Revision as of 18:07, May 23, 2012

Pages for deletion (PfD) is where editors discuss whether a page should be deleted. Articles listed are normally discussed for at least five days after which the deletion process proceeds based on community consensus. Then the page may be kept, merged or redirected, moved to another title or deleted.

Creating an PfD discussion

If you want to create a deletion discussion simply list in the nominations section:

Nominations

Unnamed Simpson family relative

She is seen for a few seconds and is quite hard to make out. We don't even know if it's Marge's relative or not. Why says it was actually a person? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 16:11, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

Agreed. WebkinzMania 16:11, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

Agreed. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:36, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 19:45, 12 May 2012 (EDT)

Bart's dolphin

Do we really need this article? The dolphin is never even seen and is only the butt of one joke, never to be mentioned again. It just seems kind of pointless to me. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:24, 14 May 2012 (EDT)

Useless. Delete. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 01:39, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Agree, delete. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 02:32, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 11:47, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Costume designer

Unnamed minor non-speaking character. No impact on episode at all. Just a background filler character. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 02:32, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Keep - she recently walked passed Chaz Buzzby. Clearly notable No, but seriously, delete. -- cjc 04:49, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Agree, Delete --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:43, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 11:47, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Chazz Busby's assistant (1) and Chazz Busby's assistant (2)

Unnamed minor characters. May have been on screen for longer that the costume designer but still didn't speak. Not notable. The Solar Dragon 07:39, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Agree, although he does at least acknowledge their existence. But they still don't talk or anything, so delete. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:45, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

--Cook879 11:47, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Merge. They are not notable to have separate articles, but I think one would be fine. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:02, 15 May 2012 (EDT)

Asda

Do we need to list everywhere that sells Simpsons merchandise.... -- cjc 07:56, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

I think it was created to mention this.--Cook879 08:19, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

Selma's ex-fiancee

No way to link or improve this page. We need better images, voice actor information etc. WebkinzMania 09:00, 20 May 2012 (EDT)

Agreed. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:24, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

XXX

For the same reasons I took it off the appearances pgae. The "XXX" is not denoting a type of alcohol, it is only denoting the strength of the alcohol. Even if it was a type of alcohol, we shouldn't be making pages for types of food. We should only be making pages for brands of food. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:22, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Agreed. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 09:24, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

XXX appears quite a lot in the series; we should have a list of its appearances. And if that's only the strength, what should we call it? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:25, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Urm... Moonshine... The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:30, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

It's just a jug with XXX written on the side. We don't need a list of everything. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:57, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Bourbon, Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard, Milk, Gin, Scotch, Peanut Butter, Vodka, Old Whisky, Soy Sauce, Lunch Meat

Again, all these articles are incredibly generic and I think we should really only be making pages for brands of food/drink not types. Unless the food in question is important to the show or stands out for whatever reason. I may be missing some. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:52, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Agreed to all of these. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 10:08, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

I think we should keep Bourbon, but the rest delete. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:29, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

But I really really wanted to know all the appearances of Ketchup! Why do these exist in the first place?? -- cjc 10:47, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Sure. Maybe we can merge them possibly. But yes to delete. WebkinzMania 14:47, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Money down the drain. Why delete them? They are Simpson universe products. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 05:23, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

They're every universe products. They just aren't notable (special) enough. It'd be like making a page for tomato, or potato, etc. If they were a specific brand, then I'd say keep them, but they're not. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:31, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

If we are to have a page on something just because it exists in the Simpsons universe, then the Notability guidelines wouldn't need to be anything more than just "Been on the Simpsons". -- cjc 10:13, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

If we keep these pages, there's nothing to stop people making pages for chairs, bottles, fridges etc. They should be deleted. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:23, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

Pages for each individual chair (Simpsons kitchen chair 1?) or just the concept of chairs? Because, I think people would really be interested to know that the Simpsons have chairs. Just like they are interested in milk and lunch meat. -- cjc 13:02, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

I just think we should keep Bourbon. The rest are just useless. Also, cjc, I agree to your suggestion to create chair articles. They would be really detailed and have loads of images! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 13:21, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

Why Bourbon? It's just like all these other articles: completely unremarkable and generic. (I just noticed that Solar was the one who made that article. :P) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:07, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
