Anti-Barney humor
Too POV. 68.91.113.88
 * Keep, POV is not a criteria for deletion, it's a criteria for editing. - C HAIRBOY (☎) 16:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Right now, the page is junk, and cannot help but being junk.  --Nlu 16:35, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up. A bit bloated and some unencyclopaedic language, but hardly irredeemable. It's hard to say where the POV is as well. Every kid's show has anti movements, but Barney's must surely be the biggest. --Last Malthusian 16:42, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: It is not the function of an encyclopedia to merely reiterate, but rather to explain. Thus, it is not encyclopedic to say, "Anti-Barney humor: here are some Barney jokes."  Instead, it would be "anti-Barney humor originated as early as the first year of "Barney and Friends" and continued into such films as "Death to Smoochie" and others."  This is the former.  Well, explaining that there is anti-"Barney and Friends" humor is self-evident.  Are there references to the concept elsewhere?  Are there things that need to be explained?

 * Keep I don’t see any NPOV problems and even if every lyric and list was removed it would still be sizable. Seano1 22:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think that meant to say "too POV". --Ixfd64 00:05, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, notable phenomenon, no reason readers shouldn't be able to find out about it. Kappa 13:14, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Make it a little more cohesive, make it so it's not so much as a dumping ground for more Barney songs.--Toquinha 06:24, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I am a bit biased about this I will admit (I am the articles father), but one thing I can't denie any longer is that it does need cleanup, but it is a true pop-culture phenomina, which probably isn't apparent to people who didn't go to elementary school in the 90's like I and many other people involved in the movement did.
