[edit] Kolben, Montana

can't find any reference to the Krane brothers, numerous rambling posts from anon user today - unsigned nomination by M0nster0 (talk · contribs)

  • Delete Patent nonsense. --Xcali 19:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete User in question's only contributions have been vandalism - this is no different. AndrewH 19:59, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete I find the addition of "Kolben, Montana" and similar articles to Wikipedia a good which should not be stunted. It is an absurd injustice that these articles should be removed merely because no practical relation to the Krane brothers can be determined. Thomas Aquinas
    • User's tenth edit, seems to be a sock of TalkingAl—Wahoofive (talk) 21:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not DeleteThis article is not vandalism, but an article about a fictional city on a show that you haven't heard of. DE-TalkingAl
  • Delete, a fictional city invented by a pair of comedians. Not real, no indication of notability, no potential to become encyclopedic. Barno 20:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • This user vandalized user DE-TalkingAl's page - unsigned comment by Thomas AquinasII (talk · contribs)
  • Do Not Delete As a response to "Barno:" did not "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" begin as the insignificant invention of comics? What, then, prevents "Kolben, Montana" from attaining incorporation into popular culture? It should not be destroyed as a virtual embryo, incapable of propagation. Thomas AquinasII
    • User's first edit, another sock—Wahoofive (talk) 21:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • This isn't the place to try to drum up interest. When it becomes part of pop culture, then come back and write an article. Wikipedia is about what is and what has been, not what might be. --Xcali 21:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • When it becomes as notable as Monty Python, then we'll include it. Jacob1207 01:59, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • What prevents Wikipedia as a method of promoting popular culture incorporation; it is contrary to justice to promote an arbitrary declaration which fails to serve the common good. unsigned comment by DE-TalkingAl II (talk · contribs)
  • Delete non-notable. --Etacar11 21:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete Don't delete! Yo Mama 5000
  • Do Not DeleteBarno, you nerd, the intention is for it to be fictional! It is like writing an article about Springfield from the Simpsons. And in response to "no reference to the Krane brothers" the Krane brothers are two writers/comedians, let's leave it at that. DE-TalkingAl
  • Delete, non-notable. DopefishJustin (･∀･) 21:31, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-existent town allegedly created by non-notable comedians. Could it get less notable? Frjwoolley 21:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete because a) there are no independent references from established sources in pop culture, indicating a lack of notability, b) there are no independent references to these comedians indicating they are of any importance to anyone other than themselves, and c) this article is supported by sockpuppets, all of whom should be burned with fire. --Scimitar 22:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable joke by non-notable comedians. Googling for "Krane brothers" doesn't bring up any results about comedians (most were misspelled references to Niles & Frasier Crane on Frasier). — Gwalla | Talk 22:05, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There seems to be a surplus of sockpuppets here. --Carnildo 23:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable fictional place created by non-notable people. This ain't no Springfield. RickK 23:50, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete fictional place of interest to sockpuppets but apparently of limited interest currently to huimans. Capitalistroadster 00:23, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable, even if it really is a fictional city. Jacob1207 01:59, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article itself says this is a fictional town. Not notable. Kaibabsquirrel 05:50, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
