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.
 

This, that, and a whole lot of other stuff

I realize a lot of work has been put into this page, but it seems to me that every single reference listed here is either speculation or TTATOT, and thus it would be a real stretch to say that they were specifically referencing Hanna-Barbera, intentionally or otherwise. I think every entry in the article as it stands now should be removed, and if no legitimate examples can be found, the article itself should be deleted. — It's dot com 03:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

It may be TTATOT now, but most of the things were created by Hanna-Barbera, and it's clear on some of the facts that it is intended to be a reference, mainly Scooby-Doo and the Bands of the 70's having cartoons. I say keep --~ SlipStream 03:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Someone will also need to go through these articles and check the references. Loafing 03:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Exactly, if this article is deleted because of TTATOT, those Real World References will need to be deleted too.--~ SlipStream 03:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'll give you Scooby-Doo. That one's clear. As for the rest, I challenge all of them as legitimate references. They should all be removed from the various articles. As for this page, even Scooby-Doo is just a reference to one cartoon, not Hanna-Barbera itself. — It's dot com 04:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
I looked at all those "references" now, and while some do sound plausible (the repeating background, for example), they all sound like a stretch and aren't clear enough references. Some are outright stretches. I agree with Dot com: they should all be deleted from the respective articles except for the Scooby Doo ref. And This article should be deleted. Loafing 04:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Speaking of the repeating background, we do have a tradition of explaining the ultimate origin of some things (like Jeeves), so I don't have as big a problem with that one in the little animal article (although it should be reworded). For the purposes of this article, however, it's not an outright reference to Hanna-Barbera, and thus doesn't really count. — It's dot com 04:14, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Move all legitimate and unspeculative references to appropriate toon article RWR sections and delete. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 15:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I'd say everything except the highschool reference to Scooby Doo can be considered TTATOT (go links!). Bluebry 16:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Even if the Scooby-Doo reference is pretty certain, it is not enough for an entire page so I say delete the whole page and add the Scooby-Doo bit to a different page like a TV references page or something. --Acam30 18:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure it's in the highschool Fun Facts section... Bluebry 19:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Well then shouldn't we just delete the whole page without merging anything? --Acam30 23:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
I disagree, this looks like a valid page. keep — Defender1031*Talk 23:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
