[edit] Space Goat

A recurring skit on an Australian radio station's morning show. Non-notable. Crabapplecove 04:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• By that standard this section of an article is dubious Saturday_Night_Live#Recurring_characters_and_sketches, The_Lives_of_Harry_Lime, as are many more - if the descriptions were more informative it'd be very similar to List_of_Seinfeld_episodes. It seems like the article has a better explanation of space goat than the one on Jay_and_the_Doctor, so perhaps the first paragraph from this article should replace the space goat bullet point on that page if this page were to go.

• Keep Triple J is most certainly notable, being a national broadcaster (well - part of one), that measn Space Goat is heard accross the country. Notable. (needs a cleanup though) Viridae^Talk 06:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
  • You realize that what you're saying opens the doors to every routine on Howard Stern's show being considered notable? And Bob & Tom's? Is David Letterman's "Will it Float" routine notable? Or Conan O'Brian's "In the Year 2000" skits? Notable and national broadcasters they are, yes, but must this notability extend to their every shtick?? wikipediatrix 18:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Then it should be possible to cite sources that discuss this joke, demonstrating that this article is not a novel synthesis constructed from listening to the radio show, that readers can verify this article without having to listen to the show themselves and draw conclusions, and that the article is not original research. Please cite sources. Uncle G 10:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge to jay and the Doctor -- GWO
• Delete. It is already mentioned in Jay and the Doctor until such time as it has an existence outside the JJJ Breakfast Show. There have been no mentions of this section in outside Australian media so citing sources as mentioned by Uncle G is difficult. Capitalistroadster 03:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • in outside Australian media — By "outside" do you mean other Australian media? Uncle G 08:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes. Capitalistroadster 01:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Rebecca 08:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom and Capitalistroadster. wikipediatrix 13:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, duplicated by what is already in Jay and the Doctor. Axing the episode list isn't a big lose. --TheFarix (Talk) 14:25, 28 July 2006
• Merge with jay and the doctor. (UTC)
• Merge as stated above. Orangehead 16:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this info is highly unlikely to be useful to anyone in the future. Mallanox 19:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, Space Goat T-shirt's are available in ABC stores! If not, at least merge. -- Chuq 07:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
