Ketchup is an extremely common real-world item. It is not notable within the Homestar Runner body of work.

But it comes up alot in Homestar Runner. Eggs are a common item, too, but they have their own page. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 18:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure, there are many generic food and drinks that are notable wihtin the Homestar Runner body of work. Ketchup isn't one of them. -- Tom 18:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

How is Ketchup not one of them? Explain that to me. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 18:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

A generic food has to have quite a few appearances before it becomes a running gag, simply because it's generic. In this case, I agree that there aren't nearly enough. However, there is a running gag for a specific brand of ketchup: Quite Fancy 'Chup. Trey56 18:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I didn't put all of the appearances up there. There are more. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 18:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Agree. I think Ketchup should have at least 3 more appearances before it is a good page or play a major role in a Strong Bad Email or toon. But for now: Delorted! Sam the Man 19:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm thinking this deserves to be...Delteated!-- Nevadie 21:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

It's time to let it go. Deleted! --Collin Diver 22:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Dude there are like 50 apearences of ketchup. I just didnt put them on there. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 20:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you guys hate me. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 20:55, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Jangles, it has nothing to do with you; we're just discussing the merit of the page. It's unrelated to whether or not you created it, so don't take it personally. Talk atcha later, Trey56 20:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

No, like every single page I've made has been deleted, except for 2. thats like, 2 out of 10. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 21:00, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, man, it is not you, dude. It is just the article is too generic. Delete, but don't take it personal. You are still cool. B-) --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 21:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know specifically which pages you created in the past, but this happens to a lot of new pages. The problem is that we already have almost all the ones we need (with a few exceptions). Sorry, though. I know it can be frustrating. Trey56 21:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

But Ketchup still comes up alot. Like Eggs. so, KEEP!!!--Jangles5150 (words+helps) 21:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Jangles, just about every long-time user has had something they worked on get deleted. It's not personal. Nobody hates you. That said, here's the problem I see with this article: On the one hand, yes, there are a lot of appearances, enough to probably justify an article, but on the other hand, ketchup is such a common real-world item that of course it shows up lots of times. The question we have to answer is, is it really that notable? — It's dot com 21:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

EGGS COME UP IN THE REAL WORLD TOO. ALOT MORE THEN KETCHUP.and yes, it is worthy of its own page. --Jangles5150 (words+helps) 21:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Jangles, please stop complaining. It's got nothing to do with you. We are deciding. Sam the Man
