Revision as of 04:25, 17 June 2006

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.
 

Use?

While I know Homestrong probably put a lot of effort into this page, I don't see the use of it. All of the information can be found in the transcript of modeling. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 20:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Any useful information is elsewhere. This is a throwaway gag, seen for a fleeting moment, never to appear again. small_logo.pngUsername-talk 20:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry, I never take offense at stuff like this. I would reccomend, of course, keeping the article (I think that every "throwaway gag" such as this that ever happened on the site that has sufficient information should have its own article), but failing that, we could merge this article, Homely Boy Brand Huge Tube Socks, and Doctor Stankfoot's Watery Athlete's Foot Cream (all pages I've made) into one article about things Strong Bad imagines during modeling, though I'm not sure how one would title that page. --The_homestrongzipansadcheatsmith2.PNG Tlk/Cnt 21:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, at least it provided the diverting spectacle of the HRWiki's Longest Article Title Ever!

I thought every throwaway gag got its own page. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 01:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
