[edit] Gay Hitler

I fail to see the relevance of this. I vote to delete. PersonDude 01:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Completed faulty nomination. Vote Keep as "failing to see relevance" is not a valid ground for deletion Xoloz 05:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches, helpfully linked for me on the page in question! Ashibaka (tock) 06:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Wasn't this on AfD before? Oh wait no, that was Hitler (South Park) (or something like that). Anyway, I don't see why this needs to go. I'd say keep it in its current place as a notable part of pop culture. I suppose I'd be okay with merging it into Hitler in popular culture, too. I don't really see a place for it on Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches, because that is a list, and a large one at that. Jacqui ★ 06:22, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, SNL characters should not have articles unless there is something exceptional about them. If kept, merge into Hitler in popular culture. -- Kjkolb 06:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep; the controversiality of a subject shouldn't influence its likelihood for deletion. -- Vote by 69.40.179.158
  • Keep. Is this the end of Gay Hitler? --DavidConrad 11:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge per kjkolb. Radiant_>|< 12:12, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep--Pamri • Talk 13:41, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Sprechen Sie keep? — Haeleth Talk 14:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep for now but I question if there is really a need to have a page for every single recurring SNL character. Perhaps at least use a 'Character name (SNL)' format for links. However as long as things remain as they are now should be kept Nil Einne 14:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I have been working at the SNL link above though I did not create it, and I see the merit in this line of thinking. Audience McGee is a red link at that page. You can see how important he is here! I'm thinking that, while we have a category for sketches and none for characters, it's the charatcers who would be better organized in category form, while I think an annotated list is still necessary for sketches. Perhaps we should take this conversation off the AfD page and to User:Leadpipevigilante, who "owns" the SNL list we've been referencing. If you're interested, please hit up my talk page as well.

  • Merge either into the SNL article - this isn't a stand alone charecter like the Coneheads or "Pat" (both of which had movies built around them) or even Mr. Bill, which developed its own cult following. Stu 14:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • If a merge does happen, I would suggest putting the information in Weekend Update instead, as that's where Gay Hitler shows up. Jacqui ★ 15:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I changed my mind. I change my vote to merge. 68.161.13.188 22:18, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge As stated above--sansvøix 23:21, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, by the way. I'm 68.161.13.188. PersonDude 23:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Don't destroy history! Jazz1979 03:15, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Hitler in popular culture or Weekend Update (sketch) or something. Andrew Levine 07:41, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Weekend Update (sketch). I'm the one who supposedly "owns" the SNL lists, but I just extensively expanded it from its original form. One idea I'd like to keep in place is having some information on each character somewhere - a lot are still red links, as it's quite an undertaking. I don't mind if they're merged together into categories (such as those that appeared on Update, or "Little Known Recurring characters" or something. Any suggestions for categories? The only thing is, we might have some that fit into more than one category, or some that don't fit anywhere. Leadpipevigilante 22:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
