Community talk:The Legend of Neil

Umm, what is this? If it's spam, well then... User:RupeeLord/sig 00:02, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's certainly an article that should be made, however, this one is completely short and there are several typos.User:Steven/sig 00:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I can actually help this place. Yes it is a real online TV series from effinfunny made in partnership with Comedy Central. It's really funny, follow the link.Wowzeras 00:30, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, sorry for thinking it was spam :P It's just that there were spelling mistakes. User:RupeeLord/sig 16:45, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I put in the titles of the episodes released so far, making it easier for other users to make authorized edits, you can delete it if it's just a hinderance... SuperMarioSuperFan 03:44, 28 September 2010 (EDT)

Ummm... should we also include the Minisodes, Like The Gloffice (Minisode), Armos Banter, Elf vs. Wild, and Dirty Old Man Dancing? I mean, it would help... Also, I think we should try to put the information as much age-appropriate as possible, removing the Adult content...SuperMarioSuperFan 22:54, 2 October 2010 (EDT)

Purpose

First off, I would like to say that I am not stating that this article should be deleted. I am simply asking why it was made in the first place. I like The Legend of Neil, it is definitely different than 99.9% of Zelda parodies out there. It is made more professionally and cleanly. But, ZeldaWiki.org doesn't have an article about the Zelda parody "The True Legend of Zelda" cartoon, or any other parody unless it is directly connected to Nintendo. If the actors were, say, from the official Zelda cartoon and this is another work, then I can see why it was made. But, unless there is a direct connection (canon and not-canon alike), I don't see why this was made other then perhaps because we like it. By itself, "liking" something shouldn't merit its own article. Perhaps there is a direct connection which I simply was unaware of, I don't know. —Yruag 01:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

You actually make an excellent point. I think the reason we have this over the real legend (which, for the record, I effing LOVE) and such is because it's so professionally done, which you mentioned. While I don't know what the intentions of the original creator of the article were, I think it doesn't really matter because of how professional and widely known it is. I will say that you sorta blew my mind there :PUser:Justin/sig 01:52, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I could see why the article was made if the series was one that was "so big, it shaped the entire community", which I think it at least one of the possible reasons. Also, hi there Justin. —Yruag 02:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Another valid argument. And hello, there, Yruag! Good to see such a well-mannered and educated new editor! Hope you stick around!User:Justin/sig 02:19, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, Zelda Wiki does not only cover the official aspects of Zelda. We do also make a point of covering the community aspect of Zelda as well, hence the Community namespace. As such, I would think this article is justified, but definitely needs to be moved to the Community namespace. If we don't have articles on the parodies you mentioned, Yruag, then perhaps we should create them. — Hylian King ^[*] 06:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
