The result was Redirect. Deletion is unnecessary and the merger of any content is left to editorial discretion. Eluchil404 21:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Here's looking at you, kid.
It's half a plot regurgitation of what's in Casablanca, half "X in popular culture". I recommend a redirect to the film. Clarityfiend 01:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

- Redirect, it's a famous enough title that I'm sure it would be quite a useful redirect. Nyttend 14:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Merge back into Casablanca, which includes a discussion of the film's modern impact. Mandsford 22:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Casablanca or delete, we don't need separate articles about individual film quotes. JIP | Talk 09:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Surely we mean Casablanca (film), not Casablanca, which is about the actual city the film happens in. JIP | Talk 18:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- No, I want this damn thing sent over to Morocco. Mandsford 23:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. But it seems that this quote will be redirected to its film, regardless. I could really fix up this article to be completely in line with Wikipedia standards, but I don't have enough time to fix up this article as the issue is now and am currently trying to hurry up and fix up some soap opera couple articles before they are tagged for deletion, though I have asked editors on the talk pages of those articles to hold off on tagging those articles for deletion, since I will get around to fixing them up as soon as I can. I'm not all that keen on having articles on Wikipedia about quotes, but such an iconic quote as this, I feel, deserves its own article. Oh, well. Flyer22 04:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- With this article seeming as though it will be redirected to its film, I'd prefer merging the Influences, parodies and spoofs section of this article into its film's article though. Flyer22 05:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. But then again.... if anybody wants to put the effort in of merging and redirecting they are free to do that too. Mathmo Talk 21:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It was voted fifth in the American Film Institute's 2005 poll of the "100 greatest movie quotes of all time", according to the article. Burntsauce 21:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Casablanca (film); I think that a worthy encyclopedia article might be able to be written on the line, but it's unlikely. A redirect will keep the history in case anyone decides to write that worthy encyclopedia article, so no harm done. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
