[edit] Running gags on Drawn Together

Running gags on Drawn Together (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A gigantic list of trivia and such about a modestly (at best) popular cable cartoon series. There are no references, no way to show that these are running gags, or notable, or most of all, why there should be a page about this subject. Basically, a big batch of trivia. A similar article on Around The Horn was previously deleted. Dannycali 21:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I haven't seen so much trivia in one place since the SpongeBob SquarePants episode articles were deleted. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 21:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete just a trivial list of a few folks favorite jokes on a lame television show. Burntsauce 22:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment Personal opinions of a subject are not relevant to this discussion.Raymondluxuryacht 19:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This article basically functions as a discussion of the show's comedic style. As for references, most of the gags mentioned cite episodes in which said gags can be found.Raymondluxuryacht 19:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Would like to point out per AFD guidelines and the WP community that this user is the creator of said article, and appears to be the most prolific editor on said page. Dannycali 21:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Nonnotable trivia. The few times it attempts to give creative insight, it is pure Original Research ("[this] would seem to be the producers' way of directly criticizing their own characters", "These moments are completely non-canon and are simply intended to be humorous", "jokes which serve as both self-deprecating humor, and as a satirical way of making fun of bigoted attitudes against Jews"). For a non-fan, there's nothing to learn from this article that couldn't also be summarized in a few sentences in the main article. – sgeureka ^t•c 20:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I think this should be kept as it will prevent the main article from gettin useless triva. ForeverDEAD 21:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment The whole "put all the crap on one page to get it off of others" is not a valid argument to keep an article. Read WP:TRIVIA. Dannycali 21:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment So true, Dannycali. The uphill battle to get this through the heads of what feels like EVERYONE ELSE BUT ME on Wikipedia is much steeper than I could have ever imagined. Burntsauce 17:28, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as a trivia list -- Whpq 16:39, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
