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.

Our standards for inclusion say that for something to be a running joke, it needs to be used in an unusual manner at least three times. Pretty much every use of the word "eternity" is perfectly normal, with the possible exception of Homestar not really understanding how eternity works in jibblies. Therefore, I would argue that this page does not meet our inclusion guidelines and should therefore be a-diggity-deleted. — Defender1031*Talk 05:42, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Normal use for the word eternity is debatable. Since it's an unmeasurable amount of time, you could argue that its uses in 3THFj and SBtF are abnormal hyperbolizations and/or sarcasm. However, I can agree that it's far too lacking in references to warrant a page. -Catjaz63 06:08, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
