Profile Deletion Requests Thread (New forum)

I am against deleting Lin Lin seeing as she's super cute

On a serious note, the wiki has tons of profiles for characters with next to no actual screen time. I mean ****, Gwynevere literally never appears in a single Dark Souls game ever. If we plan on holding even a single verse to these types of standards, then they should be rigidly defined first, before mass deleting peoples work.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I realize I got a bit over the top with the words, regardless of the argument, so this is a general apology towards everyone.

No need to apologize, I get where you're coming from, I just don't think pages with low screentime need deleting if their statistics are reliable.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. No problem.

Anyway, as long as the characters are distinctive and non-generic, and have some sort of powers, it should probably be fine to keep them.

 

[Roachman40]

Rogue (Novel): All of it's AP based feats are based on assumptions, plus its not really notable in terms of xenomorphs

 

[Cropfist]

Assumptions?

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Aren't all ratings without calcs technically assumptions? The profile doesn't seem to be all that bad, to me at least.

 

[Antvasima]

The statistics for that page do in fact seem based on guesswork.

@Roachman40

Would you be willing to improve on it via accepted calculations please?

[Emirp sumitpo]

The page is still there, might as well warn the user at this point.

 

[SamanPatou]

They recreated it, I will give them a warning

 

[SamanPatou]

Ok no, tier 0 etc... is clearly a troll profile, not a mistake.

 

[AKM sama]

You should give him a warning. He appears clueless.

 

[SamanPatou]

I'll do it, that "sir" sounds like mockery to me, but I want to have faith in them.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the help.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Profiles for comedians break the rules, right?

Jeff Dunham's puppet, also Jeff Dunham's puppet

 

[Cropfist]

They are not still fictional characters?

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

I mean yeah, but the only media they appear in is his comedy act.

 

[Antvasima]

They should preferably be removed, yes. I will do so.

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

Ok, pardon me but just because it is a comedy act apparently that makes it unable to have a profile, even though said character has lore, feats, statements, etc? What part of these fully developed characters doesn’t work? Is it simply because they are puppets? I mean we have characters that are puppets but have lore on this wiki such as Pinocchio (Unstrung). Is it because it has to do with the person Jeff Dunham? Cause iirc we have characters who interact with there creators.

 

[Roachman40]

I mean yeah, but the only media they appear in is his comedy act.

Them appearing in a comedy act is not really a reason to delete them. The characters have feats, backstories, and abilities that are worth noting.

 

[Agnaa]

The VS Battles Wiki is, first and foremost, a fictional character indexing site. All featured characters in our profiles should originate from actual stories, from works that are reasonably notable or popular outside of versus debating communities. A story includes a plot, a fictional setting, and having a defined canon. At the very least, the setting should be entirely fictional in nature, with no true bearing over the real world.

I'm not sure if puppets that come out in semi-scripted comedy acts would count for this.

Pinocchio Unstrung is part of a haunted maze attraction at an amusement park, so I'm not sure if he should count either. It sounds like it's liable to change from year to year, without one good permanent record to stick to.

 

[Axxtentacle]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?

The Pinocchio Unstrung is scripted and meant to be the same story every year, reusing the same props and using the same scaring locations in said location every year. It changes actors, like live performance plays, but the lines used by the scare actors along with the plot of the attraction are the same.

As for this “semi-scripted act”, what specifically is the issue?

 

[Axxtentacle]

There was not only things from the "semi-scripted comedy act" on the profile, either.

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

Would we have to delete these animal robots if we needed to delete Pinocchio?

 

[HeadlessKramerGeoff777]

No, cause like other productions they have scripted positions, along with lore and feats given in the promotional material and the production itself

That sounds fine, but I'm not sure if that's the case with Jeff's puppets.

 

[Axxtentacle]

They actually have a good bit of lore, and lots of official videos that have feats, showings of abilities, back story, full scripts, etc. They were all on the profile, but it seems people just saw "oh it's a comedian's puppets" and deleted it.

 

[Agnaa]

My worry is that a comedian's jokes don't feel like they'd have a concrete, unchanging canonized version between performances, which could make stuff wonky.

Having feats, showings of abilities, backstory, etc. is all good, but if there's no defined canon we can't really use it.

However, if there is some official set of unchanging stuff that's used, then it should be fine.

 

[Axxtentacle]

The backstory is pretty much just different experiences the puppets have together, they usually aren't connected and don't contradict. Also, not everything comes from his shows. A good chunk of the feats on the profiles actually came from Jeff's YT, Q&As, short "films" he did on his YT channel, etc.

His shows are actually scripted for the most part. He'll say the exact same jokes, the only difference is that he'll add new segments. So, they are actually mostly an unchanging canon.

 

[Antvasima]

The main problem is that this is connected to the real world via a stand-up comedian, and the puppets also do not have any demonstrated feats. They just talk about them. There is also no coherent fictional setting that they move in and comprehensively interact with.

As such, they are inappropriate to keep in the wiki, both according to our rules and common sense. Sorry.
