 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine.  This is a humorous political statement; but, does not fall within the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.  ERcheck 05:42, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. --Merovingian 05:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete Why is there a Wikipedia entry for the fictional character Jean Luc Picard and a link at the bottom to the www.startrek.com website? Why is that allowed, but an entry for the fictional characters 'star and stripe' with a link to their site is not allowed? It's the same exact situation. --Wiki046 05:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The differences are: (1) Jean-Luc Picard is a fictional character from a long-running television series and several major movies, who was seen by millions of people, while Star and stripe are fictional characters from a web comic that apparently just started this month. (2) The article Jean-Luc Picard clearly identifies the character as fictional in the first sentence, while Star and stripe portrays the fictional events in the comic strip as factual information albeit of the kind nobody would take literally. (Problem #2 can be fixed easily, but problem #1 can't. See WP:WEB for proposed criteria that would determine whether the comic Star and Stripe would be notable enough for a Wikipedia article.) --Metropolitan90 07:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Understood. Star and stripe don't want to stay where they aren't wanted. They will continue to travel the world and gather support, and will return to Wikiland, with their friend Alexa, when they are much more famous and popular. --Wiki046 06:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
