from VfD: You guys remember the Simpsons episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet"? So does this guy. The Be Sharps were the focus of that episode alone, and this is quite unnecessary. We don't need an article on every episode, and this isn't even that, just the subject of an episode. Not notable, not encyclopedic, delete. - Vague Rant 05:03, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Please, no more. Delete. Wyllium 05:08, 2004 Nov 13 (UTC)
- Well, it really is about the episode...
- Delete. (As if you expected any other vote from me on stuff like this.) Ian Pugh 05:23, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Merge to correpsonding episode article, I can't condone deleting valid encyclopedic content just because it only existed in one epsisode. —siroχo 09:08, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

- Delete: It was funny. I laughed. I would never go to an encyclopedia to find out about it. (Besides, The Rutles are the best Beatles parody, ever.) Geogre 15:32, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Speaking as member #254397 of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, and in my official capacity as president of Chapter K-083, the Baystatesmen Barbershop Chorus, I say: Delete, not notable. Great episode, though.[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 15:39, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC) P. S. The quartet work was performed by the Dapper Dans of Disney World: Mike Economou, tenor; Shelby Grimm, lead; Dan Jordan, bari; Jim Campbell, bass. It aired on September 30, 1993 and was episode 9F21, see [1] and [2]. The latter gives the name as "Be sharps," B-E two letters, but most other references seem to give it as "B sharps," B, one letter.
- Can we have List of fictional music groups and indeed the category Fictional music groups without inviting such an article? (And Party Posse, also currently vfded.) Merge and redirect to save the connection from that sort of source to the most relevant surviving page in the Simpsons universe, likely the episode page as Violet suggests. Though perhaps an article on music of the Simpsons is suggested? Samaritan 16:48, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, cruft. GRider 19:20, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Let's face it, the Be Sharps aren't particularly notable as fictional bands go; if we let this one go, we'll need an article for every single band on the List of fictional music groups. --HBK 06:17, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. If these articles aren't fancruft, the word has no meaning. Gazpacho 12:55, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Keep and move into an episode. Cool Hand Luke 07:35, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- DELETE. —ExplorerCDT 02:07, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Keep or merge into an article on the episode in question when that article is created. - SimonP 05:23, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
