:Wbwolf: I think those two items need to be discussed. I mean, I'm pretty sure there's already two or three other possible references to the shark suggested by users and annonies alike. Which would most likely mean it's TTATOT, unless there was a STRONG connection. And the Puck doesn't seem like any sort of reference. I mean, you expect a tire mascot to NOT look like a hockey puck? It's not a reference. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 20:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC) | :Wbwolf: I think those two items need to be discussed.

This, that, and a whole lot of other stuff
I realize a lot of work has been put into this page, but it seems to me that every single reference listed here is either speculation or TTATOT, and thus it would be a real stretch to say that they were specifically referencing Hanna-Barbera, intentionally or otherwise. I think every entry in the article as it stands now should be removed, and if no legitimate examples can be found, the article itself should be deleted. — It's dot com 03:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- It may be TTATOT now, but most of the things were created by Hanna-Barbera, and it's clear on some of the facts that it is intended to be a reference, mainly Scooby-Doo and the Bands of the 70's having cartoons. I say keep --~ SlipStream 03:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Someone will also need to go through these articles and check the references. Loafing 03:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll give you Scooby-Doo. That one's clear. As for the rest, I challenge all of them as legitimate references. They should all be removed from the various articles. As for this page, even Scooby-Doo is just a reference to one cartoon, not Hanna-Barbera itself. — It's dot com 04:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- I looked at all those "references" now, and while some do sound plausible (the repeating background, for example), they all sound like a stretch and aren't clear enough references. Some are outright stretches. I agree with Dot com: they should all be deleted from the respective articles except for the Scooby Doo ref. And This article should be deleted. Loafing 04:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Speaking of the repeating background, we do have a tradition of explaining the ultimate origin of some things (like Jeeves), so I don't have as big a problem with that one in the little animal article (although it should be reworded). For the purposes of this article, however, it's not an outright reference to Hanna-Barbera, and thus doesn't really count. — It's dot com 04:14, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Even if the Scooby-Doo reference is pretty certain, it is not enough for an entire page so I say delete the whole page and add the Scooby-Doo bit to a different page like a TV references page or something. --Acam30 18:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sure it's in the highschool Fun Facts section... Bluebry 19:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well then shouldn't we just delete the whole page without merging anything? --Acam30 23:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree, this looks like a valid page. keep — Defender1031*Talk 23:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Looking over the refs, the ones for high school, theme park, and Teen Girl Squad Issue 8 are already part of their respective pages. The others are TTOTAT, but that's still three references, which is the minimum required for a page. Besides, aren't there references to Huckleberry Hound elsewhere? weak keep wbwolf (t | ed) 16:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
