[edit] YTMND Forums

Let us consider the notoriety of this topic. Does Wikipedia really need an aricle about a forum? Jaberwocky6669 | ☎ 18:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• Hey, the Montreal Forum is notable! This one, however, is not (nor is it that kind of forum). Delete. Lord Bob 19:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Why did I say that? I knew there was a YTMND article. I freakin' knew that. Merge. Lord Bob 23:49, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Or Do Not Merge If this article wasn't related to the encyclopedic YTMND article then I would agree with you, but since it is I'm voting keep. The forum's influence on YTMND cannot be denied and the forum's history is too detailed to be included in the main article. Further, Wikipedia admins and mods basically said that YTMND forum history and information has no place in the main YTMND article. NOTE #1: I am not a YTMND forums user. NOTE #2: I created the YTMND forums article by culling the admin/mod deleted forum history material from the YTMND article and pasting it there. I don't know enough about the forums to do anything else really besides fight vandalism on that article. I'm just a lone YTMND editor who strongly believes that the YTMND forum users need their own article. Not only does it keep the YTMND article clean, but it also documents an important part of an important pop culture artifact.Celerityfm 19:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The main article has everything it needs about the forums in it already. The whole point of the forums article was/is for stuff that is not appropriate for the main article. Celerityfm 21:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to YTMND. Friday (talk) 22:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and please sign your votes. -- Kjkolb 03:50, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this fairly boring 'article'. Not just because it's nn, but b/c (unless somebody has archives of all the posts) its unverifiable and could even be original research (it appears to be told by a participant). Eaglizard 15:24, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into parent article. -Sean Curtin 03:20, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• merge anything useful into ytmnd.com article.

• Keep needs a clean up badly, but would rather it be deleted than merged Macks 19:31, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete So much stuff happens on the ytmnd forums that most of these 'events' aren't even noticable. The forced fad section should be merged into the YTMND article and the rest deleted Rwed 17:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
