Hello Sparklism
Thank you for the information you provided. I can see where you are coming from with your "Non-encyclopedic content" comment, but this JBO page is a genuine celebration, held annually by a group of people. You could think of it as similar to any other celebration listed on Wiki. I realise the scale is small, but nevertheless it was a celebration inspired by the medium of television. Should there be some reference required to improve the validity of the page then I will be glad to insert any such reference(s). I would imagine that as the number of times celebrated increases the validity of such and entry would increase?

I'm happy to leave this well alone, but feel this is a shame for those concerned with JBO. I know from recent contact with them that they were looking forward to adding to this page and expanding its content over time. Possibly with the hope of inspiring other Alumni to follow in the same or similar traditions.

Anyway, I'll leave it with you.

 * Dude, it sure sounds like a lot of fun, but it's not really suitable for an encyclopedia. You might want to read WP:MADEUP, or WP:NOT. I hope this helps, happy editing! sparkl!sm hey! 14:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
