Profiles for The Onion Articles?

[Agnaa]

Can we make pages for profiles from The Onion? It is all fictional satire, like a lot of verses we allow. It's on the internet, but so are many other verses. It's basically The Big Lez Show but in article form.

If the issue's all the different authors, we can base profiles only off of stuff written by a single author, kinda like we do with SCP.

Actually, it didn't originate on the internet. It started as an officially published book series.

Although TBH I support it being allowed since it's basically SCP Foundatio as a comedy

If it is like this explanations, then I think the profiles are fine.

If you refer to their pretend news articles that make fun of distorted strawmen of different types of people, then no, they are non-characters/vague figments who are not sufficiently fleshed out or coherent for our requirements, and it would also invite The Onion's attention to our community, after which they would likely viciously make fun of us in front of millions of people. It definitely isn't worth the trouble.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

I genuinely doubt the onion themselves would directly make fun of us. We're too obscure for them to make fun of.

 

[Antvasima]

Actually we are probably not. We are one of the most popular wikis in the world, and our focus is one that is easy to make fun of.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

Have there ever been any examples of authors actually noticing we made profiles on their fiction?

This is a genuine question, if they have I didn't know.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, Marvel and DC Comics writers sometimes mention battleboards in a disparaging manner, but I do not know about ones who mentioned us specifically.

Nevertheless, it is a bad idea to gamble in this case.

If I reading this point, my opinion changed and I guess the point is true. It is better to go with a safe than sorry approach, epecially if the stories are not coherent enough to be allowed on the wiki based on our wiki rules.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

To be fair I think Lionel Suggs is aware of our wiki

 

[Antvasima]

Okay, and why should this mean that we should feature his characters?

 

[Moritzva]

I agree with Ant. No Florida Man today.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks. So should we close this thread?

 

[Moritzva]

Yes.

I didn't say we should allow suggsverse

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will close this then.
