O.K, why did someone nominate this article for deletion? Sam the Man
- I don't see a running gag here. The TROGDOR! instance was a direct reference to trevor the vampire, but the your funeral instance seems wholly unrelated. In other words, I think TBC are just using English words the way they're meant to be used. — It's dot com 23:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Don't delete my sentence DOT COM! And by the way, if it's not a running gag, then what is it? Sam the Man
- Your comments were removed in an edit conflict. When I noticed that they had no purpose on the page, and shouldn't have been posted, I chose not to resolve the conflict. I'm saying this page is not a running gag and therefore should not have its own page. — It's dot com 23:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah, it depends on that third appearance. The first two are definitely connected, but I'm not so sure the third one is. Since three is the magic number for a running gag getting its own page, we'd have to get consensus that the your funeral appearance is a play off of trevor the vampire.

your funeral refers to trevor the vampire. As the "pine for me" seems to me to be a reference of sorts (if not directly, then directly to the sane source), keep. - Qermaq - (T/C) 00:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- The first two appearances were both exactly "I pine for you!". The third was "...all the heartbroken private school girls that will pine-uh for me-uh." It's so different that it doesn't seem to be a running gag. Third sighting? Methinks not. However, I reluctantly agree that the page conforms with general wiki standards (The third is a reference of "pine for you/me", even if it ISN'T related to the other two. Hard to understand, I know.) However, my gut points me to delete. Bluebry 01:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- If think this is a good page and I vote to keep. Sure the phrase is said a bit differently in the third appearance, but it's still someone pining for someone else. They could have chosen a whole bunch of other phrases, but I believe TBC knew they were referring to vampire/TROGDOR! when they added it to the toon. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 09:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Additionally, throwing out the idea to rename to Pining. - Qermaq - (T/C) 13:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Good idea. I'll do it right now! Sam the Man
- While I'm all for renaming to "Pining", you really should wait for the people to give their opinions on it before a move. --TotalSpaceshipGirl3 15:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
