[edit] The Rich Sheik
A decidedly non-notable video which generates ninety unique ghits. Usual blogesque plugs, YouTube and GVideo links, but nothing to suggest anything has been written about this that would meet WP:V. Undoubtedly fails WP:WEB, but it's the lack of reporting that really proves this is NN. Was prod'd, prod removed by author. Given the lack of evidence for notability, I think delete is the Right Thing to do. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC) Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This article meets WP:V because it is verifiable. A added a link on the article. It also meets WP:WEB and WP:N because it is on the famous comedy central website along with many others. Its fame has sperad across the web. It is now even on YouTube and GVideo because of this.--Taida 21:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Strong, strong, strong, SUPERSTRONG delete I thought I'd seen this on TV recently, and I had- it was a sketch on Mind of Mencia. This, of course, would explain why the video is on comedycentral.com. Not much else needs to be said- it was a one-time skit (Better Know A District, this is not) that was in no way important or acclaimed enough to have its own article. If there was an article dealing with recurring sketches on Mind of Mencia (as there is for Chappelle's Show), it would not even deserve a mention on that page. -- Kicking222 22:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

- I don't think you should be able to decide what is important or acclaimed. The Rich Sheik is a music video, not a one time skit. Many people's hard work went into the making of this and you call it a one time skit. I also don't think there is anything wrong with articles that are about one time skits either.--Taida 00:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete It's not notable, it's not encyclopaedic, it's not particularly useful, there are few sources besides the primary one available... etc. GassyGuy 07:37, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
