713:. I too think that it doesn't need most of the links. That is an argument for editing the page and not deleting it. That someone chooses to add too much information does not hurt the mission of Knowledge (XXG). What hurts is deleting articles that people have put effort into without helping to tailor the articles into something that would be worthwhile keeping. What hurts is having discussions about deletion instead of putting efforts into constructive improvements. A comment about the over-abundance of links on the talk page would have been much more constructive. I have not had much time at Knowledge (XXG) in the last few days, and much of it has been distracted by this AFD. -- 612:- This is a very new article (the oldest content is from 9 days ago) and its nomination seems premature and raises the question of whether there should be a minimum age requirement before an article can be nominated for deletion. It does have an extensive collection of links but they do seem "content-relevant" to the unique subject matter as opposed to just for "mere" collection's sake, the later of which seems to be the main concern of the 723:
and old contributors alike. The use of Knowledge (XXG) to advertise web content must not be tolerated; for that message, AfD speaks louder than a talk page. I am sorry if individual people find this AfD distracting, but I think it is necessary to the furure of this article, even if it is kept without consensus, which seems to be the case. I'll do the honors of removing the spam, since no one else seems willing.
600:. Some have speculated that Brokeback Mountain lost the Best Picture Oscar because of the parodies of the movie. So, I think that makes this a notable topic. You can't get much more notable than being one of the biggest "Best Picture" upsets in Academy Awards history; and this topic of parodies has, the opinions of some, been linked to the upset. I say keep, but cleanup or possibily merge. -- 172: 677:
here. The contributors don't mind contributing, and it is a current cultural phenomena. I think the burden of argument here should be on the delete side to make a case for what makes this irredeemable. The phrase "Brokeback Mountain parodies" gets about 17,000 hits on google. Without the quotes it is about a quarter million. This is a notable subject. --
432:. This is really informative for the people who need this info. While I'm no expert, it seems that this whole parody thing is becoming more and more important. My hat is off to the editors who have addressed the Brokeback parody genre with the full encyclopedic treatment of which it fully deserves. -- 630:
There must never be any policy that makes any article immune from AfD, under any circumstances. Moreover, articles are not deleted because they are underdeveloped. Articles are deleted when they are irredeemable and any development would be a waste of effort, so a policy against deleting new articles

article, and it was decided to move the information to a new page. Many people have contributed to the article, and by Melchoir's assesment, this is a "waste of effort" and "irredeemable". But why? Who is being hurt? What is the damage? I was unaware of these parodies before I came accross them

I fix up far more bad articles than I nominate for deletion. In this case, I didn't think it would be worth my effort; you are welcome to disagree, but actions speak louder than words. Discussions about deletion do not hurt the encyclopedia; they help by clarifying the application of policy for new

to take this type of article into better consideration. Also, the Brokeback parodies are not just an Internet fad. The film was extensively parodied across other mediums including television and print and is arguably the most parodied movie of the year. They deserve their reference amongst the

I can see your point but the quality and content of an article is often related to its development and nine days seems premature to nominate an article for deletion unless it contains a very obvious violation of Knowledge (XXG) policy. Best regards,

It seems they do factor in here since the collection of links (content and even arguably quality) has been cited for many of the delete reasons. Take care & happy voting,
