[edit] Mr. Sparkle

Minor character that appeared in one episode and made a cameo appearance in another. Most of the article is the transcription of the part where he is actually seen, and I don't think anything more than one or two sentences can be said about this. --Conti|✉ 04:17, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per Simpsons precedent. Dcarrano 13:51, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep: I suggest taking out the transcript on the basis of copyright. Otherwise harmless. Peter Grey 22:00, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with some other Simpsons article and delete transcript (highly possible copyvio) Renata3 21:18, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to In Marge We Trust, the only episode in which Mr. Sparkle plays a major role. He also appears in Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo, but just as a cameo. Binadot 02:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Only because the transcript is a copyvio. When the In Marge We Trust article is covered, we'll get a fuller description. Almafeta 03:08, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to In Marge We Trust, as it does seem to be mostly a description of that episode. Crovax 08:36, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He's not just known for In Marge We Trust. Look at the Engrish article: he's "a well-known parody of Engrish." As mentioned, he was also in Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo. Failing this, Merge somewhere. CanadianCaesar 23:17, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a stereotype about Japan, but in pog-form! I mean... as an independent character. Plus, it appeared twice in the series.--Baka toroi 03:01, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with In Marge We Trust. Not a noteworthy character by anybody outside the strong Simpsons fanbase, and the article is basically a Copywrite Vio and a description of the episode- it doesn't need its own article, the only reason he's "noted as a well known Engrish parody" is because a Simpson fan wrote that he was, I wouldn't say anybody I met in the street would describe him that way. --195.92.168.165 01:19, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with In Marge We Trust. About that "Engrish" quote, I actually deleted it because it doesn't have anything to do with Engrish at all. Engrish is mangled ENGLISH in Japan. Mr. Sparkle's packaging is completely in Japanese. Mike H (Talking is hot) 21:33, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
