Password
Another "fill in the blanks" game show page (perhaps it's time for Wikiquote:Mad Libs?), though this one adds some of the show's clues (a single word with no context or meaning). —LrdChaos (talk) 17:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. We may have a rival for the inane wrestler pages...game show pages. ~ UDScott 17:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll probably regret it, but Keep. Although I personally can't see myself getting much from such a page, Password was such a legendary show that I think we must accept notability. Having accepted that, we seem to have allowed catch-phrases and other less-than-scintillating quotes in cases where it was believed that the quotes would "resonate" with the fan of a well-known show, or video, or celebrity. I don't think the page under discussion is any worse than some of the others that have been allowed to live. --Ubiquity
 * Delete I respect Ubiquity's argument, but each case needs considering on its own merits; keeping other duff pages is not a good reason to keep this one.--Cato 21:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I know others may disagree, but I do not see it as the mission of the project to include these type of quotes. They are not pithy remarks, rather, they are a catalog of canned comments. I've been giving this issue a great deal of thought and will write more later when I have time. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 13:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I certainly don't disagree with FloNight.--Poetlister 10:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete while some game shows do have memorable quotes (e.g. Family Feud's "September" and "alligator", and Jeopardy's "what's a hoe?" and "Kebert Xela"), there are no such quotes on this page. Will {{sup|{talk)}} 18:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
