Pimps At Sea[edit]

hey, i think it should stay. i guess maybe modified a bit cause it isnt really a RTS game or anything, but i think it has encyclopedic value. i know people who still talk about it, and i point em to this article.

  • This article was tagged as nonsense, so the creator tagged it as VfD and put the above comment. I've removed the nonsense tag, and cleaned up this VfD entry. I'm not voting here.-gadfium 08:38, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. Not nonsense, but not a genuine game either. Does not warrant a separate article (yet?). Off-hand mention in the Bungie Studios page is enough. JRM 08:53, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)
  • Keep, no harm in having a separate article. It's part of gaming lore as much as SPISPOPD or Exploding sheep -- Ferkelparade π 09:10, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment. Exploding sheep spans multiple games and is far better known than either Pimps At Sea (Bungie-lore) or SPISPOPD (Doom-lore). However, I do see some merit in keeping them separate as opposed to bloating the main articles with them. Undecided. JRM 09:22, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)
  • Delete. A leading space doesn't make an article a speedy candidate though, bad tagging GRider. --fvw* 14:32, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)
    • Keep. I say keep for two reasons. Firstly, I'm sure more people recognize this game (or at least the joke) than other more obscure titles, like say Bungie's Gnop! which also has its own article. Secondly, just because it's an internet joke doesn't mean people don't want to know about it. For instance All your base are belong to us, Yatta and Tin foil hat all have articles, and with due cause. No one wants to be left out of a joke, and they can find out all about it here.

      • Keep. I couldn't have said it better myself. foobaz|✎ 04:25, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Mikkalai 23:41, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is well-known, but not well-documented, in the gaming world on both the Mac and the PC/XBox. Beyond that, I've yet to see a good reason for deleting this - it's certainly not nonsense, and it's accurate. Pbones 04:36, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, could do with some expansion. Megan1967 01:53, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep but send to cleanup. RMG 01:35, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
