[edit] Prince Albert in a Can

Prince Albert in a Can (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unreferenced prank phone call. Even if it is a classic, it is still not verifiable. This would be acceptable as a section in an article on Prince Albert tobacco, but there is no such article. There is no need for an article to stand alone about the joke. Accordingly, delete as unverifiable and without sufficient notability for its on article. —C.Fred (talk) 16:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Prank call. It is already mentioned there, and as something of a "classic" it's certainly a viable search term. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 16:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect seems viable, though an article on John Middleton Inc. would also be desirable. FrozenPurpleCube 17:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect - Same as above. A whole new article isn't needed for a prank when there's already a master list elsewhere. TheInfinityZero 17:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• NOTE: The article already redirects to Prince Albert tobacco, which has a section about the prank call. ◄Zahakiel► 18:39, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• The move along with more information is an acceptable solution - though it might have been nice of the editor who moved the page to drop a note here on the AfD ;) No harm done. Anyway, for what it is worth, keep the new version. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 18:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Arkyan, yours was the second edit conflict while I was trying to drop said note. ;-) --Dhartung | Talk 18:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Mine was probably the first. I apparently found the page just after you'd completed the move :) Oh, yeah.. and Keep the new version. ◄Zahakiel► 18:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. I have boldly moved the article to Prince Albert tobacco, which was half its content in any case, and begun sourcing this top brand. --Dhartung | Talk 18:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep New version is sourced/notable/generally encyclopedic. Calgary 18:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into Prince Albert tobacco — no wait, that's been done. I think we have closure here folks. By the way, is your refrigerator running? Well you'd better catch it? (Same genre and era as the Prince Albert joke.) Realkyhick 20:04, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• Closing comment. Are you German? Are you Swedish? Are you Danish? Are you Finnish? This AfD is. Since the merge is already done, and the new target article is notable, I'm closing the AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 21:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
