For rules on original thought/research, please see Wikipedia:No original research

There was a page with the same premise of this one that was previously voted for deletion, yet another one was created. That page is archived here. Articles with personal essays and original thought have no place in Wikipedia. The decision should be respected, and this article should be deleted. Kaonashi 05:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think the parent article, Salad Fingers, has gained enough notoriety to warrant an interesting and well thought out article on the sense behind the nonsensical that is Salad Fingers. Wikipedia is not completely devoid of theories behind speculated symbolism, and on a related note, Harry Potter has a huge page devoted to the all the spells that appear in the books/movies and their possible incantations, causes, effects, and origins. -- MacAddct1984 06:07, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom; this smacks of original research. --Alan Au 06:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think all those involved have done an excellent job in explaining the aspects of the Salad Finger universe and the article is both entertaining, enlightening and informing. I don't see how Salad Fingers Theories needs a deletion its presense only serves to be of help. And somehow I believe fans of the series would likely look on Wikipedia anyway for analysis rather then synopsis. I really don't mean to offend those who want to delete the article but i doubt their critical reasoning, those who aren't so keen on Salad Fingers shouldn't be voting as to them it may be seen as a mindless cartoon. This would prevent an argumentum ad numerum which is largely swindled by lack-of-knowledge decisions rather then of informed decisions.
rebuttal Original research applies largely to only academic articles, also I have reason to believe Rjonseric is a sock puppet as it seems to be within close time frame and point as Nandesukall. The article states that it is theory and primary and secondary research is clearly used noting a NPOV which is not minority --Raddicks 13:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Kaonashi, this new page was created beause it shares nothing at all with the last page besides the name. It wouldn't be fair to keep the same votes for a page that has been completely redesigned. You've all probably seen the episodes. From discussion I know that 90% blow off the series as non-sensical and weird, while the other 10% ask if there's moe to it than what they see on the surface. David Firth even admits that there is more to the series than most people think, and I believe it's a great idea to keep theories (that were actually the result of discussion on David's page and not the result of one person's effort) so interested people can have a resource to help them with their own analyzations. -- Kyle Michelson 24 August 2005
  • Keep I believe this has proved some interesting ideas into this series, and could be a good solve to the true story. -- Legendarydairy11:25, 24 August 2005. - (user's 4th and 6th edits)
  • Abstain I think it would be better as a section of Salad Fingers, but I'm prepared to give this page a chance to prove its worth. --Billpg 18:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
All i would say to that is there are two points to one match stick, you either get the spark or you don't. --Raddicks 19:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder what kind of accuracy speculation is supposed to have.--Kaonashi 02:51, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
