Time Trotters

Delete non notable unencyclopedic minor web series. WP:NN. WP:WEB probably also applies. Strothra 20:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The series DOESN'T exist at all. Total fan fiction. See this - http://www.geocities.com/willkknight/faq.txt The author of the page admits there is only one episode, which everyone knows anyway. Its just that most people have jumped on the bandwagon of lunacy supporting this nonsense. Creative, funny article, but DOES NOT belong here in Wikipedia. Delkart 19:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rebuttal: As I have pointed out to Delkart in the past, GameSpot has already spoken publically about weighing the options between someday re-releasing the complete Time Trotters: Season One set on Blu-Ray and/or HD-DVD. The thread in question can be found [here].

Delkart, as someone who thoroughly enjoyed all the conversations on internet message boards that were spurred by the release of the latest episode of Time Trotters every week, I know a lot about this series. Anything concrete I have to share has been researched and posted in the Wikipedia article you're lobbying to have deleted. If there's something more you'd like know, please feel free to suggest improvements to the article in the "Discussion" page, or to go straight to the source by posting something on the GameSpot community message boards. Either way, I'd encourage you to find a more constructive way of expressing yourself than posting personal insults in my User Talk page. PattonPending 01:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete patton, In the gamespot thread you provided, AndrewP says:

"Why yes, Time Trotters is the name of a video feature produced by GameSpot's video group that stars such GameSpot staff members as Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, and Rich Gallup." which refers to the only episode that there ever was. No series, no more episodes, just the one episode here: http://www.gamespot.com/features/6117778/index.html

Besides, why are there no relevant results when I search in Google for Time Trotters. 0 relevant results. 0, ZERO, do you understand this?? If this article stays here in Wikipedia, then it means that all kinds of fictional articles can be created here. I guess I should start writing that article about the green monkies living on the moon. *sarcasm*.

Submitted for Wikipedian Consideration: When films, television, and videogames first appeared as forms of entertainment, they were dismissed by "mainstream society" as frivolous short lived fads which did not measure up to existing forms of entertainment. In retrospect, information on those earliest fledgling steps into what would grow into tremendously popular new cultural expressions is widely respected as a part of our historical record. Original internet programming may seem like a hobby or a pipe dream to some, but it is a fresh form of entertainment premiering on the world's #1 fastest growing new medium. A successful web series like Time Trotters -- one of the first of its kind! -- which is produced and distributed by an international web company like GameSpot deserves a place in the encylopedic record.
