[edit] Penelope (SNL)

Penelope (SNL) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - article obviously fails WP:WAF, WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:N as there are no independent reliable sources that attest to the notability of this utterly forgettable and insignifiacnt character. The notability of SNL doesn't mean that every piddling little character who shows up in a couple of sketches should have its own article. Prod removed by an anon IP without comment which, as far as I'm concerned if some anonymius IP so-called "editor" wanders through removing prods without bothering to justify the removal it ought to be ignored but here we are wasting five days instead.

• Comment There's quite a few other insignificant characters/sketches which can be found at Category:Saturday Night Live sketches and/or linked from Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches. Whether that means Penelope (SNL) should stay, or a lot of other similar articles should be deleted too, I'm not sure. Another possibility might be to simply incorporate the info into Saturday Night Live TV show sketches. Chuck (talk) 00:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

• A couple of editors have been on something of an SNL kick of late, putting up articles on all sorts of characters and individual episodes. I've been working my way through the category trying to winnow out the non-notable articles as I find them. I think this is the only one that I've prodded that's had to come to AFD, and of course the reason the prod was removed was simply stellar. Otto4711 (talk) 23:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete While I love Kristen Wiig and this character in particular, it is ultimately NN. —  MusicMaker5376 23:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Characters like this, especially one-riff characters, apparently drawn from the actor's standup or improv repertory, can comfortably be handled summarily within the actor's individual entry. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 00:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
