Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia on The Colbert Report
This information is useful if you're researching this TV show for some reason, but otherwise it's just rehashing of the aired material. There were a large number of articles before on Colbert Report joke words, as well as one big summary article compendium of Colbert jokes. Although there's nothing particularly harmful about having factual, easily verifiable info on WP, this kind of regurgitation or "fan-nonfiction" pretty clearly falls into . Not to mention the obvious conflict of interest and . This article has had time to mature, and it's ended up as just masturbation. When someone besides Colbert writes a book about the relationship between Colbert and Wikipedia, then we can have this article. But that book would probably rather focus on the way that pure vanity, which is what defines Colbert's comic character, tends to draw fawning admiration from those with inferiority complexes and/or too much time on their hands
