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.

Hey could someone mind changing the name of this article from Hey,X. I really like your X costume to "Hey, X, I Really Like Your X Costume". I messed up when I was writing the article and I don't know how to change it. Geonightman 19:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Delete?

I think that What are you supposed to be? handles this topic much more thoroughly. Any thoughts? StrongAwesome 22:03, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Well I actually made this a separate article because this one joke has been used over and over again as itself. I feel it should be considered a running gag.Geonightman 22:27, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
I have to agree with StrongAwesome. The line itself can be mentioned on the "What are you supposed to be" page, maybe even as a subsection, but it's basically the same joke. --Jay (Gobble) 23:56, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
I stand on saying that we should keep it a separate page, however if we do decide to merge this with "What are you supposed to be?" then I agree with you Jay in that it should at least be a subsection.--Geonightman 03:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Comment I always thought of "What are you supposed to be?" as when a character is confused about what other characters are dressed up as. Though if a merge is wanted, then "What are you supposed to be?" should be given a new title to cover the multiple costume running gags. --Ngamer01 17:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
I have to agree with the common opinion here. This is not a seperate joke from What are you supposed to be? at all. Also, I really don't like using algebraic variables in article titles. --Mario2.PNG Super Martyo boing! 20:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm neutral on what should happen here, but this is what a merge might look like. It seems like this version creates duplicate information, and i'm not sure if that's a problem/how to fix it if it is. Policy is escaping me right now, but i think that if the final decision is to merge, this should be a redirect to that page instead of a hard delete.

I'm for the merge linked in Ni's reply. ColdReactive 02:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
There are multiple ways we could merge these:
Possibility 1: Note in the description that Homestar tends to word his costume confusion as "Hey, X, I really like your X costume", and note those in the list.
Possibility 2: Remove any of Homestar's "Hey X" lines in the main list and put them only in the subsection; the header of the subsection should be very much reworded if we do that sort of merge, BTW.
Possibility 3: Deal with the duplicate info. (Still editing the header.)
Whatever the case, though, I'm still not sure this is separate enough to merit a separate page. (To Ngamer01, this line IS about when a character (namely, Homestar) is confused about what other characters are dressed up as. It's just a more specific form of that.) --Jay (Gobble) 10:05, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
