Teen Girl Squad

Now, I know not everyone's going to agree with this, from comments on Talk:Homestar Runner. But I hardly see any of this text as salvagable; the episode descriptions take up almost all of the article. Why should there be episode descriptions? (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information) Also, some of the character descriptions are ridiculous and/or too long. "We are led to believe that this popularity is just in her head, though, as she has very little luck getting football players to notice her. However, in Issue 12, she gets "Valentimes" cards from every football player except one." So it just contradicted itself. If you want this kept, please come up with a better argument than the length of the article. — Malcolm (talk) 20:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is pretty much just an overblown plot summary (WP:NOT#PLOT). The subject isn't notable enough for a separate article, and would be adequately discussed (from an encyclopedic perspective) with a paragraph within the main article. Leebo ^T/C 20:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
WARNING: Major (but still Wikipedia-wise) fan of Homestar Runner is commenting: Of course it contradicts itself. Any fan of Homestar Runner would know that the comics are Strong Bad's. And Strong Bad frequently contradicts himself. ;) Okay, "fan-rant" over; time for my Wikipedia perspective. I say merge the main parts to ~~the list of secondary Homestar Runner characters~~ World of Homestar Runner OR merge the main parts to Strong Bad because he's the creator of the Teen Girl Squad comics, if it's not there already. I do agree that this doesn't merit it's own article. The HRWiki has one of those anyway. -WarthogDemon 21:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I, like WarthogDemon, have been a long, long time fan of TGS and HSR in general. That said, this article is not encyclopedic. On top of Leebo's point that it is mostly plot summary, the information that is covered in Homestar Runner#Teen Girl Squad is more than an adequate description of TGS - both running jokes and characters. If this article is deleted, it should be replaced with a redirect to HSR#TGS. bwowen ^talk^•^contribs 21:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Homestar Runner. Carom 00:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Bowowen and Carom. The section Bwowen identified is much more encylopedic than this article is, and also doesn't suffer from being a plot summary etc. It's a very amusing part of the whole Strong Bad phenomenon, but I'm not convinced it needs its own article.

Redirect - Teen Girl Squad is one of my favourite Homestar Runner bits, but doesnot need a separate article -- Whpq 22:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
