This is a thread I wanted to create for quite awhile, and now I think it's time that we have one. This wiki has many great contributes and articles, but it's obvious some don't miss the mark and at times are quality reminiscent of the Lost Media Archive. I feel a thread to discuss articles we feel should be removed (or why they should stay) would be a good thing. I'll start:
www.lostmediawiki.com/Columbia_Pictures_Television_%22Cokeburst%22_(and_other_closing_logos_from_various_companies;_1970s-2000s) - This one has always been bizarre. It's a holdout from the old Wiki days, and the mess of it shows. The title of the article isn't even covered in the article and the logos don't have much consistency between each other and it drags on in a way that becomes confusing. This is one where it might be possible to spread out the article into different ones to salvage it, but it can't stay as it is.
www.lostmediawiki.com/TV_bumpers_and_continuity_(lost_advertising_material;_1972-2003) - This one is like the Cokeburst article but with little effort put into it. It doesn't even have a proper title, really no sources outside the videos themselves, very little info on the topics and no consistency. I really have no idea why this one still exists, it should be fully removed.
www.lostmediawiki.com/Nickelodeon_Japan_(lost_content_of_cancelled_TV_channel;_1998-2009) - By far my least favorite article on the wiki. This is the last holdout from when dubs were allowed, and I have absolutely no idea why it's still allowed. It's one of the worst written and nothing besides the channel shutdown even qualifies for a article. I've thought about revamping it completely just to focus on the shutdown, but I don't know if that's allowed.
www.lostmediawiki.com/Sonic_Mania_(cancelled_3DS_port_of_platformer;_2017) - Not bad but the community has decided that it was never worked on and doesn't count for a article
www.lostmediawiki.com/VeggieTales_%22God_Made_You_Special:_Live!%22_-_Bob_the_Tomato%27s_Dialogue_by_John_Trauscht_(lost_audio_from_live_show;_2008) - Way too short
Bonus: www.lostmediawiki.com/Milkcan.com_(partially_found_website;_1999) - I have no idea what's going on here
