Mister Robinson's Neighborhood[edit]

It's a short parody sketch. Nothing much is said. Radiant! 12:44, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

    • Ok, turns out to be a known sketch from a famous show. Still I'd vote for merging there. Radiant! 10:13, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Yeah, just a sketch (actually, a series of them) but a pretty widely known and well-remembered one. I remember reading that Fred Rodgers himself enjoyed the homage. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:17, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, We have articles on other SNL skits, and this one was quite memorable and funny. DaveTheRed 21:10, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment, I cleaned up the article to show that the skit is from SNL, and also added the stub notice. DaveTheRed 21:18, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, SNL fancruft. Megan1967 00:29, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, important SNL skit starring Eddie Murphy. If we can have an article on Linda Richman, surely we can have one on this. I'm getting verklempt. I'll give you a topic: The Brady Bunch were neither Bradys nor a bunch. Discuss amongst yourselves. Mike H 02:37, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
    • Rhode Island is neither a road, nor an island. Discuss amongst yourseves. DaveTheRed 06:36, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Well known and long-running sketch on Saturday Night Live. I believe other recurring skits for SNL and other shows have their own articles, so why not this one. 23skidoo 02:54, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per above, or merge maybe. Kappa 04:21, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Rhobite 05:21, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. One of the most notable sketch series on SNL. /sɪzlæk˺/ 06:04, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sketches from TV programs aren't encyclopedic. Might merit a mention in the article about the show. --BM 20:11, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. This is the type of pop-culture minutia well known in certain circles that we may not need articles on, but if someone bothers to write about it encyclopedically, keeping it does no harm. -- Infrogmation 17:06, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a somewhat notable subject, and though it's a sub-category, it doesn't mean we should delete it. Plus, I've seen invididual articles about things such as shock sites, such as goatse.cx, even though it's part of a much broader category. Oklonia 01:46, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are plenty of articles on sketches from TV shows, minor characters, fictional places in TV shows, etc. See Category:television series stubs if you would like to have a large supply of similar items to nominate for deletion. I am not convinced that this type of thing should be in Wikipedia, but I'm not prepared to support deleting single articles on the basis of the class of things being unsuitable unless the entire class is up for deletion.
