Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki

One of the last meeting's topics was "Articles for places only scenes on maps and not mentioned". After a brief discussion, we decided to bring it to a discussion. So yeah, discuss away!--Cook879 10:30, 10 November 2012 (EST)

Meeting discussion[edit]

21:14:30 - AleWi: next topic - Articles for places only scenes on maps and not mentioned
21:14:53 - AleWi: Some articles is about places only seeing on maps, I think we can remove it
21:15:10 - AleWi: They most mentioned with speak or a scene is there
21:15:47 - Phinbart: There should be a list of locations in Springfield, even though there is a huge category for them. And there should be a section on that page where it lists mentioned locations and locations only on maps.
21:15:48 - AleWi: *It's should be mentioned with a line or a scene is there
21:16:21 - Solar_Dragon: Yes! Delete articles about locations only seen on maps or on signs!
21:16:37 - Solar_Dragon: As well as delete character articles only seen in text.
21:16:40 - Solar_Dragon: :|
21:16:55 - AleWi: not the second Solar
21:17:06 - Solar_Dragon: You all know how I feel about those kinds of articles
21:18:34 - Cook879: I think we should move them topics to a more open discussion forum - as I think Nick and Fred will want to get involved in this discussion
21:20:44 - AleWi: open discussion? yes then

Discussion[edit]

  1. I believe we should have them. They are like "name seen" characters. Why are we have this discussion. Every thing to do with The Simpsons. --Fred (Talk Contribs. Editcount) 06:59, 13 November 2012 (EST)
  2. Support removal - may be a few exceptions, but nothing not handled by some UCS. Cjcsdonut.png -- cjc 16:31, 18 November 2012 (EST)
  3. Remove. See my blog post for reasons why I support. Solar Dragon (Talk Contribs.) 17:40, 18 November 2012 (EST)
  4. Remove, in accordance with the same standards that Solar is putting forth regarding articles for characters who are only mentioned. By that standard, the Terror Lake article would be a keeper, but the articles for Cape Fear, Screamville and New Horrorfield would be deleted and the information presently on them would be consolidated onto the References tab for the episode ("Cape Feare") in which they're mentioned. -- Mythigator 01:19, 26 November 2012 (EST)
