Talk:Allegedly Real Things

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Deletion?

Could someone explain where the scope of this page is in any way different from the scope of Blatant Lies? It just doesn't seem like there are two running gags happening here. Flashfight 02:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It's more specific than "Blatant lies". --Jay (Gobble) 02:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Right, but Ryan S. is more specific than Mount Ridesplace Mascots, yet doesn't warrant its own page on the wiki. Flashfight 03:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Sheesh, can he develop the page a little before you slap a tbd on it? — It's dot com 03:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I disagree that we can't talk in the abstract about the benefits of having a discussion on the scope. I mean, I would much rather allow this discussion to happen before someone invests their time into developing this and finding every instance of it. I actually find absolutely no issue in an abstract discussion, and frankly would prefer discussing the Merits of a page instead of the Content of a page. Content can always be expanded on, but there Merits of this scope exist the same today as they would a year from now. The merits won't change over time. Flashfight 03:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Without all the content, the merits of the topic are generally not clear. At any rate, it's common courtesy not to just tag articles by established users without giving them a chance to make a case for their article. Heimstern Läufer 03:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

This seems like a running gag to me... I was noticing a trend of this sort of thing, myself. Incidentally, how about the fake "error messages" that say "This is real" on them? (I think in 50 emails, The System is Down, and "Not the 100th E-mail!!" (can't remember the exact name, so I didn't put a link), but I could be mistaken...) -YK
