Butter Palm[edit]
Article about a 50 pound statue of a Palm tree carved out of butter, which won a prize at the Minnesota State Fair and briefly got some media attention. Not encyclopedic or notable. Delete. --BM 14:36, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete you seem to be mistaken though: it's not a palm tree, it's a PalmPilot! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:36, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Sigh. Radiant! is of course correct re: notability. I think I let my love for the outre influence my decision. In any event, I will be expecting Radiant to archive all of these deleted trivia articles on his/her computer to restore when WikiTrivia is created! ;)
Keep. Despite the trivial, it still is in Trivial Pursuit. I hate to think of kids in the future trying to confirm this an coming up empty-handed. (Only slightly tongue-in-cheek.)HyperZonktalk 18:14, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC) - Delete. Wikipedia is explicitly not a repository of all trivia. "Good enough for Trivial Pursuit" is not automatically "good enough for Wikipedia". Rossami (talk) 02:26, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep if it made it into a notable game like "trivial pursuit". Kappa 03:19, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC), at least pending transfer to a possible "wikitrivia" project. Kappa 08:46, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Gamaliel 06:52, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Trivial is the opposite of notable. Those who are interested in trivia should go to the MetaWiki site, as there's currently talk about creating a WikiTrivia project (similar to WikiQuotes). Radiant! 14:54, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per Radiant. —Korath (Talk) 17:58, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
