  • 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.
 

Diddly dee?

I question the noteworthiness of this page. I removed bike thief, which we have transcribed as Ponch so I don't it really think belongs here. Of the three usages that remain, two of them aren't really unusual. Hitting someone in the paunch uses the word in it's exact literal meaning, and Paunchberry ice cream essentially does too, though admittedly in a odd way (it could be read like "Potbelly-berry" ice cream, the joke would be the same). That leaves East and West Paunch as the only usages that don't really correlate to the dictionary definition of the word, which doesn't seem remarkable to me. 98.222.134.36 15:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Paunch is indeed a real word and is used correctly in Strong Badia the Free. Paunchberry, on the other hand is still a little strange, but that still only two uses; not quite enough to constitute a running gag. wbwolf (t | ed) 15:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh come on juys, if the Chapmans didn't want to make this a gag they would have said "gut" all those times. And how does it make any more sense that he said "Ponch" and not "Paunch" in bike thief? I think that is a reference. --Jellote 18:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
This article reminds me of Pining, another uncommon word used by Strong Bad very infrequently. Two years ago, we discussed the relative merits of that article and decided that we might as well keep it. So why not Paunch as well? There are three appearances of this wierd word (as of this post), two of which are used in unusual contextes. In fact, I feel that Paunch is even more worthy of its own article than Pining ever was. Keep. – The Chort 18:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
