Should this be in Rejects? He has only ever been mentioned once! -- Asploder

Because no one outside TBC really understand this character, or know the story behind "Get Fushling", it would make it an inside joke between the brothers. - Dr Haggis - Talk 19:22, 28 Dec 2004 (MST)

BALEET

Should this article even be here? Kewpie was never seen again, so he doesn't need his own article.

Kewpie Dan's origins revealed?! Probably not.

Okay, listen to this: today, I learned that the French word for "Cupid" is cupidon. This is pronounced koo-pee dahn, with the "ah" in "dahn" pronounced like in "da," the Russian word for yes. This is a stretch, but when I heard it, it was the first thing I thought of. It'd be better if it was a Valentine's toon he's from, but y'know...-LordQuackingstick 21:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete Redux

Hm. Taking a look at this page, it doesn't really seem that useful. It's "long-standing", and while I *do* realize the trouble TBD'ing these kinds of articles tend to cause, in the end, it's basically a page dedicated to an obscure, mysterious character in a broken Easter egg with no actual role in the toon. Yeah, it was perfectly acceptable in the days of the old Wiki, but it *does* seem quite unnecessary by today's revised standards; I've seen more informative articles unanimously deleted. We know next to nothing about this "character", and just about all we *do* know can be easily be mentioned in Dan and The House That Gave Sucky Treats, respectively. I'd say, redirect it, probably to Dan. I get the feeling like this idea will meet with opposition from the usual suspects, but it's pretty much high time this article got some serious discussion. There've been two "Delete?" threads here over the last few years, but no actual discussion has ever taken place. -YKHi. I'm Ayjo! 04:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Some points to consider: Is Kewpie a character/pseudocharacter, or just a recurrence of the Dan running gag? If the former, covering this on Dan is out of the question, as characters shouldn't be covered on running gag articles. If the latter, coverage on Dan is the right thing to do.
Here's why I argue he's a character/pseudocharacter: First, he is acknowledged by Strong Bad as a person (and one worthy of an egging, at that). Secondly, we have an actual picture, which I find far from trivial in establishing his importance. (It also shows TBC put more effort into him than the usual thrown-off name.)
