[edit] Mind Your P's and ... P's.

From: your funeral

Arguments for:

1. A tad obvious, but still noteworthy.
2. It does, indeed, make sense. Besided, you'd be surprised at how many people don't know which letter is which.

Arguments against:

Additional comments:

• This was removed/changed/re-added several times.
• The tone of the fact in its current form is not encyclopedic at all. It needs to be rewritten.
  • It's been rewritten once as far as I know. I submitted "The letter P is the 16th letter in the English alphabet, which may refer to Chapter 16 being Pizza places." which got changed to "...alphabet, hence Chapter 16..."
    • I'm neutral to this fact, but prefer the wording it uses now. The old way, it sounds like a fact that's either "No, duh" to English speakers, or is written for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the English alphabet... and if they're unfamiliar with the English alphabet, why would they be reading an English-language fansite?
      • It's perfect in its current form, because it explains exactly why the fact makes sense. The other ways don't make sense.
        • Indeed, because while "unencylopedic", this is the kind of thing that'd make people say "Huh, neat. Didn't notice that.", while saying "...is a reference to the fact that..." sounds... well, a bit too blunt.

[edit] A Ninja Reference's Last Words??

From: your funeral

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

1. As it is currently written, this entry does not mention a specific characteristic to show that it is a reference.
2. A eulogy is not the same thing as someone's last words.
3. This is only a similarity, it does not meet the requirements for a reference.
4. TTATOT

Additional comments:

• Is this considered overwhelming enough to close already? (I don't know how to do it, can't find a walkthrough)
  • The standard is to keep them open at least three or four days unless there's closer to a 20-vote difference before then. Even if the outcome is pretty clear, this gives everyone a chance to see it before it's closed.
