[edit] Psycho Dad

Psycho Dad (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - prod removed by anon, which, whatever. Fails WP:N as there are no reliable sources that demonstrate that this fictional TV show has any real-world notability. Otto4711 (talk) 01:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, doesn't demonstrate notability outside of Married... with Children universe. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep to my surprise, significantly many relevant ghits and seems to be used as a cultural touchpoint by people; there's enough to make an article though this one needs work. JJL (talk) 01:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • In looking through the results of a Google search on this term [1] I was surprised by how many of the 91k hits for it were relevant, and by how many were fan pages for it (this [2] is from the 32nd page of the search), by how many references there were to it among fictional TV shows and dads (e.g. [www.tvsquad.com/2007/09/13/top-ten-tv-psychos/] from the 33rd page of the search), and by how many blogs, bands [3], etc. use it as a reference. Not the most compelling case ever, I'll grant, but I was surprised by its prevalence. Many of these hits have the lyrics so unlike [4], [5] it's easy to tell it isn't a coincidental use of the term.

•Keep - The Psycho Dad fictional TV show has real-world notability like youtube which is a reliable source that reflects popular culture- Psycho Dad YouTube Search- Psycho Dad Compilation and Psycho Mom,people on MySpace also use it as their profile name- MySpace PsychoDad- Another MySpace PsychoDad, and there is also a fan-made lyrics page - Psycho Dad Fan's Lyrics therefore I recommend it should be kept.Seralph — Seralph (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • Youtube is not a reliable source and has never been a reliable source for the notability of anything. Provide published commentary. Your other links are not reliable sources. Corvus cornixtalk 04:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge into MWC or Al Bundy article. Great show-within-a-show though! Lugnuts (talk) 09:56, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the MWC article. No notability outside of the television programme. Lankiveil (complaints | disco) 13:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC).
  • Redirect to Married with Children or Al Bundy article. There is no reliable sources that prove it's notable outside of the series. RobJ1981 (talk) 23:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
