GANNON-BANNED

An minor in-joke at a message board does not deserve an article. Apostrophe 04:29, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Ga-what? Delete. El_C 05:17, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, gamescruft. Megan1967 06:01, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable. —Seselwa 06:34, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - David Gerard 09:47, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but perhaps merge with The Legend of Zelda series or something similar. It is not just a minor in-joke, and definitly not only one message board. It also shares a goal with wikipedia, getting things correct -- Ian Moody 21:48, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, as suggested above, or simply delete for lack of notability. -- Karada 21:53, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A minor in-joke amongst a small group of fans of one game series. Indrian 14:36, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, a pointless article. Thunderbrand 19:15, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with LOZ main topic, or maybe with Ganon (spelled correctly!) page. Gannon-Banned is A PRIVATE JOKE. Do you go on here and find create "all your base are belong to us" topics? No? Similarly, this has no place here. Master Thief Garrett 09:49, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) EDIT: when I say "merge" I mean in the sense of "cut most of this junk and have a three-line blurb and a link to the .com site". Certainly it shouldn't spam up any other page either. What is actually contained on this page that you can't find on the website itself? It's mostly a (reworded?) textdump of what the guy already wrote. Master Thief Garrett 11:38, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable fancruft. — JIP | Talk 10:05, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• I didn't even knew this existed. You do know NOA considers this an OFFICIAL term now, and it was recognized at Camp Hyrule 2004. So it is official terminilogy, but maybe it should be MERGED with The Legend of Zelda article. TSA 02:02, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Why not? Who's it gonna hurt? -NewHyrule
• Keep Gannon-banned is fairly popular on many sites now. I say keep.
• Keep It isn't hurting anything, people are taking the opinion's of someone they don't even know way to far.
• Keep It's fine with me. Wikipedia is supposed to be comprehensive, and this makes it just that much more so.

• Keep I think its cool it's in here. Something to lighten up the Zelda Community. -JC
• Keep It's a popular term in the Zelda community. I've seen it used all over the place, and even on some non-Zelda sites, so it's much more than just a small in-joke now.

• Keep Why not? You have "Pwns" on here, you have "n00b" on here, you have "leetspeak" on here. It's a good term, and the fact that you all know it to post on here defeats your arguments of not notable. Also, it is used by NOA, so I say keep it
• Keep Nothing wrong here.
• Keep! Man, people take stuff too seriously.

• Comment: The above Keep votes are all by anons and a single-edit user, if it wasn't obvious already. Xezbeth 15:51, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep its a good thing
• Delete this is stupid
• Keep why the f*** dou you care so much about this, its not that big of a deal

• Comment: User:TSA's and User:Xezbeth's comments were deleted by an anon user. I've added them back. The same anon user, for some bizarre reason, voted both "delete" and "keep", as the two votes immediately preceding this. — JIP | Talk 17:26, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - SouthpawLink - And in response to a poster above, there is an article for "All your base are belong to us." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
• Keep -swdarin- I don't want to see people getting any Zelda-related info wrong. KEEP IT!

• Keep Tis a good thing(then again, I am biased :D ). --nerd_boy 01:41, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I see no reason it shouldn't be kept... - Chibi
• Keep Definitely keep it!! Why should it be deleted? - Pjotr V
