[edit] Episodes of 12 oz. Mouse

This is FAQ territory, and not is suitable for Wikipedia. This page is a car wreck, and attracts a lot of confused anonymous users to add information which isn't formatted in a way that is appropriate on Wikipedia. Put simply, we don't need this much 12 oz. Mouse information on Wikipedia. WMarsh 17:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• The show is modernist to the most extreme sense....

• Merge (after trimming substantially) with Adult Swim Ruby 17:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• GOD, NO! Please leave this critter up for a while so I have a better shot at figuring this show out. PLEASE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.144.129.233 (talk • contribs)

• Keep and improve, or merge back to main article; Adult Swim series are notable, with a large fan base. I don't like deleting an article on the basis of how it might be edited in the future, although I suspect WMarsh has a point. MCB 06:56, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I think that would be the correct action to take in most cases, but sane upkeep of this page is impossible. Suggestions of large edits are met with resistance (see discussion page), and the show fan-base doesn't intersect much with the set of experienced Wikipedians. If this page was re-written there would be very little content left, and it would be a nightmare to maintain. I should also point out that all of this content originally was part of the main article which was later split into episode/character articles when it became unwieldy - merging is just going to bring us back to square one. I came to the main article after the split and made large edits in an attempt to "save" it - I don't think the same will work for the episode/character articles. WMarsh 12:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• The material is a mess, but it has every right of inclusion as, lets say, List of Star Trek episodes. Some material could go back to the main 12 oz. Mouse article (so a merge to Adult Swim is unnecessary), but it is fixable and should be kept. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 06:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean up to conform to standards. Maybe merge with 12 oz. Mouse if there's little content afterwards, although this is a renewed show for which the episodes will probably eventually require their own page, regardless of amount of content. IMO it seems a little ludicrous to say "we don't need this much _____ information on Wikipedia." Not to mention discouraging to the users who provided all this information in the first place. If upkeep is impossible, wouldn't it be better to just lock the page after it is cleaned up, or have someone watching to reformat or revert edits, rather than taking down all the information on the show? Please, let's not take down perfectly valid information due to a formatting dispute. Mac4drew
