[edit] 50 Greatest Comedy Catchphrases

50 Greatest Comedy Catchphrases (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The notability of this highly subjective and British-slanted list doesn't appear to be obvious. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Unsourced list, unlikely to be sourced. No notability asserted for the list; probably a one-time airing that got reran ad nauseam without leaving an impact. Furthermore, they left out "That's Numberwang!". Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Not a single sourced, non-notable. I don't see a reason to keep this. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Can I do you now, sir? The TV show is techically notable since it has been noticed by reliable sources such as the UK press. But the real content here is the catchphrases and the TV show is best seen as a source which verifies them and their notability. So, move this to List of comedy catchphrases and make the show one of the sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 10:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - List isn't even complete. Jjaazz (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, if this is, as stated, "a list broadcast on the British Channel 4" surely it's a WP:COPYVIO and should have been speedied? -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 14:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as unreferenced and inherently POV.--Berig (talk) 15:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete, copyvio. Intellectual property of the broadcasting entity. Corvus cornixtalk 23:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
