Italian Lesson

I don't think that this article is notable, or that the sketch is any more remarkable than the hundreds of others. PROD removed without rationale. ╟─Treasury Tag►contribs─╢ 11:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have added another citation to the article to demonstrate notability. The idea that Monty Python sketches are not notable is laughable. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep as it meets many of the criteria of notability for films and such. It definitely meets criteria 1 ("the film is widely distributed and has received full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics.") and most of criteria 2 (Publication of at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release./ The film was deemed notable by a broad survey of film critics, academics, or movie professionals, when such a poll was conducted at least five years after the film's release). In addition, while not stated on the article, this sketch has been awarded, thus meeting criteria 3 as well. :D Cheers. I'^mperator 12:57, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I would accept it if all the Monty Python sketches were organised into several articles like Monty Python Sketches or something. Cheers. I'^mperator 13:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I fear I'm going to be repeating myself today. This article does not assert the notability of the subject, does not have external reliable and unbiased sources, and doesn't pass our fiction guidelines for inclusion. Delete or merge in with an episode guide. JRP (talk) 18:17, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I feel that there is no notability for this article possible merge..maybe Staffwaterboy ^{Critique Me} ^Guestbook ^{Hate Comments} 19:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, yet another non-notable Monty Python sketch. Not sufficient for a general-purpose encyclopedia. - Chardish (talk) 20:16, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Yes, our encyclopedia is "general-purpose," but it is not made of paper; it can be as broad or as specific as possible, so I don't think this is an argument against keeping this article. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 23:42, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - "General purpose" means that we cover topics of general interest rather than cataloging minutiae. We can write about as many topics of general interest as we want; there's a reason we don't have an articles on, for example, Sizes and weights of shipping containers used by Amazon.com. Just because information may be useful to someone doesn't mean it's significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry. - Chardish (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am in agreement with JRP. Pastor Theo (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm a Monty Python fan myself, but articles on individual sketches, except for cases where there's some demonstrable significance - Dead Parrot - is just overkill. I would hardly call a couple of fansites "full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics." Mr.Z-man 17:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no independent notability. Eusebeus (talk) 21:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
