Talk:What Is... Cliff Clavin?

message: Wasn't Jeopardy! actually taping in Boston, thereby creating the device where Cliff gets to compete and afterwards having Trebek visit Cheers to console Cliff?  It's been quite a while since I've seen this episode, but I don't think they flew out to Los Angeles.  (Norm was at the taping, IIRC.) Spicy 20:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: shouldn't this page be titled "What is... Cliff Clavin?" ? the (cheers) suffix seems unnecessary, because there's no other page with the name. The Kids Aren't Alright 20:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would tend to agree, but given the recent decision to move The West Wing presidential election, 2006 despite there being no actual presidential election then... *shrug*. I put it there to be safe, but I have no serious opinion either way. Staxringold 23:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I contend the ref is correct, as it's the exact title of the song. Please leave it.
It's not vandalism, as both "Weird Al" and Cliff Clavin lost on Jeopardy. This is turning into a revert war, and since you've reverted three times today, please stop. Alan 02:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

text: For what it's worth, I don't see the point of the ref either. This article isn't related to the Weird Al song. Perhaps the weird Al song can refer to here, but that's not relevant to this article. -Phoenixrod 02:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This article was summarily deleted by TTN at 23:42, 4 October 2007, with no explanation given and no VFD discussion that I can find.
Someone attempted to restore it the next day and TTN removed it once again, this time writing: "Supply real world information before trying to bring it back."
This page does not qualify for speedy deletion under Wikipedia's deletion guidelines as far as I can tell. To wit: "There is no consensus to speedily delete articles of types not specifically listed in A7 under that criterion." (A7: "An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not state why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of notability, verifiability and reliability of sources. If controversial, list the article at Articles for deletion instead.")
Needs to be discussed before deletion.

message: This is removed from article for possibly violation "no original research rule": 
I have checked the references; I found no mention of Cheers or Cliff Clavin in one source. --George Ho (talk) 00:10, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed entry #2 

message: This is likely a reference to the contemporary film The Terminator, in which the Terminator tracks its victims alphabetically through the phone book. This entry is unreferenced and must not be added back until one source is found. --George Ho (talk) 21:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed entry #3 

message: This article already links to Jeopardy! which covers gameplay in detail. The preface section describing the game seems redundant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.239.86.46 (talk) 21:21, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
