[edit] Shøp

A whole article about a fictional shop that has been mentioned once i one single episode on The Simpsons seemes to much. --Maitch 18:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --Maitch 18:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, as well as being fancruft. It's one thing if a place appears regularly (or at least is recurring) on the show... it's another when it appears once and then is never seen again in further episodes. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Hrmpf... As a Swede, I take offense by the claim that this is a fictional Danish chain. Despite the Ø, the Shøp store in the episode in question (Eight Misbehavin') is obviously intended as a parody of IKEA. I think the exterior seen at the beginning of the episode was even blue and yellow. Redirect to IKEA. u p p l a n d 19:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, they did actually say a Danish store in the episode and as far as I remember it wasn't a furniture shop, so I wouldn't redirect to IKEA. --Maitch 19:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This has potential, someone needs to edit it, and place a "stub" Wikitag onto it. EZZIE 19:12, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A one note joke that can be mentioned in the relevant episode guide. Redirect if necessary. Gamaliel 19:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Dælete Cruftalicious, maybe merge with List of Simpsons Stores & Signs. Eivind^t@c 20:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Which will also be deleted. Just delete them all as Simpsoncruft. Danny Lilithborne 21:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete though any more simpsons articles and a group deletion ought to be proposed Robdurbar 21:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This fictitious "shop" has absolutely no context outside of the single episode in which it was (briefly and not-really-notably) used. I could see redirecting to Eight Misbehavin', but I'm really having a hard time figuring out when someone would actually search for or link to an article by this title. Wikipedia doesn't need a stub about every single unremarkable fictitious location, from the Simpsons or otherwise. -- Krash (Talk) 22:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Smashy. Cruftavio Maximo. Herostratus 06:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: It's Swedish, not Danish, and it's a parody of IKEA, and the "article" is a predicate nominative substub that qualifies as a CSD. Delete, and then delete the ground it was made on. Geogre 13:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

It is Danish. That is what they say in the episode. Swedish doens't even use the letter Ø. If it were Swedish the joke should have been "Shöp". --Maitch 13:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but make it a redirect to Eight Misbehavin', the episode where it was taken from. (Having said that, it's perhaps a little pointless, as no pages on the mainspace link to this page.) Nuge talk 16:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as pointless Simpsons cruft per Krash. --Lockley 22:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
