[edit] Killer Japanese Seizure Robots

If it wasn't for its use in The Simpsons, I think this article would have been deleted a long time ago. However, it's on the border of notability even with that, there's no "cultural" references section within the Simpsons main article and I don't have all that much trust in merging articles(I tried merging one awhile ago, and nothing has happened, maybe i'm just missing something here.) This would be a perfect lodestone for a "Foriegn Culture in the Simpsons" article though. Karmafist 22:27, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• • Comment I saw this as a contribution about the article above -- "Moonspiracy" -- and wondered if it was a bit from "Grampa vs Sexual Inadequacy" that I had missed. Ben-w 00:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• It's a reference to Porygon. Merge/redirect there, else delete Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:02, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
• It could be Merged with either Banned episodes of Pokémon or Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo. I don't know. I'll vote keep if someone points out individual notability. CanadianCaesar 00:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Also, regarding how to merge things, see Wikipedia:Duplicate articles. It's much easier than listing something for VfD, trust me. CanadianCaesar 00:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't know, putting in {{vfd}} is pretty easy;-). Couldn't find a duplicate to this article though. Karmafist 03:48, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
      • People make mistakes with VfD all the time; just today I had to add a header to someone else's nomination (I always forget that part myself, and have to go back and add it) and then add their nomination to the main page. I hate putting things on VfD. It's valid information. How do you measure notability? Can it be redirected somewhere? Can it be merged somewhere? Are people going to be annoyed with you for nominating something? Also, you need not find a "duplicate article" in the strictest definition, just an article with a similar topic. The first thing I merged was Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish" (A Simpsons episode) with characters who only appeared in that episode, the Flying Hellfish squad. They're not exactly on the same topic (an episode vs. characters), but they fit in together. CanadianCaesar 04:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I was going to say merge but the article needs a lot of rewriting as it is. So just get rid of it and add some information in Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo. Don't mention the retarded website though. - Hahnchen 01:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Rename to Battling Seizure Robots (which is the actual title of the show), then delete most of the content and merge/redir the rest to either the episode capsule, or a list of shows within the Simpsons. Radiant_>|< 12:55, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
