[edit] Parodies on South Park

Parodies on South Park (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - indiscriminate collection of trivia as well as being a mass of original research. A list of every single thing that's ever been parodied in an episode of South Park, or everything that in the unsourced and unsubstantiated opinion of whatever random editor is parodied on South Park, is not encyclopedic.

  • Sadly, delete as original research. Good content and I would hope to find it in an encyclopedia, but WP:NOR isn't debatable. Stifle (talk) 18:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I think that some cultural reference lists merit articles, but the connections listed here are very trivial and not significantly meaningful. — xDanielx T/C 20:16, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; Unless there are books by writers or other critics that could be used as citations, then in that case, keep. Irk Come in for a drink! 21:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. OR, and cruft. Malinaccier (talk • contribs) 22:15, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Has plenty of merit, and if Wikipedia will delete this where else will this info be available? --bobsmith319 00:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as it concerns a notable show and a major aspect of the show for which the show has received much attention and controversy. I will do what I can to address the original research concern by adding sources in the next few minutes so that the article satisfies our requirements for "List". It already meets notability requirements. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 00:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is clearly original research, trivia and cruft. South Park is notable, but not every aspect of it is. RobJ1981 18:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral seems to need some sourcing, but it's a great article to have here. I don't see this as original research of it only get some more links. Or really, if something is obvious when you first point at it, does it need sourcing then? I'm leaning to keep.After all, this is a really notable show, and we're not making a paper encyclopedia here.Greswik 14:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
