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.
 

Hitchhikers guide repeat?

I don't think this is any more notable than the hitchhikers guide page was. — Defender1031*Talk 13:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I can understand that sentiment. But I kinda feel about this the way you did about Pi. 42 occurs at least 3 times (maybe more, I didn't check), so it stands to reason that they purposely picked it in these instances (whether in reverence to HHG or not). cf also 1982 & 1974. -128.103.10.17 14:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Three instances with no connection is a lot more shaky than the pi gag, which is clearly intentional. — Defender1031*Talk 14:37, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
But 3 appears at least 42 times (maybe less, there's no need to check), so does that mean we need articles on the number three, as well as every other number that's ever appeared on Homestar Runner? Pi gets an article because it's a very special number. 42, however, is no more special than 69 (the number that Ted "Theodore" Logan was thinking of). To be honest, this page is almost identical to the Hitchhikers page, albeit from a different point of view, and should really be deleted as well. – The Chort 17:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
