Somewhat of another Brian Peppers-like article. Violates WP:BLP quite severely and permanently. Article is unreferenced, the only source(s) cited are actually summaries of the radio show he "appears on". Also, there is the real possibility of failing WP:BIO. Let's not have Jimbo delete this one. MER-C 11:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If any of it is verifiable using reliable sources, merge into The Wack Pack article. Otherwise, delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree completely, lets get this deleted ASAP Oskar 13:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see no factual errors in the article, though the language could be cleaned up, especially the use of n****r term third paragraph in.

DO NOT DELETE. No factual errors, and the article utilizes primary source show summaries. There are no better citations that could possibly exist. This subject is topical and relevant and should remain as a stand alone entry.

    • If "There are no better citations that could possibly exist", this will probably be deleted until citations are found (if ever). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • keepI think it fits:

A large fan base, fan listing, or "cult" following.

His fansites, myspace page, and SFN Forum back this one up. Additionally fans have made cartoons staring him, and songs using his dialouge. I think these qualify as a cult following. -Hoponpop69 00:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - For notability, subject has a large fan base, fansites, and multiple works created around subject. As for WP:BLP, and reliable sources, suggest stubbing article back to introduction, and possibly keeping own show section, since neither of those sections appear to be contentious. Then protect page until exhaustive search can be performed to cite any contentious material including wackipedia(sic) and balloons sections and attempt to reach consensus if possible. If that fails then merge what is left back into The Wack Pack. Merging into wack pack now may cause problems since wack pack article currently poorly sourced as well.(Optigan13 04:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
  • Keep - I think Optigan13 said it best. SLATE 06:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep - Agreed
