Miskel Spillman[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Only one claim to fame, did nothing else except host one episode. Every source I've found focuses only on the SNL hosting, nothing else. 2007 discussion was no consensus, 2010 discussion was filled with WP:ILIKEIT, WP:ITSNOTABLE, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and other invalid rationales.

Keep The existence of pages for all other SNL hosts is not what WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is intended to mean -- as noted in the page itself, it's 'every Grey's Anatomy character having a page doesn't mean every Office character should', which is a slightly different issue. At any rate, I would agree with the arguments proposed in other AfDs that Spillman is a significant part of the SNL mythos and therefore notable. The strongest I would endorse is a rename to theoretically focus the article more on the episode than on Ms Spillman, but I think WP:BIO1E would categorize Spillman as a notable-for-one-event individual who rightfully received an article.

Keep I've massively reduced the article size. It would be strange to have a gap in the infobox here. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:00, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Power~enwiki: WP:LOSE is not a valid argument, try again. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:07, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I just read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, something that very few editors who bandy its title about seem to do, and found that it contains the words

In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items. For example, there have been AfD discussions for articles on individual area codes listed in the List of North American Numbering Plan area codes. Currently all links to area codes in use are blue links, which serves the purpose of Wikipedia being a comprehensive reference.

The category of items here is SNL hosts, and the vast majority are notable, so in the interest of Wikipedia being a comprehensive reference we should cover them all as long as they are verifiable. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:38, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
