Knork

This article is half advertisement and half about a non-notable gag on Clone High. TomTheHand 19:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Maybe it started on Clone High (and maybe not), but it's also an actual utensil widely available in the real world too. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: According to this site, the Knork has existed since 1978 and is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Notable enough. Vote changed to full Keep. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Interesting. However, the article does not mention these notable, widely available knorks, and currently only mentions Clone High and advertises for knork.net. Previous versions of the page have links to knork.net, but they were removed some time ago. The knork described in the article is clearly the one sold at knork.net. The "knork" from the Museum of Modern Art is not advertised as such by its current manufacturer, Etac; they call it a knife/fork. As seen here the original manufacturer of the device merged with Etac in 1999. TomTheHand 19:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article now focuses only on Clone High, but it could be much more. The concept of a knork has been proposed by a lot of people, most of them different, both humorous and serious. This google search is indicative of that. Could be a decent article. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 20:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I've looked through the first four pages of that Google search, and found 32 links about Knork.net's product, four links completely unrelated to knife/fork combinations, four silly personal links, two links to the MoMA object, and one link each to Wikipedia, About.com, and Urban Dictionary. I'm not seeing "so much more." TomTheHand 21:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
