The Continental
This was originally tagged for speedy deletion (unremarkable subject) by. However, given that there's no introduction, and a search for "The Continental" turns up over 3 million results, it's very difficult to make any quick judgement about the notability (or lack thereof) of this subject. The third quote mentions camera action, and suggests a film or television show; two Wikipedia pages match this, a 1950s television show and a recurring parody of said show on Saturday Night Live. A search on the quote turns up nothing helpful. Two of the three only show up on this Wikiquote page, while the other ("The view from here...") is only listed in two distinct places, both of which quote it, but don't provide any source. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If a proper version of these quotes can be found, move to Saturday Night Live per InvisibleSun. If not (and I don't know that a third-party site keeping transcripts qualifies as a reliable source), then delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete . I suspect this page's quotes are from the SNL skit, but even so, it shouldn't survive as a page. If any quotes are deemed memorable, perhaps they can be moved to the SNL page. ~ UDScott 15:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Move, to SNL, per InvisibleSun. ~ UDScott 13:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Move. These quotes can be traced to SNL transcripts for The Continental by means of links provided on the WP page. The first two quotes are from October 24, 1992 and the third from April 8, 2000.  The wording of the quotes is not the same as in these transcripts and should be corrected if the quotes are going to be placed on the Saturday Night Live page. - InvisibleSun 18:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to SNL page, with correct attributions. --Ubiquity 21:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
