Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sigh. As much as i *love* the captain Underpants saga, one must admit that it fails WP:NB in many ways. The article consists of nothing but plot summaries and character listings and stuff, nothing past that. Not a bestseller, *obviously* not the subject of instruction at major schools, poorly unreferenced, not mentioned by other third party sources, just a silly childrens book. But other than a delete, we can afford a redirect to Captain Underpants. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 08:19, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect Despite this being required reading I think at Stanford University for undergrads (I'm pretty sure I heard it from a recent graduate, or noticed it in their writing style), this title would probably be better served hanging out with it's cohort's at Captain Underpants page. Not as interesting a read as String Theory and Gravimetry, but still entertaining nonetheless. Яεñ99 (talk) 08:29, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Huh???? Required reading? Not as interesting as String Theory and Gravimetry??? Come again? Bonkers The Clown (talk) 08:43, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol I guess it depends on who is reading it!  Regardless of the fun to be had in the discussion, I think you are on target with your suggestions Bonkers! Яεñ99 (talk) 08:49, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Im sorry, but i don't quite understand. Graduates are required to read captain underpants??? Bonkers The Clown (talk) 10:42, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol x2 Bonkers :) The Captain series may have been difficult reading for the attendee I infer from there...hehe.  Putting it on the recommended list would probably have helped their humor and vernacular though!  I ain't being too literal on the actuals here Bonkers, life has to have a little fun in it :) Яεñ99 (talk) 12:00, 29 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Captain Underpants. This series is notable, but this entry doesn't have enough sources focusing on it individually and in-depth enough to merit it passing notability guidelines per it having notability outside of that for the series as a whole. I found two sources, but neither are enough to warrant keeping the article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 16:02, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Same discussion as Captain Underpants and the Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People. This is part of a notable series and it thus inherits notability because the content is too long to merge into the series article. Our job at Wikipedia is to preserve content when possible. This should not be deleted simply because merging it would make an article too long. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 01:13, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
