176:. First of all, it is not indiscriminatory, but selective (it shouldn't list one-time gags, only major places). Second, it clearly indicates it is a fictional topic, not a real world one. Third, it is salvageable, and fourth, there are several books about precisely this topic. I don't think it's wise to start wiping all content Knowledge has on fiction. Having rebutted all "reasons" given for deletion, I think this does belong, although of course it could stand some pruning and cleanup.
405:(The first international journey by Homer, discussed in the DVD commentary as pushing the limits for the show at the time). There's probably more, but these received significant out of universe coverage. I don't like the article in it's current form. I'd prefer it to be rewritten with the out of universe sources for at least the few I've mentioned, with perhaps a short list of the more notable places (eg Japan, Australia). ●

Simpsons" and goes downhill from there. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but find it difficult to deem this encyclopedic.

They are not difficult to source/verify. Even if there were no books or articles on the subject, much of the content can be verified by simply watching the episodes in question.

some people use this website to learn about their favourite T.V shows so deleting everything doesn't help. I can't remember enough so I us the same pages multiple times.

It has an iconic status in
Knowledge? I didn't know that was an inclusion standard. I thought things had to be notable, you know, in the real world.
117:
I have reason to believe that such an article does not belong on
Knowledge. First of all, it is indiscriminatory, and treats a fictional topic

Actually, there are people with different comments for different AFDs, so it's working out. Kind of. I didn't know how events would turn out.
