This is all already covered in Retro Gaming Character Variations, Bad Graphics Ghost, and Peasant's Quest Preview. Copying the text from three different places and pasting it all together does not an article make. -- Tom 20:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- First I was going to make the article, clean it up, and then request to have the Bad Graphics Ghost page deleted, or to redirect here. Also, doesn't this also, make things more organized?--H*Bad 21:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- No, it puts three things that all happen to share two adjectives all jumbled together. Also, pages are moved with the page move feature of the MediaWiki software, not a copy/paste and then redirect or delete. (And please do not attempt to move the Bad Graphics Ghost article here now, we are still discussing the merit of this article.) -- Tom 21:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- (Don't worry I won't move it)So, I believe that this article should stay, for one reason there are far worse articles on here than this. Second off, give this article a chance to expand, instead of going straight at it to delete it.--H*Bad 21:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this grouping is particularly meaningful. At best, this could serve as a disambiguation page. The concept of "Bad Graphics" isn't quite endemic enough to be called a running gag, and it's unlikely anyone searching for "Bad Graphics" would be looking for every instance of "bad graphics" on the site anyway. - Qermaq - (T/C)

- Also, whether or not a graphic fits into the "bad graphics" category is quite subjective. For example, do games done in the Atari or NES style have "bad graphics" because the image resolution is equal to or less than that of the "Bad graphics ghost"?

- Qermaq: Sure, I think a redirect or at the most a disambiguation page could work. Trey56: A very good point. I think that's why we use "Retro Gaming" in the Retro Gaming Character Variations article. -- Tom 21:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but I don't seem to remember the Bad Graphics ghost as a Retro Gaming Character Variation.--H*Bad 22:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's not under Retro Gaming, as the BGG is its own character, not a different version of an already-existing one. I think, however, it might be neat having a page of characters that aren't variations or from retro games, but are still bad graphics anyway. Like the BGG or Rather Dashing. --DorianGray
