The Gift of Gum


I came across this in CSD and prodded it, but prod was contested. CSD/Prod reason was Not real, fan fiction, no sources. I've no knowledge of SpongeBob episodes and am not sure this is a hoax, bringing it here for review. Kimchi.sg 15:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOT a crystal ball.  yandman  15:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. and Yandman. One of those "your guess is as good as mine" non-articles. --Folantin 15:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete: crystal-balling is not permitted, nor is an article that is obviously complete bollocks. Moreschi 18:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 *  Delete Entirely ambivalent - I await the article for The Gift of Bollocks where it is theorised that Sponge Bob finds a load of shit under a crab and doesn't know where to put it... apart from on here. :) Bubba hotep 22:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Someone added a source proving that this episode is real in List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes. The source is an article on The Best Day Ever. Squirepants101 16:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Per link. &#39;&#39;&#91;&#91;User:Kitia&#124;Kitia]] 16:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That still doesn't get away from the fact that the article doesn't seem to stipulate what the episode is about. As Yandman said: WP:NOT a crystal ball, and if it hasn't aired yet, any speculation would be OR. Bubba hotep 19:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

K-E-E-P Once again people are deleting articles that turn out to be real, Like Best Day Ever, The Pink Purlonier, Squidwood, Best Frenemies, Rule of Dumb, and Driven to Tears.Chikinpotato11 16:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC) Retain If there is an episode description on a Nickelodeon(r) website, then it must exist.

 * ARE YOU GUYS BLIND?!?! there is a source on the episode page. look--Chikinpotato11 03:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - my comments above were based on this version. It appears to have transformed into a proper article since, therefore I have changed my opinion to not bothered either way. unwatching page Bubba hotep 20:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep -- after my experience with the deletion of Best Day Ever, I think it would be pointless to delete this. In that case, the article was deleted because it had no content and was about a future episode.  Even there, it was constantly recreated but the whole thing was moot anyway because the episode aired relatively soon afterwards and then things changed.  Here, those arguments don't even apply, and we have a clear source, some actual info, and the article would be recreated in a few weeks even if it is deleted, so there's not much point.
