Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Brian Peppers

Why was the discussion removed? Is there some sort of coverup?--Sonjaaa 03:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

There is a lot of controversy regarding this entire situation. I think it should stay up personally, as it's a large meme.

I am now curious as to what occurred here... it is like a battlefield, completely empty with no evidence of who was here and why they were fighting... what happened? Misterniceguy7 02:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure, but I can speculate. Are you familiar with the subject? There are several parodies on ytmnd.com. Search for them, they are really funny. I found something that might help you understand what happened; [here]

What happened was, as usual, typical of Wikipedia lately. Despite a clear ruling by Jimbo, several users decided to continue to debate the article and attempt to re-insert it, thus the blanked discussion. This is why more and more people are leaving Wiki every day, because of nonsense like that. TruthCrusader 20:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, I think that it was a very popular and notable internet meme. I look forward to its return on Wikipedia.

 * I don't think that'll happen, as Wikipedia seems to be getting stricter and stricter about this kind of stuff. We're moving slightly more in the direction of Conservapedia, and cutting out trivialities, nonsense and poor quality information, like it or not.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 21:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Blanking the AfD discussion "as a courtesy to the article's subject" doesn't seem very consistent with the official policy that Wikipedia is not censored. Redxiv 01:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

how to view the discussion
even though it was erased, you can still see what happened in the page's history.

deadline?
Now that Jimbo's date has passed, does it mean one can restart the article? I don't understand the censorship.--Sonjaaa 16:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the article should be reinistated for historical purposes. The person in question, the event(s), and it's pop culture. That's it. People had a problem with it because Brian was only accused as far as I recall. Fr0 03:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I support reinstating it. Very notable internet meme. -Rocket000 06:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Add closing italic markup after "this page." and before the closing div tag. This fixes a Linter error. Thanks for addressing this trivial request. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:31, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
