Get ahht
I don't see the need for a page for a single line. The only way I could see this surviving is if an article was created for the TV show (Warning: May Contain Nuts), and this page redirected to it. ~ UDScott 13:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (4 Deletes; 1 serious Keep, 1 Keep from apparent prankster; no notability evidence provided). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:33, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 13:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think the quote is noteworthy/memorable enough (certainly, to me, as someone who's never seen the show, I can't understand why someone would find it noteworthy/memorable) and certainly isn't enough to start a page for the whole show. &mdash;LrdChaos 13:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article, created by new WQ editor Gary Kirk, looks like a hoax article. Neither Wikipedia nor IMDb have anything to say about either the show or this supposed "British actor IMcG", nor is there any indication of such a person working on Titanic II. Google, besides pointing to a book titled Warning!: May Contain Nuts! by British author Barry Gibbons, lists a ton of uses of the phrase without any mention of a TV show. There is a Wikipedia image of a supposed DVD of this spoof TV show, but it was uploaded by User:GaryKirk, who seems likely to be the same editor as our new user. The only use of this image is in a user subpage, w:User:Garykirk/Jamie Tuffield, which is an apparent tribute to a school-age actor. This completely unsourced tribute reads like a hoax itself, although it is quite detailed. (Then again, so was "Concrete Hippo".) I hold out the possibility that this is not a hoax, especially since Gary Kirk seems to have contributed a lot to WP without being tagged as a hoaxer, but at the very least, this is likely an unnotable show, so even a proper article of quotes from it wouldn't meet Wikiquote notability standards. NOTE: The fate of redirects Get ahht! and Get Ahht! are also tied to this article.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Nonsense. ~ Harry Tuttle 08:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. I have been privileged enough to produce the show which is the source of this quote, in fact, I wrote the aforementioned tribute to it. I must say that while it is a relatively unknown quote as of yet, it still has much value to the casual observer, and will undoubtedly be more well known in the near future. ~ Horatio Apple 13:19, 01 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikiquote's purpose is not to promote new creative works, but to quote from established ones whose notability provides us with a means to verify them. I can appreciate your desire to disseminate the work of an up-and-coming artist, but that's just not what we do here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even if only say, 300 people know of Get Ahht!, it is far more well known than some obscure, and frankly ridiculous articles such as Eddie's Stories ("How will we get out of here?" "The same way we will get out!" "Get Ahht!". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.112.229.153 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This user created the "Eddie's Stories" article (also under VfD consideration). This and his/her repeated vandalism suggests a lack of serious intent. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
