Mike's House and Al's Work

Two very minor locations that are neither specifically named or actually affect the episode. --Cook879 18:13, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Delete. Al works at the Power Plant anyways. >_> --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:17, 19 June 2012 (EDT)

Agreed, delete. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:57, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Delete. WebkinzMania 15:49, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Dukans Campaign H.Q.

Stupid redirect. Totally unneeded. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 13:59, 19 June 2012 (EDT)

It's a redirect, but whatever. Delete. WebkinzMania 15:49, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Delete--Cook879 14:36, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Garbageman

One sentence, no images, one appearance... WebkinzMania 15:49, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Just because the article is poor doesn't mean it should be deleted. He was voiced by a guest star so we just need to improve on the article. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:55, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Keep. Just needs a little spiffing up. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 17:03, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Keep, just a very crappy written article.--Cook879 14:36, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Martin's bike

Just not notable. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:06, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 16:51, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 16:47, 9 July 2012 (EDT)

Butler

Aside from the fact that he is a chauffeur not a butler, he is unnamed and non speaking. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 16:51, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

Delete. -- WebkinzManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 16:56, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

Category:Original songs

Delete, Category:Songs have same contest. /AleWi 13:51, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

Keep. There are enough non-parody songs and non-original songs to warrant this category. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:01, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

Keep. "That's Amore" and "Hey, Brother, Pour the Wine" are two examples of the many non-original songs in this category.--Cook879 15:49, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

First Ever Sled

Not notable, conjectural name, no impact on plot etc. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 17:19, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 16:47, 9 July 2012 (EDT)

Sunscreen

Normal product, nothing special. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:17, 6 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 21:35, 6 July 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 16:47, 9 July 2012 (EDT)

Potato Chips

Per the other generic food stuffs. -- cjc 07:23, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

Agreed. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 07:32, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 10:21, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

Mouth Wash

Generic article is generic. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:56, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

• Propose future examples are speedy deleted. -- cjc 15:05, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 21:45, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Wooly Bully, Colour My World and I Want a New Drug

All marked for deletion, due to against policy. However, I am no personally 100% behind the policy, especially with articles like this which are well written and detailed - notably these all occur "in-show" and characters hear it, and so you could argue not background music anyway.--Cook879 16:47, 9 July 2012 (EDT)

The way I interpreted that policy was that background music was music that the characters couldn't actually hear, i.e. it's playing during the scene, but not in the scene. So, therefore it would be considered "out of universe", as compared to music that the characters are physically listening to, which is "in universe". There's my two-cents, anyway. (edit) Regardless of the outcome of this, I think the policy page could be a little more "descriptive" (can't think of a better word), so that this issue doesn't come up in the future. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 20:24, 9 July 2012 (EDT)

To me, background music is music that the characters don't sing, i.e. radios etc. I therefore say delete to these articles. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 01:20, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

See music production for the six types of music on the show. To me, source and "Broadway-style" music is in-universe, whereas underscore, scourse, montages and format cues are out-universe. Anyway I think any music article is just as noticeable as the many minor articles we have.--Cook879 05:53, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

Well, this sort of thing should really be brought up elsewhere. Right now, they are against policy so should be deleted. If we want to give these songs articles, a discussion should be opened up and they can be restored if the discussion is passed. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 07:34, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

Did "I Want a New Drug" have any lyrics or was it all instrumental? Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 04:13, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

It had lyrics. It was basically playing the song accompanied with the music video. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 12:40, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

If that's the case, the lyrics need to be added into the article and it will be notable for an article, in accordance with Wikisimpsons:Notability. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:27, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

Ok, I can do that. I won't be able to get to it until sunday, though. And, not to beat a dead horse, but "Wooly Bully" and Colour My World" did also have lyrics. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 23:40, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, but those two songs weren't actually seen being played on the show, they were only heard and were not seen being played by characters but were merely songs played by the jukebox. The Solar Dragon 03:49, 14 July 2012 (EDT)

Moons Over Springfield

To me, this is not notable. It was only mentioned in Twitter and didn't we agree not to make articles on these? Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 13:44, 16 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 22:01, 17 July 2012 (EDT)

Apple Sauce

Generic product. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:03, 17 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 22:01, 17 July 2012 (EDT)

Guard dog

Unnotable character. Not named and doesn't play that big a part in the episode. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 18:10, 17 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 22:01, 17 July 2012 (EDT)

America's Most Armed and Dangerous office

Unnamed, minor location. Does not deserve an article. Only one room seen. No impact on episode. The Solar Dragon 07:27, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 11:15, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

Next Exit

Not even a real name, it means the next exit, the road is not named Next Exit. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 07:28, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 11:15, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree as well. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:27, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

Knitting grandmother

Unnamed, non-speaking character. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:48, 26 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 13:48, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

I have seen some one time characters being deleted here. I believe this place is about to provide as much info about the Simpsons as possible. I suggest to create one page dedicated to these one timers, instead of giving them their own, and delete them later. A rule would be to have an image, and a direct reference link, with in the image description. Characters like the evil grandma can just be described with in the game's page. This is just a suggestion to help with any kind of improvements.EximiusMx 04:39, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

What you are basically proposing is making an article to list each and every character in The Simpsons, even if they are unnotable. This page would not only be ridiculously long but would also have sections like "Passerby 1" to "Passerby 50" etc. There are many, many background characters in each episode and to make an article to list every single one would be impractical and just stupid. Also, I highly doubt anyone would want to see a list of all background and minor characters. The only exceptions we have to this rule are those recurring background characters from Springfield Elementary and we should not have any page listing others. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 06:46, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

Evil grandma

Unnamed, non-speaking character. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 06:45, 27 July 2012 (EDT)

Doesn't she say something like "come give Grandma a kiss"? I thought she talked. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 13:48, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Karl's Apartment

Unnamed, minor location. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:02, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

The info about this apartment could be included in Karl's page. Lets say, a way to describe the place he lives, or his life style. The page as it's own doesn't work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EximiusMx (talk • contribs) 04:39, 2 August 2012

--Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Ungrateful grandson

Unnamed, non-speaking character. Minor. No emphasis placed on him. etc. The Solar Dragon 14:07, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Nachos

Generic foodstuffs. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:44, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 17:55, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Giant spider

Unnamed, non-speaking character that doesn't play an important role. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:05, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

Once again, instead of having it's own page, there could be a page just related to creatures. We know there are many with in the universe. Just single pages don't seem appropriate for something with little description.EximiusMx 04:39, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Grilled Cheese owner

Unnamed, non-speaking character. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:25, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Square One

Quests should not be notable enough for their own articles. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:37, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

But it is a nice detailed article. --Cook879 15:50, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

If we have one quest article, we have to have them all. It just isn't notable and it only needs a mention on the quests page. It's not like these quests need walkthroughs either. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 15:53, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

I was only going to create "Square One", the first quest, anyway. I wasn't going to create all the other quest category articles. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:40, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

What I'm saying is that if we have one quest article, we have to have them all. We can't just have one. The Solar Dragon 06:17, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

Creepy family's house

Doesn't play a major part, nor is it named. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 16:23, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Agree --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 17:03, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Black and white dog

Unimportant character, only a few seconds of time on screen. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:34, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 18:46, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

--Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:53, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

Angry Nerds

Not a game at all, was a one time thing/pun that was only used for that once. Article will always be a stub and it is just not notable. The Solar Dragon 15:45, 19 August 2012 (EDT)

Delete: It was just a joke. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 23:06, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
