Enough references?
Usually, we require references in three toons for a page like this. Thoughts? Possibility of a third that I and the person who made the page both overlooked? --Jay (Gobble) 19:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- There's a reference in the commentary for modeling. cash money tc 19:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- I don't really see a reference to Rankin/Bass in the commentary of modeling.. all I really see is a reference to the song "Winter Wonderland", despite what the Fun Fact says. In this case, though, the two references might be interesting enough. Leaning toward keep.

- The reference in modeling is when Matt says Parson is a clergyman, and Mike says "I would assume so. He married Frosty". It's a reference to Frosty's Winter Wonderland where the children try to get a preacher named Parson Brown to marry Frosty and his snow wife. Jennifer 03:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, and I vote for keep as well, since there's three references now and one of the main characters actually dressed up as one of the Rankin/Bass characters. Jennifer 03:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I think the issue of whether DVD commentary counts really needs to be addressed at some point; it feels really silly when we have a page with three DVD commentary references and a T-shirt. As for someone dressing as a Rankin/Bass character, that alone does not count as criteria for including a page, lest we make one for everything that someone has worn costumes for (and with eleven to twelve characters per year and eleven Halloween toons (counting Which Ween Costumes?), that's quite a few!) --Jay (Gobble) 05:00, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I think all that stuff they say about the special in "Happy Dethemberween" sounds like stretches.
