Traveling in The Simpsons
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

It survived an afd a couple months ago and it was pretty much only the result of a trainwreck group of noms. It's pure 100% listcruft, with no sources whatsoever. It clearly fails the notability guidelines as no reason as to why The Simpsons traveling to a certain place is notable. Scorpion0422 00:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Watch the first time episode simpson people come and somehow try and bend the rules so this can be kept ForeverDEAD 00:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I voted keep in that AFD, so you really should avoid generalising all Simpsons fans as fanboys. -- Scorpion0422 02:06, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research. No evidence is given as to how a cartoon family traveling places is notable in the real world. This sort of thing is appropriate for a fansite, not Wikipedia. Nick Graves 01:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, an interesting page but not right for wikipedia. I am sure that this could exist on some fan site but not here.  Fails WP:NOT meshach 02:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom - this is a pointless list. I'm not sure how it even passed AfD the first time... Terraxos 03:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete As original research. I doubt there are reliable sources that discuss places the family travel to. Spellcast 06:06, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Total listcruf, absolutely no reason to have this in an encyclopedia  C t j f 8 3  07:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just list cruft, barely anything interesting. Gran2 07:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Cruft of the most useless material. It is also stated that it is a theme... travel is not a theme of the Simpsons! It is a method which the producers use to show things a fictional family cannot do in their own fictional town. No notability at all. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR  08:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The episodes themselves give enough information and total listcruft. Martin B 09:18, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete For the same reason as Nick Graves has given. Leaderofearth 09:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as hopeless listcruft Will (talk) 13:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. --Maitch 15:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:N and I generally don't see the point of the list.  It could be considered an indiscriminate collection of information.  Tbo 157   (talk)    (review)  15:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above Rufous-crowned Sparrow 16:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Trombonator. --Metropolitan90 17:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Majoreditor 02:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and suggest WP:SNOW - as I said the last time, "There is no real-world notability for the topic of 'places the Simpsons have travelled.' Yes, the Simpsons are iconic and we love them so, but that doesn't that every. single. detail. of them requires an article." Otto4711 02:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That's the thing, The Simpsons traveling to various places actually IS quite notable, and most of the big "travel episodes" generated a lot of headlines and controversy in the nation where the family visited. For example, the episode "The Bart Wants What It Wants" generated headlines because the last act is spent in Canada. Other episodes like "Blame it on Lisa" were quite controversial and inspired many future jokes. If somebody were willing to get the sources, there COULD be a good page about the topic, but this page is just pure cruft. -- Scorpion0422 17:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft, and not even sourced listcruft at that Bjewiki 23:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No delete. Notable as an element of popular culture. Verifiable from broadcast records. No need to delete. Ekotekk 17:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doesn't seem like a necessary article at all.  ✗iℎi✗  (talk) 02:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
