Episode Removed From Netflix

Episode 'Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth' was removed by Netflix in 2020 due to Mac and Dee wear blackface in wake of the BLM movement at that time.

Wikipedia award

Isn't there some kind of award for what must be one of the greatest sentences in all of wikipedia. "Some of these situations include: becoming addicted to crack cocaine and pretending to be mentally challenged in order to qualify for welfare; attempted cannibalism; kidnapping; blackface; hiding naked inside a couch in order to eavesdrop on people; tricking a man into giving his daughter a lap dance; forcing each other to eat inedible items; huffing paint; foraging naked in the sewers for rings and coins; impersonating police officers in order to get free goods and extort civilians; sleeping with each other's romantic interests; seducing a priest; secretly feeding someone their dead pet; plugging their open wounds with trash; grave robbing; setting a room full of people on fire and locking the door to avoid an uncomfortable Thanksgiving meal; stalking their crushes; fantasizing about killing each other; taking out life insurance on a suicidal person; orally siphoning gasoline; and pretending to have AIDS in order to get priority access to water park rides—among many other scenarios."

Deletion of Individual Character Articles

Why were the individual character articles for Dennis, Dee, Charlie, and Mac deleted? I think at the very least Mac's page should have stayed for him coming out in season 12. (I know he's far from the first television character to be gay but still) I also think keeping Dennis's page would've been fine because many consider his portrayal of a sociopathic womanizer to be a lot more realistic than other shows. I think, if you were to delete the individual articles, you should've combined that information into the "Characters in It's Always Sunny" page. The information on that page is, last time I checked, the same as it was when the characters had individual articles. Now Frank has the longest section out of any member of the gang on that page because, before the individual character articles were deleted, he was the only member of the gang without his own page, and the length of the section in the Characters in Iasip page was suppose to compensate for that. 2600:1011:B067:29A0:0:49:AFC:6101 (talk) 12:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the longest running live-action American sitcom?
- Reviewed: [[]]

Created by Mjks28 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

Mjks28 (talk) 01:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Sorry, Mjks28, but it's not eligible. Please see WP:DYK for general info and rules, including eligibility: an article must be, within the last week, new, newly five-times expanded, or a new Good article. It's already 20,426 prose characters, so a 5x expansion isn't really an option, but you could get it to Good article status and renominate within a week of that designation.

Mention of cult following in the intro

A piece of media developing a cult following usually means that this media was originally unsuccessful, ran for a short time, or was not made originally widely available. The cult following is made up of a small number of people (small in relation to the size of the intended or potential audience).

A sitcom like Undeclared, for example, could develop (or maybe it already has developed) a cult following.

Surely the longest running American sitcom doesn't have a cult following but, rather, a good sized audience.

I suggest amending the article to clarify that. 90.244.186.37 (talk) 08:00, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
