Insert Disc Two

I believe this is a vanity or advertising page. I see very little internet presence for this internet show (thanks to func for doing a bit lot of research for me), and it was started only recently. Joyous (talk) 15:11, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. The fact that it was created by a fan doesn't mean it's not meant to promote the site.
  • Delete. The article is actually well written, but this show, started in early 2005, seems to fall into the vanity category. A google on "Insert Disc Two" "Chris Dunkle" turns up 14 hits, and Alexa.com has no traffic rating for the site whatsoever. I think someone was trying to use Wikipedia to promote this site. func(talk) 15:18, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The show was actually started in mid 2004 and has a moderately small but growing following. The article was written by a fan, and not by the creators, and therefore was not created with the intent to promote the site. Google returns more hits when you don't type in the actor's name, (although they are harder to find due to the phrase being used in a lot of Easter egg and video game sites) since most mentions of the site are quotes from the show and not about the actual performers.

Amendment: Many of the "delete" votes that have been posted here are the result of a personal vendetta waged against the show. Evidence can be found here on their forums

  • Keep. I wrote most of this article, and I intend for it to be informative rather than advertising. Ianthegecko 20:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The Wiki seems to fit no purpose other than to promote the small show's website. There is almost no information about the show itself, except for a long list of influences and brief prior experiences. Without this information, it can be considered a promotion. 14:46, 23 July 2005 (PST)
  • Keep. I respectfully disagree with the idea that this page deserves deletion under either charge of vanity or advertising. No attempt is made to sway the reader to visiting the creators' website (ie. advertising) and it takes a neutral stance on the content. If the article had proclaimed: "Insert Disc Two is a hilarious, brilliant take on comedy", yes, that would be biased and grounds for deletion. But this article is not simply a commercial. In all fairness, the article briefly explains what the show is and simply tells of its history and influences. In short, it provides those curious about the show information to better understand it, which is what a good encyclopedia entry is supposed to do. arthur42(talk) 15:04, 23 July 2005 (CDT)
  • Delete per func(talk). -Splash 23:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There's no need to make a Wikipedia about this site because nobody will ever look up for it out of spite, even if it is ever mentioned by their few fans it would be linked to the website anyways.
  • Keep. You are choosing to acknowledge this article as an advertisement rather than something that is informative, that is your deal. Do you also feel that a Wiki article on Brad Pitt is an advertisement? Let ID2 stay, I say.
  • Keep. You have no apparent reason why you want this down, other then it seems like you have nothing to do. It's not like it has offended you in anyway.
