[edit] Hooty Sapperticker

Hooty Sapperticker (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - does not appear to be the subject of multiple third-party sources. The one source cited in the article, Dave Barry's column, mentions the song in passing in less than a paragraph. Otto4711 04:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I'm a Dave Barry fan (sigh... I was hoping not to have to admit this) but even a mention in a Dave Barry column does not guarantee notability. --N Shar 04:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete a song by a non-notable band generally cannot be notable. Wooyi 05:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Dave Barry is fun, but Dave Barry talking about how silly something sounds doesn't make it notable, it just shows how silly Dave Barry thinks it sounds. Though I have to agree, it does sound quite silly. --Dennisthe2 06:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Barry even refers to the song in his column as non-notable. Krimpet 06:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, From google there is a result for 340 at least. Quite a significant number for a very old song from the 50's. Could be something worthwhile there. I'm very tempted to vote Keep, but to tired at the moment to search around and find anything that supports my gut feeling. Thus for now, I Abstain. Mathmo ^Talk 12:20, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Many of those google results appear to be someone on one or more message boards who uses "Hooty Sapperticker" as an ID. Otto4711 13:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Another Comment, there seems to have been a range of similar names (i.e. hootie rather than hooty, or three words rather than two words in the title, etc...) this song has been called. Perhaps an alternative search would produce better results (though I do believe this is the most common/correct name that we have here already). Mathmo ^Talk 12:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
