Revision as of 20:33, 23 June 2009

It has been suggested that the content of the page this talk page accompanies should not be a separate article on the wiki.

  • Please discuss below whether the content of the page should have its own article. Remember to consider ways the content could be brought up to the wiki's standards before making this determination.

If it is decided that the content should not have its own article, then the following additional issues need to be addressed:

  • Whether to merge the content with another page or remove it entirely.
  • Whether to redirect the leftover page or delete it outright.
 

Deletion

It's a spoon thing. Nothing really notable. That, and I'm sure this page will make at least one person angry. Deleted! --Jellote wuz here 19:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I lean the same way (that is, delete). Maybe, maybe, if a loud booming voice (other than the Arrow'd Guy) descended from the 'bove, but that doesn't seem to be the sort of humor H*R goes for. --Jay (Gobble) 19:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Since the ActRaiser ref is a real stretch, and besides that, the other two a common phrases, there's not enough to to make this page. Delete it. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 19:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't think it's a spoon thing, and I don't think it necessarily matters if at least one person is angered by the presence of this article. However, E.L. Cool expressed my sentiments exactly. Delete. OptimisticFool 00:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Somehow, I don't think it's a good idea to have an article like this on a fan-run wiki which anyone can edit anonymously. The Internet is a safe haven for jerks and morons who can be as stupid and offensive as they like, knowing full well that they won't get into serious trouble for behaving like a complete and utter crap for brains. These are the types of articles which are targeted first by these idiots and will just encourage additional trolling. Sure, we can revert those edits easily, but do we really want to tempt them into creating these edits in the first place?
Even if the above isn't an issue, this article still doesn't work out. Most of these so-called references were made unintentionally by TBC. "Thank God" is a common phrase used by religious and non-religious people alike and ActRaiser is a stretch because you play as a god, not God Almighty himself. If God actually was a proper character that appeared on the site, like in other cartoons, then of course we'd create an article for him. But since he does not, let us delete. – The Chort 18:30, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I agree exactly with what Coolio and Opti said. delete Loafing 20:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
And also, we should not avoid creating articles that might be prone to vandalism. Reverting is cheap and usually happens quickly, and vandals really aren't a problem for us. Self-censorship because of fear of vandalism would seriously lower the quality of the wiki for no good reason. We wouldn't have entertaining and useful pages like these: Peeing, Wetting the Bed, Cross-dressing, Gender Confusion. Loafing 20:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Thou shalt not create articles with naught references. delete. free 20:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I would say move to Religion, but we already have "Death" or whatever. Religion would have a reference to religious stuff, like the paper going "into the light." ColdReactive 20:30, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
