Talk:Wilbur

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I Don't Think We Need This Here...-Homsar7^{(Hom · Sar)}

Yeah. This is an unnecessary page if ever there was one. This guy has one appearance in an email that was never even on the site. I think this should be deleted.-LordQuackingstick 22:23, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so. The more that can be said about the DVDs that some people can't get, the better. --DorianGray

But you can get all the information you need about this guy from the article videro games. This page should be deleted, or at least merged with something.-LordQuackingstick 22:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

He's a legitimate character variation. --DorianGray

I usually think characters deserve their own page, unless they can be lumped in with characters who are like them (i.e., Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters, or possibly Marshie's "mother", who was merged in with Marshie). I don't see that we could really merge Wilbur into something else. Heimstern Läufer 22:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

He could be put in Other Character Variations. I think that's the best choice. He'll still be told about.-LordQuackingstick 22:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Wilbur isn't another vartaion on The Cheat. He's treated as a completely separate charater. Heimstern Läufer 22:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

It's says right at the bottom he's a character variation. -LordQuackingstick 22:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC) (PS, sorry I'm being a jerk about this, but the fact this page exists really annoys me)

I agree with Heimstern, Wilbur is a separate character that deserves its own bedroom page. Keep. And, this is kinda off-topic and in no way related to the agrument above, but, why are we voting on a page that's been around for about two years? Bluebry 22:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Well if it must st... if it must sta... If it must stay, i just want to say this: This present of tube socks page totally sucks and I hate it.-LordQuackingstick 22:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I actually think that we need to remove the character variation category from this page. He only shares one characteristic with The Cheat, and based on that argument I would be nothing more than a character variation of Walter Payton (or any other human). This page should exist. As for Bluebry's question: this conversation should happen anytime that someone has questions as to why we have a certain page, section, etc. For just like we can reconsider things previously deleted, we have to look at what we've created and consider if things are as they were when a page was created, or if there is a better way for something to be represented on the wiki. - ISTC 23:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

About Wilbur being a variation of The Cheat, Strong Bad said that Wilbur's name "sounds an awful lot like a little video game programming version of The Cheat". Anyway, if Wilbur gets his own page, then shoudn't that other guy get one too? --Trogga 23:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The other guy didn't have a name. --DorianGray

I'm on LordQuackingstick's side here. Just stick this dude in another page (preferably Videro Games or Other Character Variations) and be done with it. -Brightstar Shiner 23:12, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Finally, someone agrees with me. All these sysops were gangin' up on me!-LordQuackingstick 23:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this page should be deleted, for reasons already listed above. — It's dot com 23:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

We just want it merged, that's all. The edit summary I used was automatic, from one I used earlier in the day. Sorry. -Brightstar Shiner 23:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

...So what do you suggest merging it to? Bluebry 23:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Other Character Variations.-LordQuackingstick 23:27, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Wilbur is not a variation of The Cheat in the same way as the variations on that page. He's a separate character. There's nothing wrong with having a short character page for him, like the Fat Bluebird. — It's dot com 23:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT: Ah, I see. Thank you. I'm going to say no to that page because I'm still against Wilbur being identified as a variation... so... keep. Bluebry 23:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

• sigh* We deleted Marshie's Mother, Jumbo/LARGE, and many other very minor character/thing/saying pages. What makes this one special? -Brightstar Shiner 23:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Marshie's Mother never spoke. Jumbo/LARGE is a stupid phrase. Wilbur is a speaking character that has pretty much no ties with other characters. Bluebry 23:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

But Strong Bad describes him as a version of The Cheat!-LordQuackingstick 23:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

But the character himself has no ties to the character of the cheat other than the body. He doesn't speak like the cheat, act like the cheat, or do anything cheat like. The character may have been based on the idea of a video programming cheat being, but he's no more a version of the cheat than Homsar is a version of Homestar Runner. (and I enjoy using the phrase JUMBO/large!) - ISTC 23:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT:Yeah, but he didn't say he was Teh Cheat, did he? By ties, I mean family/variation. (By the way, it was programming version of The Cheat. Programming.) Bluebry 23:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

But that means he's a variation, right? You sysops are gonna make me cry.-LordQuackingstick 23:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

TEN ZILLION EDIT CONFLICTS LATER... Create a page for one-email-only characters so he can be put there! And let me post a comment here without getting another edit conflict! -Brightstar Shiner 23:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT:Nah, methinks not. Variations are like, PBTC or Puppet Homestar. Or, to a lesser degree, Buckethand Strong Bad. Mainly, my point is, the page deserves to live. NOT EDIT CONFLICT: Nah... We can't create a compilation page for every type of character. That's why some need to be separate. Bluebry 23:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT: Wilbur is to The Cheat as Ron Cumberdale is to Rather Dashing; they're seperate characters, identical in appearance only, and each one has a name. They both deserve their own page. --ENUSY 23:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
