It has been suggested that the content of the page this talk page accompanies should not be a separate article on the wiki.

  • Please discuss below whether the content of the page should have its own article. Remember to consider ways the content could be brought up to the wiki's standards before making this determination.

If it is decided that the content should not have its own article, then the following additional issues need to be addressed:

  • Whether to merge the content with another page or remove it entirely.
  • Whether to redirect the leftover page or delete it outright.
 


Needed?

Okay, so I better hope this one is actually okay compared to the Smoldering one. The only thing missing is a picture of someone actually doing one of these fake sound effects.--Silent 20:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC) Edit: Er. That quickly? Er. I'm really, really sorry for that if it does turns out to be a dupe...

I could go either way on this. This isn't quite within the scope of sound effects but i'm not sure there's enough of a connection between the instances to merit a page. Thoughts? (Either way, it needs cleanup) — Defender1031*Talk 20:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think its needed. Ex: Page content doesn't match title in my mind. Expensive for SFX? Nonsense! "Ding" or "Gulp" or even a "Cough" wouldn't be expensive. Expensive should only be used if they can't find, like, a helicopter sound when it's taking off, and they just go "punkity-punkity" in a regular voice. That still wouldn't be very good material for this page. I vote DELETE for this reason. Maybe if we retitle it to: Inanimate Onomatopoeias, or something like that, my vote will change. But until then...DELETE. DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 20:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Most of your comments are on the current state of hte page rather than what it could be turned into. Give it a chance to be cleaned up and comment on its merits as a potential article, rather than what stands now. — Defender1031*Talk 20:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Whatever the name ends up to be, I think this article should stay. If already have enough appearances as it is and subject is unique to TBC's style. Keep. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 21:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
The problem, though, is we already have a similar page, namely onomatopoeia, which documents in table form various sound effects vocalized by characters. Probably the best way to handle this would be merge the two articles, since they do cover similar and related topics. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree. All of the appearances on this page are onomatopoeia, so merging with that article is an appropriate solution. Trey56 15:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I disagree, though not strongly. Onomatopoeia is when you talk about the sound by imitating it - "Preeeow", for instance, is used mainly to describe The Paper's sound effect, not to replace it.

Rename

Assuming this is kept, perhaps a better name would suit it? Heimstern suggested "Vocalized Sound Effects". — Defender1031*Talk 20:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw part of "Pronounced Sound Effects" on the article itself. How 'bout it? DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 20:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

"Pronounced Sound Effects" sounds good. I was going to suggest something with the word "onomatopoeia" in it because I'm pretty sure that's what it's called when you say sounds like that or something, but I wasn't sure. --Acam30 03:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
