I just cleared out a bunch of examples that did not fit the page's description - not a single one was for a long overdescriptive name! The most arguable one would be [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in his Craw]]/"Strong Sad Wets Yonder Bed" - both are actual names, unlike everything else I removed, but the latter isn't all that long and neither is particularly overdescriptive. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC) | I just cleared out a bunch of examples that did not fit the page's description - not a single one was for a long overdescriptive name!

Good Prize
So before anyone goes tbd'ing this because of its appearance and current lack of content, let me just say that i think this will make a fine page. I don't remember specific instances, but i know there are plenty of times where this is true, and it makes a great sibling to the Nondescript Nouns page. good prize! ding! — Defender1031*Talk 19:53, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. I could've sworn there was a page like this before, but was wondering why it's gone now. StarFox 19:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Overlap between Overdescriptive nouns and Nondescript nouns?
Is that even possible? Because "As Seen on TV Low-Fat Cooking Device" is also a non-descript noun, considering it is just as descriptive as "That Paintball Place Down the Street", except the latter is one word shorter. --
