Conservapedia talk:AFD Homer Simpson

No intellectual content I'd go careful with that. You might end up having to AFD many other articles too. WhatIsG0ing0n 10:07, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Since when do encyclopedias only contain "intellectual content"? By definition an encyclopedia contains information on as much as possible --Pacman 10:11, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

That's not accurate. An encyclopedia contains information that is within a definable scope. The definition of that scope is the sole prerogative of its senior editors.

Wikipedia might want to do a page on every silly TV show that has ever released. But at Conservapedia, we have the right to be a tad more selective.

Show me that The Simpsons will be a TV classic, and define for me how you would judge a classic as worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, and I'll reconsider.--TerryH^Talk 12:04, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Can you name another television entertainment show that has been on for 18 seasons? Sterile 12:27, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Don't know about seasons, but Dr Who currently stands at over 700 episodes... Tsumetai 12:29, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I don't think that there's any real question that The Simpsons is (for better or worse) an iconic American television show, and probably deserves an article of its own, but this particular article is just plain dumb. Perhaps redirect it to a "Simpsons" article?--WJThomas 12:55, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
