Uncited for 15 years. While sources confirm this sketch exists, I can't find anything showing this specific sketch, out of tons and tons in Monty Python's prolific career, has individual notability. Possibly redirect to the list of episodes? Not sure, though, since it's a sketch not an episode.

Previously survived an AfD, but this was was a mass AfD of many sketches, several of which were notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I can find a number of sources specifically discussing this sketch. It's discussed in this book on Monty Python in great detail, talking about how the sketch was based on the gangsters known as the Kray twins. Death of a Pirate and Bloody London: Shocking Tales from London's Gruesome Past also discuss the sketch as commentary on the Kray twins' career. It's also used in Juvenal and the Satiric Emotions as an example of satiric rhetoric. There are a lot more of these if you look on Google Books. Toughpigs (talk) 17:06, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, there's a lot of short mentions, but I don't think any of the examples you gave constitute significant coverage, except the first one which seems to be fine. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it is a notable sketch as evidenced by the amount of sources that reference it. I'm still working on the article. Isaidnoway (talk) 18:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - expansion completed and article is now sourced. Isaidnoway (talk) 11:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah my concerns are addressed. Seems fine to keep now. Withdraw. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:22, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
