Why do we need this page? We have the the site updates pages and every email have it's date in the actual page. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 13:55, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think it should stay. Looking around, I see that we have:
 
-
:[[Strong Bad Email By Length]]
 
-
:[[Strong Bad Email By Name]]
 
-
:[[Strong Bad Email By Place]]
 
-
:[[Strong Bad Email Intros]]

Which is to say, whenever you have a large amount of data, there are several valid ways of organizing it. I like these pages because you never know when you're going to need to isolate a particular bit of info. As a knowledge base, if someone has done the research and compiled a list, it's handier to keep it than throw it away. For example, ''this'' particular page is useful when discussing the question: "The Paper is scheduled to be replaced in sbemail #173; given the rate emails have been released since [[montage]], when will this occur?" (answer: about February 2007). Or: "How many emails to date (whose dates are known) were not released on Monday?" (answer: 18). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:15, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:You make a good case. Mostly I put "deletion" template on it to open up more discussion (so people can realize it's in danger of deletion). I'm still undecided about whether it should stay. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:16, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I'd publish the link to my sortable Strong Bad Email database, but I'm afraid all the trolls we seem to attract would attack my site! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:35, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Based on the argument stated by It's dot com, if this page gets deleted then so should all of those other pages that don't seem to be causing any trouble.  I had my doubts about this page at first, but now I think we should keep it. <br>{{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 16:33, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::[[Strong Bad Email By Length]],  [[Strong Bad Email By Name]], and [[Strong Bad Email By Place]] are articles that sort the emails by a certain characteristic.  [[Strong Bad Email Raps]] is about the Strong Bad Email menu.  [[Strong Bad Email Intros]] and [[Strong Bad Email Page Titles]] display similar things that occur in each email that differ slightly from week to week or after a certain time.  [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]] is an informational article.
 
-
:::This article ([[Strong Bad Email Release Dates]]) as it was when this discussion started just listed the emails in chronological order.  This was already done on the [[Strong Bad Email]] page and in the [[H*R.com updates 2005|Recent Updates]] series of articles.  We generally don't like to [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|repeat information supplied elsewhere]].  I see now that the day of the week has been added.  This is a good improvement.  If the article was expanded to include some more of the information that It's dot com suggested, the article would further provide new information.  I look forward to seeing what else we can do.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:44, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::The information may be available elsewhere, but it is not consolidated into a single location. That's what makes this page useful. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:46, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::Yes.  I should have been more clear.  I only brought up the [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once guideline]] when I referred to the old state of the article.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:52, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

And it's interesting to talk about "the lost email" #22. I mean, would people back then figure [[little animal]] was email #22? -[[User: Gordon 584|Gordon 584]]

:Good point. I've put the emails in the usual order with an asterisk that leads to the Fun Facts section. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:40, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: No, little animal was always sbemail23.html. In fact, before it was added to the sbemail menu, sbemail22.html, "the lost email", was accessible by typing the URL. [[User:198.49.180.254|198.49.180.254]] 23:49, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I've replaced emails 2-6 with 2001 instead of Unknown because we ''know'' they were released 2001.-[[User:Gordon 584|Gordon 584]]
