Book 3's Eyepiece

Support — Too minor. EvergreenFir 20:42, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose — I don't know, I just feel we should keep it. Possibly a draft? KataraFan☮ wall contribs

What exactly is "Draft" anyway? EvergreenFir 20:54, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

A draft is where we keep pages that aren't strong enough to be an article. We edit them and overtime the article gets better and we move it to a full page when it's ready. KataraFan☮ wall contribs

Oh, that sounds fine then. If nothing more becomes of the eyepiece, then no harm. If something does, we are ready with the draft. EvergreenFir 01:16, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Support — Much too minor. Serves no story purpose as of yet. Should it turn out to be a Chekhov's Gun, and actually have some story importance, we can make the page again. Until then, no. A Light Shining in the Darkness - ^Talk - Dancing Shadows 23:08, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose — Obviously the glass has some critical significance even if we don't know exactly what it is yet. If not now then there will have to be a page for it at some point. A stub makes sense (and it can easily be renamed once we know more about it, etc.). Regardless, it absolutely deserves mention, so if it ends up being deleted then at least make sure it's still mentioned in the Book 3 article and has at least one picture.

Comment — Or, it was a random monocle that the author of the books wore. It could very well be a Chekhov's Gun, but it could also very well not. For now, it's simply too minor. I suggest merging it with 3 instead. A Light Shining in the Darkness - ^Talk - Dancing Shadows 00:39, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Comment — Hey BlueDagger aka A Light Shining in the Darkness, I think you just like saying "Chekhov's Gun" a lot. ;) The foreshadowing is there and the item is physically linked to something, unlike say the "618" that showing up all over the place without being anchored to anything. Still, wouldn't be unhappy with draft status, again, as long as Book 3 has some mention of it. Cuteswan 06:13, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Comment — Haha, yes, I do love saying Chekhov's Gun. At any rate, let me revise it: It could very well have story significance later on: Or, it could just have been a random prop that was randomly there and will literally never do anything in the story again. I say we just merge it with 3 and call it a day. A Light Shining in the Darkness - ^Talk - Dancing Shadows 22:09, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

!	The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Summary: Delete suggestion withdrawn

Support — Weak support. We don't know enough about him really... not sure he deserve a page. EvergreenFir 20:43, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose — We hardly know anything about the Mystery Man, either, yet we have a page for him. We hardly know anything about 2, or Merpeople, or Floating Eyeballs, etc., etc., the list goes on. We may not have much info, but the info we do have deserves to stay on this wiki. A Light Shining in the Darkness - ^Talk - Dancing Shadows 23:07, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose — I fixed the page. -- User:Feey1 ^{I am FEEY1. Speak to me!} 23:14, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Comment — I retract my delete suggestion. EvergreenFir 00:50, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Category:Hallucinations

Support — Wanton creation of random categories needs to stop. A category should not be created for two things and never be used again. Even if there were more "hallucinations" in the show, the cat is just useless. We don't need it. A Light Shining in the Darkness - ^Talk - Dancing Shadows 11:34, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Template:User_Christian

Support — Strong support. Not related to Gravity Falls. Honestly, I don't think it's terribly appropriate to have this as a userbox in the first place. EvergreenFir 23:09, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose — It's a user box, so it doesn't have to resemble Gravity Falls. And having a template of someone being a Christian is okay. I truly see no reason to delete it. -- User:Feey1 ^{I am FEEY1. Speak to me!} 23:17, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral — I don't really have a problem with it, but I can see why some people would. If you're going to create a userbox for Christians, then you should probably create one for other religions/non-religions. KataraFan☮ wall contribs

Support — If it's just for users to obtrusively show their religious affiliations, which has no place when discussing the show, nix it. Otherwise what's to stop me from creating such pages for every secularist, skeptic, women's rights, science, volunteer, atheist, etc. group that I belong too and attaching them to my profile? (Don't worry because that's too obnoxious for even me to do.) Cuteswan 05:28, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Category:Gravity Falls residents

Support — There are very few characters that aren't residents of Gravity Falls. KataraFan☮ wall contribs

Support — same as above. EvergreenFir 02:20, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
