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.
 


Inclusion criteria

It seems to me that one crossover game which included the characters as a decision of the game's producers and not TBC and one disputed reference don't make enough material to include on this page. Further, even if it were enough, this ought to be formatted like the other running gag pages, rather than like it's its own entity within the H*R universe. — Defender1031*Talk 12:51, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I think this (along with Tycho and Max) is a special case, since the characters in Poker Night at the Inventory actually communicate with Strong Bad in the game. Strong Bad has lines directly referring to The Heavy (and to Tycho, and to Max), and is voiced by Matt Chapman when doing so. It's not like the background characters or images that Telltale added in, Matt Chapman knew that Strong Bad was going to be communicating with these characters when he agreed to having Strong Bad in the game. So, that fact alone should make the Poker Night references count. And I think since these are special cases, the character interaction sections should be kept too. Since they were in fact characters that directly interacted with Strong Bad. Jennifer 18:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
The question isn't whether the poker night reference is valid (though the ponk one is disputed), but the fact that it doesn't meet the minimum requirement for its own page. — Defender1031*Talk 01:07, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
I think the advertisements for Poker Night should count for that (The SBCG4AP advertisments have counted in articles), especially the Poker Night at the Inventory Trailer, since it has different animation and interactions between the characters (including Strong Bad and The Heavy) not seen in the full game. That would put it up to the minimum three references (four if you include the Teaser). Jennifer 10:23, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
