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.
 


Although you don't see this word as much as "gonna" in real life, it is still very common. TBC certainly didn't make it up, and in fact I myself use it. It's not even close to as weird as "be's"; it does not need a page. — It's dot com 03:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I use it a lot myself. I agree with deletion. I've also heard it used by Mario and crew long before I even knew who Strong Bad was. --DorianGray
I agree with deletion, a fun face regarding anydangway was declined for the same reasons, and that was just a fun fact. small_logo.pngUsername-talk 04:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree with deleting it. I have seen it used quite a lot. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 04:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Agree. Delete. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 05:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
To be fair, I had never heard this term before H*R. But if this many people have, I guess the article's not worth keeping. (Maybe it's uncommon here in the West?) Heimstern Läufer 16:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
As mentioned by DorianGray, Super Mario used the phrase before Homestar, therefor it's not unique to the Homestar world. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 17:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Although that could be explained by their pseudo-Italian accents, I still think it's a good place to start. Example: In Mario Kart 64, Wario was known for "I'm-a Wario. I'm-a gonna win!" --DorianGray
Hmm, I don't think the Wario example is the same as this. "I'ma" is a contraction of "I am going to" (I am going to → I'm gonna → I'm'onna → I'ma). That said, my position above is unchanged. — It's dot com 19:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
