Talk:Crimping (singing)

how is this notable enough for it's own wiki article? it's exclusive to one show and it's fandom, and could get all the explanation it needs in one line of the main 'Mighty Boosh' article. given some of the stuff that gets removed from wiki as 'not notable', the presence of stuff like this is just baffling. i'll let someone else fix it mind, i'm fed up fighting the Boosh fans who repeatedly re-added an award created by their own management for the specific purpose of hyping the Boosh.
 * hahah, i've seen waaaaaay more "unotable" things in wikipedia. Look at the madness in Star Wars articles for example --Leladax 20:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * here here, just because u seem to not to like mighty boosh dosn't mean the article is not notable, alot of people dont like alot of shows that are written about on wikipedia but they dont go round demanding that their subcategories are deleted --Jkneon 02:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * surely this should just be a part of the mighty boosh article? especially as it doesn't exist outside of the mighty boosh.  oh and i am a massive fan of the program, i just don't think crimping needs its own article until it exists significantly outside of the boosh.

 * can you explain why other franchises should have separate articles and not this? --Leladax 15:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * that isn't a valid argument as far as wikipedia is concerned. there is no reason for this article to exist seperately. crimping is inseperable from the mighty boosh. notice how all the 'notable crimps' are from the mighty boosh? because it doesn't exist anywhere else.  wikipedia is not a mighty boosh fan site.  go start a forum for that stuff.

Is this similar to the song that was sung in the movie "Big" starring Tom Hanks, where the two main friends would sing a song with eachother? (I said Triscuit, A TRISCUIT! She said a biscuit, A BISCUIT!  Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top...)  Does this belong within this current discussion? Donut1005 (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It does sound a bit like crimping it but i'd have to see the movie....anyway...i believe this does deserve its own article because of the amount of people now doing it...I was walking down a street and there were kids..crimping...i was amazed but it could start becoming something quite common...the Boosh may have started something which may spread beyond the Boosh genre --Bailo26 8:45, 5 December 2007 (GMT)

support the proposition to merge. Apart from a small paragraph that could easily be merged into the Mighty Boosh article there's noting notable on this page. the "notable crimps" section should be wikiquote and the "notable crimpers" section is completely unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agent452 (talk • contribs) 03:03, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I say merge - and I'm a Mighty Boosh fan. I agree, there are a lot of other articles on Wikipedia of a similar level of importance, and I'd argue that they should be merged with their respective "parent" articles as well. The suggestion that crimping has a presence outside of the Boosh would probably tip the balance towards notability, but Wikipedia would require some evidence of this presence. The crimps listed don't have a place here (not to mention the fact that they feature some appalling spelling) and is there really any point in the "notable crimpers" section, given that they're all fictional?

 * So it would seem that the result is to merge. Shall I take care of it? Agent452 (talk) 15:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
