Cultural references and innuendo in Rocko's Modern Life
This is entirely original research including lots of claims of "possible" references. A typical example of something that is listed there is "The rainbow is a sign of homosexuality, and alludes to the ambiguity of Rocko's sexuality." This article is uncited, unverifiable original research thats far more appropriate to a Geocities page than Wikipedia. Clearly delete. Wickethewok 16:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOR. &mdash;Hanuman Das 17:28, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Cultural references can sometimes make good articles if they are clear and sourced, but this is too speculative and too close to original research. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:OR, and a few of these entries puzzle me: "There is a gory sequence featuring a man having his arms torn off by an exercise machine." Is that a reference or innuendo? GassyGuy 17:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all. Artw 18:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per the ridiculousness of discussing the sexuality of Nicktoons. Oh, and WP:OR and all that bad stuff too. Danny Lilithborne 20:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:OR, crufty. -- Kinu t /c  20:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Gogo Dodo 00:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment it should be noted that User:Rlk89 has removed the afd tag from the article. --Jersey Devil 01:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The article has now been rewritten and moved to a new location, which is a big AfD no no. It's completely different. And while it's better, it's not, in my opinion, a good stand alone article topic. It should be covered entirely in the main Rocko's Modern Life article. So, if we vote on the old content, I stand by delete. The new content should be merged. None of it should remain in its own article. And User:Rlk89 needs somebody with experience to explain proper process. GassyGuy 03:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Ridiculous. You are not prohibited from editing or moving articles on AFD, but it would be better without the double redirects...Kotepho 00:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Obviously editing articles is fine, but I thought moves were supposed to occur after the fact. My mistake if not. GassyGuy 03:06, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I've conversed with him in his talk page. I don't know, I tried best to explain why what he did was wrong but he thinks he did nothing wrong even with the two removal of the afd tags.--Jersey Devil 03:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Note - Still no information has been sourced. And the content of the article is still of dubious nature.  The content of this article is still going to be "stuff that some Wikipedia editors consider to be sexual innuendo", rather than having any reliable sources.  I would go as far as to suggest that the intended content of this article is indeed unverifiable as I don't think there would be any reliable sources containing this information.

 * Comment Good point. Lord knows what would start appearing if "I sat there and took notes while watching the episode" counted as a reliable source. GassyGuy 09:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment the page history is entirely new meaning that this page was just created and the title "Cultural references and innuendo in Rocko's Modern Life" redirected here. --Jersey Devil 03:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, original research, unverifiable with reliable sources. A lot of this is simply ridiculous. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 08:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
