[edit] Monkey washing a cat
Completing a nom. Original rationale for deletion was: "not_encyclopedic" Tizio 13:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - not encyclopedic, not notable and literally to stupid. Chessy999 (talk) 02:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- "not_encyclopedic" is kind of vague but there are no references except for youtube. Epthorn (talk) 13:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Keep(?) - I've edited this stub and am not sure how to evaluate the notability of a short clip of stock footage. My best guess is to compare this to web content, as this is by now mostly known via youtube and similar postings. Although those are clearly "trivial" coverage, I submit that repeated use on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, accompanied with commentary, qualifies as criterion #3 for Wikipedia:Notability (web). If you find that to still be "trivial," then the thing should probably be deleted. Feeeshboy (talk) 15:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete There have to be hundreds of thousands of amusing film clips a few seconds long. Absent multiple independent and reliable sources with substantial coverage of this one, it fails WP:N. Why should we have an article on every film clip showed on a late night comedy talk show? That said, it is funny. Maybe soimeone can find some references to give it encyclopedic context.
