are no references or claims to notability in the article, and I can't find reliable sources for information about this unsold program. LastChanceToBe 02:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Again, the series wasn't created for the express purpose of the On The Lot contest. Because the show is an attempt to bring mainstream industry jobs to the Pacific Northwest, it is the first of it's kind and garners mention. The creators of the show submitted one sketch out of 12 final products in an attempt to gather more attention about the show. That is all the competition has in regards to the importance of the show, so it is immaterial to the discussion here. This article was a working and edited part of Wikipedia for eight months preceeeding this nomination, and deserves mention simply because of the unique endeavor being attempted by the creators. --CmdrClow 02:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

• The comment that On the Lot doesn't make this sketch show notable isn't the thrust of the argument. The comment is intended to point out that I looked into this, and that being on the On the Lot website isn't an indication of notability. Therefore, this is materially important to point out.

• Delete no, it does not deserve mention because it is non notable. ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 04:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Give me something besides "it's from the Pacific Northwest". TV pilots aren't notable on their own. Citicat 05:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete it's not notable. --Fredrick day 13:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
