The topic of debate was: "Does Henry Street warrant an entry on Wikipedia?". After an initial split decision, a "silver tongue" overtime period (akin to the "Silver Goal" format of overtime in international and Olympic soccer)was held. This final round was awarded to the PRO-entry team due to technical foul from the CON team, following one member's ejection for use of expletives.
