WP:UNR WP:LISTCRUFT of all guests appearing on Saturday Night Live. Program has been on for 43 years and there are many notable incidents involving guests. However, listing all guests across six articles is excessive, the list is unreferenced and is WP:IINFO. AldezD (talk) 12:00, 13 July 2018 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages for same reasons above. Only linked source is to single fansite that does not meet WP:V:[reply]

Comment—There's no debate that—although the only source for content in these six articles is a deadlink fansite that does not meet WP:V—many entertainers have hosted episodes of SNL. But there are no sources about the topic of SNL hosts treated as a whole, and listing hosts of the program across six articles is WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:IINFO.

Keep Unlike most of these 'list of guests on show' that are cited to 'guywithtoomuchtimeonhishands.wikia.org'...this is solid. Everything is easily confirmable even outside the 'fansite' which I don't think reads as one (it's simply a tabbed list with zero 'fansite' tone to be found). And the six articles are needed due to the breadth of who has appeared on the series. Nate • (chatter) 13:36, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTIINFO, also note not one of each of these split list articles have any kind of sources. Ajf773 (talk) 00:21, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Nate. I see no compelling reason to delete these articles. Lepricavark (talk) 04:14, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are single sources on some of those lists, but not sure if they are sufficient enough. Ajf773 (talk) 23:56, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all these articles have no sources, they fail verifiability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:56, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - An extremely notable and iconic show and a comprehensive list of its hosts is encyclopedic. An article only "fails" WP:V if the topic as a whole is unverifiable, not currently without citation marks after every word. Needless to say, a list of all the hosts of SNL is easily verifiable. --Oakshade (talk) 06:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
keep - obvious notability Tiptopper (talk)
