Saturday Night Live Samurai

This character does not establish notability independent of SNL. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 14:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into one of t he Saturday Night Live character lists, or else to Belushi. But this is not the way to do it--individual characters selected on no particular system. Some of the characters there have separate articles, some are redirected to the actor performing them, and I cannot perceive any particular pattern. Some rational basis should be found for this besides the accident of sourcing. DGG (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Samurai character actually did appear in Marvel Comics: [1], [2]. There are also brief discussions of the samurai in various other books, like [3] and [4]. There's no need to delete this entirely. Either keep it or merge it. Zagalejo^^^ 19:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Zagalejo's links, because of the arbitrary uselessness (organization-wise) of redirecting skits willy-nilly, and because this could almost certainly very easily be sourced by someone who likes SNL (not me, for sure), and has purchased one of the myriad books on the subject that came out in the last five or six years.
