Delete. Standard issue non-notable neologism. Hairhorn (talk) 20:27, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, how many TV shows must an article be sourced to before it's allowed to stay? Does the Wiki community always hate on new contributions? --Chris.kuebler (talk) 21:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How many TV shows? Er.... more than one? Try Googling for "AIS time" and get back to me. Hairhorn (talk) 23:14, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the term has uses other than the TV reference used in the article: Its a term used for writers when "Ass in seat" time is important to actually producing [1]. "Ass in seat" is also used as a term for headcounts at entertainment venues [2][3]. The term seems to have wider use than expected from the context of the article [4].

Then there's still the issue of the article is a definition. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 23:53, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an unsourced neologism. Furthermore the page currently consists of a definition and a de-facto "In popular culture" section (the description of the television episode), neither of which is appropriate as the sole content of an article. (I suppose one could argue that the combination of the two is sufficient; I disagree.) Note, too, that the references suggested by MichaelQSchmidt are uses of the term ass-in-seat, not uses or descriptions of AIS time. Cnilep (talk) 13:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
