A Bugs Bunny short. Not notable enough for a separate article. -- Scott eiπ + 1 = 0 21:12, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep If I had my way, every film ever made and released would get an article. Of course, I know that not everyone agrees with me on this. Still, this is more notable than the average film anyway. It stars Mel Blanc, it was directed by Friz Freleng, and is well-known as an example of censorship (a "blackface" ending is often cut out). Needs expanding though.

- Strong Keep. A few minutes research with Google shows this is a true classic, and verifies Starblind's comment about the racism tie-in (which, while regretable, does add to the historic interest). There is no doubt that, as it stands, it's a disaster of an article, but the subject is important, so it's got potential. I put a stub template on it, and I'm tempted to do the research and re-write it myself. --RoySmith 23:31, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I would've gone for a merge, but Bugs Bunny is already too long as it stands, so keep and expand. Mgm|(talk) 00:02, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep & expand. ~ mlk ✉♬ 01:06, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC) ~
- Keep. Valid article about a cartoon. RickK 01:07, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, it's Bugs Bunny :) Wyss 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep (adopts Elmer Fudd voice) I'm going to keep the wabbit.Capitalistroadster 03:22, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I expanded it, so it's no longer a stub. It's notable for being one of four shorts with the more rotund Elmer Fudd design, it's one of Friz Freleng's better early Bugs shorts, and, as someone mentioned, the issue with the blackface ending. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking "okay...that's not right." But, for some reason, I found it even less right when Turner sliced the ending off of this, and also Tortoise Wins By a Hare. --b. Touch 10:13, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Keep and allow for organic growth. GRider\talk 20:17, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep brilliant new short article about an important animated short. Don't kill da wabbit!! This is one of my favorite Bugs Bunny shorts of all time and it still steams my fleckmans when I see the ending sliced off of it. - Lucky 6.9 01:13, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Duh, keep. —RaD Man (talk) 19:46, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
