[edit] The FCC Song

The FCC Song (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No real life information, and I doubt one can be added. (just in case I'm watching the page.) All the article states is why one song was censored. This is a general encyclopedia, we don't need big details of one small song, unless it is very important. Censored in one episode isn't good enough. TheBlazikenMaster 23:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment This is an example of the sort of information that tends to populate articles on Family Guy articles, especially episode articles. The intention here is to detail and explain everything that happens on-screen in a show that makes constant quick references, and the standard defense is that these explanations are valuable. I don't agree that these things belong on Wikipedia, but that is the defense for this article in its current form. (Another popular defense is the article will get better and the topic will become notable in the future, but I won't go there.) / edg ☺ ☭ 23:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. As a contributor to Family Guy articles myself, this serves no meaningful purpose on Wikipedia, it should just be mentioned in the article about the episode, it doesn't need its own article... Qst (talk) 23:30, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I, the Supreme Potentate, say: KEEP!. First I would ask: what harm is the article doing you by existing? Why do you care? Will you lose sleep over this article's existence? Is it infringing on your personal freedoms? Secondly: this most certainly is NOT an "in-universe" thing. This is about the COMPLETE AND TOTAL OPPOSITE -- this article is about something a real show did in real life, which dealt with real political and social issues, and had real consequences in the real legal system and real government. It was Emmy-worthy none-the-less. It deserves its own page. Piercetheorganist 23:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
    • We care because Wikipedia requires sources. If you are right, then for good time sakes proof it by sourcing. And don't use personal attacks, (like you did in the edit summary) they are harmful for offended editors, Wikipedia is supposed to be a helpful place. TheBlazikenMaster 23:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
    • No article causes any harm. That's not why they get deleted. This is entirely original reserch and makes no point at all. It's just things that you'd automatically know by seeing the clip, needlessly separated from the episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.194.123 (talk) 18:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
      • No, I wasn't meaning the article was harmful, I meant this edit summary. TheBlazikenMaster 18:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. You've got to be kidding. The actual individual episode of this show that this song is in is already in the WP. Let's create an article for each stanza of the song! --- tqbf 23:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, whilst I am a huge Family Guy fan, this belongs on the PTV episode page, not in it's own article, and it should be cut down somewhat. --UnleashTheWolves 00:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect back into the article about the Family Guy episode that this came from. I'm sure someone will write, "But the PTV article is too big already!" so I will add "Tough shit, get lost." Mandsford 02:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as ridiculously non-notable fancruft. Terraxos 18:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • keep. This song is from an Emmy Award winning TV show. Kingturtle 17:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
    By the way, there are 1000s of articles about particular songs. There is nothing wrong with such articles. Give this article a chance to grow. Kingturtle 01:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
    • This reason is invalid per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. TheBlazikenMaster 14:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
      • Unfortunately that's the problem, it can't grow. This was only used in ONE episode, the show might be notable but the song isn't. Please find reliable sources for the article, if you care about it so much. It doesn't have any, and probably never will. TheBlazikenMaster 17:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
