National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes[edit]
A joke from a single episode of South Park. Indrian 04:16, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this jokecruft. Individual South Park episodes don't generally have their own articles, and nobody would search for this, so there's really nowhere to redirect this article. Szyslak 07:11, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, unhelpful cruft, potentially misleading. Wyss 07:13, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this article. It is a silly joke. - Preaky.
- Well, lots of people watch South Park, so I think articles on individual episodes are fine. Unfortunately, as we have seen with Simpsons episodes, people have a tendency to create articles on jokes within the episodes and not on the episodes themselves. Perhaps the problem is that most people don't know the episode titles. It seems to me, though, that if we just left all these "joke" articles in place, eventually a dedicated editor (or several) would come through and do the necessary moving and rewriting to make them proper episode articles. So I say keep. Everyking 13:21, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- It seems to me that if someone has a mind to make a proper article on an episode of the show, they will do so whether this article is here or not. Keeping an inappropriate article (which I believe you see this one as looking at your above statement) in the hopes that someone will move it someplace else and expand it into an appropriate article strikes me as rather silly justification for keeping an article.

- Not really. I just don't want to lose the content. Everyking 23:58, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. "proper episode articles" -- now there's a concept. --BM 13:49, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, un-encyclopaedic, trivial. Megan1967 01:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, the group has been referenced many other places following the South Park episode. It "formed" through several sites around the web. -Bill
