Talk:Strong Sad's Death
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Overlap
Hm—this'll overlap somewhat with Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad. Perhaps something should be worked out between the two pages? —AbdiViklas 20:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- I thought of that. The main problem with Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad is that it only refers to Strong Bad vs. his brother, but it doesn't take into account cases where other characters (particularly Coach Z) believe Strong Sad to be dead. It was mainly because of Coach Z's comment in impression that I decided this was a separate running gag. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- How about a link on both pages? — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 07:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Done. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge?
This page have content, but merging it with Death will do better to both articles. This will abolish the "See Also" section. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 20:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Merging them is probably the best thing to do. I don't see why not. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 20:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not entirely sure; this page contains a lot of things that simply mention or obliquely allude to SS's death (e.g. "It's as if SS were alive and w/ us today!"); they'd be a little to insubstantial for Death. —AbdiViklas 20:19, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- I was thinking about a full section there, seeing he is the character with the most mentions of death. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 20:23, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Edit conflict: I think we're talking about separate things in each article, though I suppose if you made Strong Sad's Death a separate section of the main Death page, it would work. Reason being that the Death article talks about characters who actually die or have death-like effects and experiences, vs. Strong Sad, who in each case is NOT dead (and often vehemently denies being dead). Similar ideas, but different overall effects. If you do merge the articles, I'd suggest renaming this section to "Strong Sad's Supposed Death" or something similar. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- EDIT CONFLICT: And this is from the Death page: "In Where's The Cheat?, Strong Bad calls Marzipan and pretends to be Homestar Runner, and he tells her that he shot and killed Pom Pom." Which allude to Pom Pom's untimely departure. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 20:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- After conflict: I have no problem with that idea. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 20:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Done and done. Articles merged, redirect happening from this one to Death, and everyone should be happy. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 01:25, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Scope
I agree with the invisocomment that Defender made about the page, but since it's confusing, I'm wondering why it must be inviso. In other words, the intro states the scope, but I think it should go even further to make that scope explicit. Also, I think the name could use a tweak. In fact, didn't this article used to be "SS's Imagined Death" or something like that? -128.103.10.135 00:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
