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.
 


O.K, why did someone nominate this article for deletion? User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man

I don't see a running gag here. The TROGDOR! instance was a direct reference to trevor the vampire, but the your funeral instance seems wholly unrelated. In other words, I think TBC are just using English words the way they're meant to be used. — It's dot com 23:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Don't delete my sentence DOT COM! And by the way, if it's not a running gag, then what is it? User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man
Your comments were removed in an edit conflict. When I noticed that they had no purpose on the page, and shouldn't have been posted, I chose not to resolve the conflict. I'm saying this page is not a running gag and therefore should not have its own page. — It's dot com 23:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, it depends on that third appearance. The first two are definitely connected, but I'm not so sure the third one is. Since three is the magic number for a running gag getting its own page, we'd have to get consensus that the your funeral appearance is a play off of trevor the vampire.

Ohhh, there right. Sorry Drippingyellowmadness, but there right. User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man

your funeral refers to trevor the vampire. As the "pine for me" seems to me to be a reference of sorts (if not directly, then directly to the sane source), keep. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 00:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

The first two appearances were both exactly "I pine for you!". The third was "...all the heartbroken private school girls that will pine-uh for me-uh." It's so different that it doesn't seem to be a running gag. Third sighting? Methinks not. However, I reluctantly agree that the page conforms with general wiki standards (The third is a reference of "pine for you/me", even if it ISN'T related to the other two. Hard to understand, I know.) However, my gut points me to delete. Bluebry 01:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
If think this is a good page and I vote to keep. Sure the phrase is said a bit differently in the third appearance, but it's still someone pining for someone else. They could have chosen a whole bunch of other phrases, but I believe TBC knew they were referring to vampire/TROGDOR! when they added it to the toon. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 09:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Additionally, throwing out the idea to rename to Pining. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 13:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Good idea. I'll do it right now! User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man
