The content is not likely to be found under this name. According to this article, it is one of the thousands of rooms in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. That makes it not notable, even if it is the most important room. The subject of this article is best handled in Willy Wonka or existing related articles.

  • Merge with the article on the 2005 film starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore which it appears to be about. Get rid of the versions red links. It's not useful because it doesn't detail what versions it's referring too and basically it's info to be put in articles on the film or book, not on the room. - Mgm|(talk) 12:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Based on precident of other fictional entities from other famous works. If it applied to just one film, a merge would be appropriate. But it applies to two movies, and a book. The article should be renamed though, to something less generic. Also, I don't understand the nominators logic. If something is the most important of thousands, that makes it *more* notable, not less. Vulcan (Star Trek) is one of many planets in Star Trek, but it's deemed more important. --rob 23:25, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I personally think the Great Glass Elevator is more notable than the chocolate room, because the sequel uses the Elevator profusely and even has it as the title. Regarding this room, it's one of my favorites, and so it's the one I remember, but I think another person could just as easily argue that the nut room, say, made a much bigger impression on him/her. And then where does it all end? Therefore... move and condense this information to List of rooms in Charlie's Chocolate Factory (or perhaps a better title than that, but you get the idea. The point is that a few lines on each will do. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for make this point so well. Indeed, the specter of pages for tens of rooms, if not the thousand alluded to in my nomination, was one of the motivations for my nomination. I would be happy with Jacquelyn Marie's solution and it seems to be in keeping with most of the discussion so far. --Walter Siegmund 18:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
