Mike's House and Al's Work

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)

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)} 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)

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

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)

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)

We have articles for the two members but if the actual band was not credited, the page should go. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 09:28, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

No credit, no connection = no article. Though they wrote the song together and for their band there would be no mention of the band itself on the song's copyright information, so they fail the connection as well.--Cook879 18:24, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Albert King

He has no actual credit, and has no relation to the version The Simpsons did.--Cook879 13:21, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Mrs. Claus

Homer was referring to Marge as Mrs. Claus, which is obvious by the speech and history. He was referring to Patty and Selma by the sisters. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:14, 8 November 2012 (EST)

She is mentioned "for real" in the comic story Springfield's Letters to Santa, so the Roasting on an Open Fire reference could just be replaced with the comic one. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 23:11, 8 November 2012 (EST)

He's just mentioned in passing in one line of one episode. Doesn't seem epescially notable to me. The Klinger line certainly deserves a mention in the episode's References tab, but a character article? I don't think so. -- Mythigator 20:49, 11 November 2012 (EST)

Same reason as Klinger and Mary Lou. There's no in-universe information about him except the one in-passing mention. A Wikipedia link (most likely just to Welcome Back, Kotter) would be fine; there's no need for him to have his own article here. -- Mythigator 03:57, 20 November 2012 (EST)

Klinger, Horshack and Mary Lou

Considering the outcome of our recent discussion about the notability policy, I'm willing to back off on these three deletion proposals. I think that in order to give these articles a little more notability, it would be worth adding a real-life tidbit or two (most likely under "Behind the Laughter") to explain why they're notable or famous (similar to the J. P. Patches article). At least we'll end up with articles that aren't quite so "stubbish". I'm willing to take on the job of fleshing out this particular trio of articles, and any similar ones I notice. Is that OK by everyone? -- Mythigator 08:55, 30 November 2012 (EST)

I'm totally fine with it. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:37, 30 November 2012 (EST)

Go for it. I've been trying to flesh out where I can, like I've done today with Cat Stevens and Prince Olaf of Norway.--Cook879 12:54, 2 December 2012 (EST)

Done for those three. They do look better now, as do some other related articles. -- Mythigator 09:52, 5 December 2012 (EST)

I just don't think that this is notable enough for an article. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:29, 27 November 2012 (EST)
