[edit] Thugaboo

This was originally crystal-balling when I first started to get rid of it. Since it happened an hour ago, you guys decide. Seems like utterly trival TV prog to me. But then, what do I know.Mattisse(talk) 01:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Looks really, really, really awful, but it's a real and verifiable TV program from notable people on a notable network. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. It's a real TV show, but it hasn't even gotten listed in the IMDb yet. --Metropolitan90 01:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Even though it is a one-off special, it is on a major network and with major talent behind it. —C.Fred (talk) 02:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. I'm not totally convinced that specials deserve to be considered notable enough for an article, but I'm leaning that way at the moment. Erechtheus 04:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Not my tea, but it got a bit of attention back in January when it was announced (see here for PR), and a real show that will air. Nate 09:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Erechtheus. The article was initially in terrible shape and looked like nonsense. Since then its improved, probably enough to be kept. If kept it should be moved to "Thugaboo: Sneaker Madness" Gwernol 13:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - as it is an aired show on a major network. The entire character section, though, was lifted straight from the web site. I've removed it, but that leaves a rather small stub. -- Whpq 13:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - It was a very painful and irritating one-hour special, but it existed. -The Hams 18:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete -- I'm inclined to think that one-off specials aren't in themselves sufficiently notable to justify articles. If they create a stir in some way, becoming part of a continuing public debate, that's different. But this could be handled as a graf within an article about its producers. --Christofurio 21:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note the article has been moved to the more correct title of Thugaboo: Sneaker Madness Gwernol 01:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The pilot episode was named "Sneaker Madness", because D-Roc thought up a scheme to make a lot of money selling sneakers. The name of the show is just "Thugaboo".--Dark Tichondrias 06:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks for moving it back. Gwernol 06:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per C.Fred. This was a really bizarre show, despite its good intentions, and I'm sure we'll see more discussion about it sometime soon. Zagalejo 02:27, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it's a verifiable TV program on Nickelodean.-Dark Tichondrias 03:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It really seems insignificant, and doesn't really need it's own page. It could be relocated to the page on it's creators or something. Generalnonsensecomic 04:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It isn't a series, merely a few "specials" from what I have read. Should be mentioned on the creator's pages but don't give this garbage an entry of it's own. If it gets picked up for a series, then it would make sense. Vaginsh 04:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Just because you don't like a certain thing doesn't mean that you need to censor it. Are you hosting this on your server, no you aren't, so why delete it. It's a series that has been aired on Nickelodeon, I had no idea what the hell I was watching when I turned on the TV, but since there was a Wiki article on it I know what it is now.Hypertails 20:47, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Probably the best pilot I've ever watched. I was literally rolling on my couch laughing. But regardless, it's an existent TV show and TV shows are definitely on Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.37.180.112 (talk • contribs) .
• Keep Stupid program, but it does exist. Scienceman123 02:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a show on Nickolodeon, created by the Wayans Brothers. Whether you like it or not has no bearing on the matter. I find it ridiculous that this was singled out for deletion with all the un-notable articles on this site about comics and every single character. ~ Some guy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.41.126.223 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep please it is verifiable television show we do not erase these Yuckfoo 17:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
