Bells (Blackadder)

This is a non-notable episode that fails WP:N by not having real world information as described in WP:EPISODE and WP:WAF. TTN (talk) 18:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep now has a "real world" ref (I actually have that tape somewhere too). If that's not enough, then just redirect it to List of Blackadder episodes. Lugnuts (talk) 09:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Lugnuts; if it fails Wikipedia:Television episodes it should be merged not deleted. Tim! (talk) 10:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It seems extraordinary that a TV episode's notability hinges on being given away free with packs of tea.--Nydas^(Talk) 12:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know it sounds far fetched (but true), but I did go and find a real world reference to it, source it and add it to the article. Unless you can do something better to improve the article? No, I guess it's easier to criticise. Worst case is that it gets redirected. Lugnuts (talk) 12:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not criticising you, I'm criticising our fiction guidelines.--Nydas^(Talk) 12:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, oh yeah, I've got that somewhere as well. It's the one where Baldrick introduces the tape and asks if he should redo it "with a little more sexual charisma". I'd say that this is quite a famous episode of the series. Bob talk 15:25, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notable episode of very popular and well known sitcom. I'm sure more real world information can be found.--UpDown (talk) 08:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It is unbeliveable that some on nominate only one episode of Blackadder for delete but no other episode of the show/series and Blackadder has many spoof point at history so I would keep for that matter to. The Tramp 00:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Probably because the nominator is a jobsworth and is clutching at straws. Lugnuts (talk) 11:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added a real world ref from the Official Hansard of the Australian House of Representatives. RMHED (talk) 01:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
