User talk:Themightytruk/SPOON

I love this page--completely and totally.--Hardvice (talk) 12:38, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

• Not a fan of it. I dont find their occurence in the show to be notable in the least. Rather this be a user subpage. (Admin 12:41, 20 October 2007 (EDT))
  • I agree with Admin. I don't see Spoons as something worthy of pointing out, any more than plates (I can think of a dozen more uses where plates are used) or any other kitchen utensil for that matter are. I actually thought this was going to be a parody.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:47, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
    • This is stupid. --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 12:50, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
      • Any more so than these pages?--Bob (talk) 12:54, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
        • Do we have a Parody template?--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:58, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
        • Bob, those pages are Theory pages. They have different criteria for inclusion and are by their very nature lower quality than most of the other articles here. The best comparison is to Waffles which, while I wouldn't mourn if it were ever gone, does show a number of more conspicuous references to a less commonplace item. With the exception of demonstrating Bob's ability they've never directly mentioned or focused on a spoon. Like Lost Soul said, why point it out over say plates? (Admin 13:00, 20 October 2007 (EDT))
          • Plus, Waffles are actually directly mentioned by two characters in the show - Sandra and Hiro. Spoons are not. Their only relevance seems to be with Bob's power, and as we already have a page for that, I don't see this article is neccessary.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  13:04, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
          • The thing is--would we even notice waffles if there wasn't an article? I know every time I get excited when waffles are mentioned on the show, my partner looks at me like I'm an idiot. As far as he's concerned, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about waffles, either. Now you can bet the next time a spoon shows up, I'll be sure to notice it. Do we need an article to track spoons (or waffles) throughout the show? No, probably not. Does it hurt anything? No more than any of the other reference articles--which, as we've previously noted, are not necessarily conscious/intentional references, but are references that can be identified and tracked nonetheless.--Hardvice (talk) 13:18, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
          • Not disagreeing, and you're correct. My point was that we have obsurd pages regardless. Personally, I could go either way with keeping it or scrapping it. As long as it's a reference (like it is now), then I don't have a problem.--Bob (talk) 13:23, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

Template

• Like Waffles this article should probably use Template:Infobox reference. (Admin 12:39, 20 October 2007 (EDT))
  • Agreed.--Bob (talk) 12:42, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
