I'm not sure that we really need this page. It's probably better that we just put a note in the bottom of the Sullivan Bros. Carnival page. Something along the lines of "Sullivan Bros. Carnival shares several characteristics with a Brigadoon, a shanty town which travels from place to place by supernatural means." possibly with a link to a wikipedia article, if it has one. What do you think? I'll add the afd tag. --mc_hammark 04:51, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- That is probably better. Now, we might need this page if we found out that it did travel through its own means, but that's unlikely now. --Boycool Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Amen. 07:46, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- Agree, this page is a bit of a reference page, which is unneeded if the carnival is the only reference. --Radicell 08:02, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- Kill it. It isn't proven that the carnival is a brigadoon, and if we're merely going to say that it might be, a wikipedia link is all we need.--PJDEP - Talk - Polls and Opinions 15:19, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- I agree, I don't see the need for this page. If it's confirmed that the show is actually referencing brigadoons or the show Brigadoon, then we could add the page. I don't even think there needs to be a note on the carnival page unless we are sure of the reference. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:10, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
Ignorance on words here, maybe?
The word is brigadoon, not Brigadoon, the reference to the musical is purely incidental. Surely if something walks like a duck, acts like a duck and talks like a duck it is a duck!
