1162:- The ultimate goal is to merge all of them. The reason I've only done only two is to make sure there is support (or no opposition) before I waste all the time merging them over. If multiple go off without any issue, then the rest can be merged without trouble. In terms of the usefulness of the pages, what would you say that is included on the individual pages that makes them necessary?

All of these lists are very small and contain a lot of unnecessary information. These should be merged to this article in a table format, something like Name, Debut Date, Principal Actors, and
Description. Unless the sketch is notable enough to have its own article, there's no need for expanded lists
684:
There's been some controversy over whether impressions should be listed here. There's way too many impressions that have come out of
Saturday Night Live to list them all. Many characters straddle the line, however. Baba Wawa, I would consider to be a character rather than an impression, seeing as
1139:– Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but I think the seasons' "Recurring" articles are quite helpful (and fine as is). Since most seasons' "Recurring" pages for have enough content to justify the "Recurring" page being separate, it's jarring and awkward for a few seasons to be merged in the main page.
934:
I don't see how there'd be anything to merge; the two pages should have exactly the same information, as of right now. It did occur to me when posting this RM that people might question the need for multiple lists, and I don't personally have much of an argument for keeping the alphabetical page at
799:
Among the issues that would be resolved are a) there would be a logical place for information about every SNL recurring sketch, instead of randomly highlighting those that happen to be about animals, music, or TV parodies; and b) it would be tremendously helpful in cleaning up the vast number of

she has a different name. There are also a lot of TV show sketches (Prince Show, Joe Pesci Show, etc.) that have a certain formula to them that makes them unique, so I think they're warranted. But things like Gerald Ford, George Bush, Lina
Wertmuller, don't qualify in my opinion.
754:
In an effort to address the massive disarray and random formatting of
Knowledge (XXG)'s coverage of recurring SNL sketches, I've begun an effort to merge the various lists and pages into a single list of recurring sketches, split by their year of introduction (i.e., beginning with

There are a few sketches over the seasons involving "never before seen" screen tests of famous movies (Back to the Future, Star Wars, The Lion King, Top Gun). While these are different movies, they have the same idea. Would these be added to the recurring sketch list?
901:– As one of the main people who work on the recurring SNL sketch pages, I find the chronological list to be much more useful and more navigable, as well as better maintained, than the alphabetical list. I thus think the chronological list should be the "main" one.
1192:
Why doesn't Season 41 have its own page with the list of sketch appearances anymore? I remember there used to be one for Season 41 like the other seasons, what happened to that one? Also should there be the same thing for every season that doesn't have one yet?
88:
1170:. The only thing that cannot reliably be merged would be skit appearance lists, but those are ultimately unnecessary unless said skit has its own article. I think the table format makes more sense to give the core necessary information needed for a list.

of episodes for these minor sketches. I can't imagine all combined would be overly large, but they could be split by decade if the resulting page is overwhelming. Starting with just season one for now to make sure it's not a waste of time.

Since it doesn't seem like there's any objection to the move, could someone go ahead and make this happen? If anyone wants to propose that one or more of the lists be deleted, they can always do that at a later point.
60:. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the article for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use this talk page.

The "Bring it on down to ____ville" sketch -- I titled it "Mascots", for lack of a better idea, but I don't think that's very good. Maybe "Competing Street
Advertisers"? Just call it "Omeletteville"?

I would love to see the original muppet routines included here. I thought they were a riot. If I understand these categories correctly, I would place them under short lived recurring characters.

Some sketches don't seem to lend themselves to easy titles, for purposes of listing them. I was wondering if anyone might have thoughts or suggestions about better ways to refer to these:
