Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Bonus Stage

Like I said: for those of you who want the article gone, I know a site that has a copy of Bonus Stage info. I'm so not telling you! So, you lose. Just give it up, already. It's like I always say, there's no need to be a moron.

I honestly can't see why this page was deleted. "Pokemon" arguments aside, there's plenty of reason to consider Bonus Stage notable. It DOES have a large cult following. The article for it was far from a stub--it offered a lot of info on a long-running, relatively well-known webtoon. And as others have mentioned, it once had a large, highly active wiki. Even after reading WP:WEB, I see no reason for it to be considered non-notable. ~ S h  i  p  p  i  n  a  t  o  r  M  a  n  d  y  (For best results, use twice daily.)

Here's my biggest problem with this: This is rather widely known for a web animation. It never got a "major" website to note it. Why? Because it's a web animation. Two of the only web animations I've ever heard of that actually has much of any coverage are homestarrunner.com and the toons by Weebl, and then there's not much coverage outside of forums and webtoon sites. Web animations don't get coverage because the only way they get around is through word of mouth and "word of text", they don't contribute much at all to commercial and physical presence, and they wouldn't seem to make for good newspaper articles, either. I find the notability criteria flawed when it comes to things such as this. Not that I care about Bonus Stage itself, but it doesn't seem correct for this to have been deleted. Unfortunately, now that there's no more wiki, I'm not quite sure how it could be rebuilt without "original research."

You know what? Screw you people who think the article is bad. I'm going to welcome people to edit a Bonus Stage article, placed on MY PAGE. (You'll see what I mean when it's on my page. Just go to my userpage and you'll soon see a Bonus Stage article link.)  Wikipedia can't stop people from making subpages from wiki userpages! So, feel free to edit there, all you Bonus Stage fans out there. Wikipedia can't stop us from doing that! CheesyToons 23:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

The reason we should bring back Bonus Stage isn't because it's noteworthy, it's because it's something people actually might want to look up information on. After all, isn't the point of Wikipedia to provide information? I mean, if someone wants information about something, It's our job to give it to them. 71.212.103.150 (talk) 05:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
