Gage Whitney Pace[edit]

This is a completely non-notable fictional law firm that is mentioned in exactly 2 episodes of The West Wing and maybe once or twice on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The content currently in the article is all that can possibly be said about this fictional firm. It is fancruft and trivia. (I'm not sure if it could have been speedied under CSD-A7, so I AfD'd instead.) Hnsampat 21:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I am a fan of West Wing; however, this article is decidedly unnecessary. Fancruft, as the nominator asserted. — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 22:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I, too, am a fan of The West Wing. --Hnsampat 23:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - completely non-notable, and probably trivia to boot. -Haemo 23:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge why not merge with west wing and redirect?--The Joke النكتة‎ 06:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Because this is a tidbit of information that is completely trivial and really has no place anywhere. --Hnsampat 11:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On West Wing, if memorey serves me right, there is an episode that is totally devoted to Gage Whitney Pacy (the one when they went and ran the oil ship aground). Then there is the episode when Josh got Sam out of Gage Whitney, and there were other references as well. On Studio 60, there have been more than just 2 references. However, the main point of this is to note that Sorkin has crossed over the names between the two shows, as it is not something that is just oriented to one TV show... --Alebowgm 03:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- In both of those West Wing episodes, very little is said about the law firm itself, except that it's the 2nd biggest law firm in NYC. There isn't enough information there to merit having a whole article. Also, the fact that Sorkin crossed over the names between the two shows is trivial. Writers cross stuff between their works all the time. In fact, Sorkin wrote the screenplay for The American President, where an environmental lobby firm called the Global Defense Council plays a prominent role. That lobby firm is also named in one episode of The West Wing. However, I shouldn't then go and write an article called Global Defense Council, because there's nothing to be said about it. Same holds true for Gage Whitney Pace. Tell me, can you add anything to what's already there in the article? I sure can't. Something that we can't write more than one paragraph about doesn't merit its own article. It is trivia i.e. something that is "interesting without being notable." Gage Whitney Pace utterly fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines and therefore does not merit its own article. --Hnsampat 04:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
