Barely Legal (Family Guy)[edit]
No listing on familyguy.com, planet-familyguy.com, tv.com nor tvguide.com. Google results for ""Barely Legal" "Family Guy" 5ACX03" are for this Wikipedia page only. Without "5ACX03" search results yield a real already aired episode in which Brian reads the magazine "Barely Legal Bitches." Cromulent Kwyjibo 21:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Royboycrashfan
21:12, 26 February 2006 (UTC) - Delete. By precedent, episodes can have their own separate articles. However, this specific one is unverifiable, and neither I or the nom have been able to find a source on this. Therefore, verifiability, WP:NOT a crystal ball, and the possibility that this article is a hoax are all fitting criteria for deletion. — Rebelguys2 talk 21:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

- Delete as probable hoax. -Colin Kimbrell 18:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment actually its probably not a hoax [1]. The family guy blog uses blog.familyguy.com the official domain name and features comments from staff and crew. Dont think theres much point deleting. Discordance 00:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- After reading the link, I still think that it should be deleted, this time for Crystal Ball-ism. Thanks for pointing it out, though. -Colin Kimbrell 01:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough, i was just concerned someone might lock the page if they thought it was a hoax. Discordance 03:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- I clicked the link and it took me to "64.70.52.115," which doesn't look like "familyguy.com" (but then again I'm not a DNS computer). But if we accept what it says at face value, it doesn't rule out that "Barely Legal" could be a working title that could get changed to something completely different some time between being sent to the animators and being released on DVD, nor does it rule out that the episode could altogether be discarded without the production code 5ACX03 ever attaching. So based on this evidence alone I'm not ready to change my vote, but I'm willing to consider it if more credible evidence turns up. Cromulent Kwyjibo 00:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not bothered if it gets deleted just wanted to make sure the page wasnt locked in case it needs recreating in future. and no the site doesnt seem hosted on the same servers but if you enter blog.familyguy.com into your browser you end up at the blog which means they have permission from fox to use a subdomain of the official site.Discordance 01:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

- Delete It's either a hoax or we are breaking out the crystal ball, either way it should be gone.
- Delete The blog entry is treated in such an ephemeral way (c'mon, it's barely two months old and already it gets shuffled off familyguy.com) that the information contained in it can't be treated as all that permanent. I have a feeling the episode will wind up with a completely different title, and the title "Barely Legal" won't take hold in the public consciousness (the way "European Road Show" did for "Road to Rhode Island") so that it won't even merit a redirect. But if there does turn out to be an episode with the title, the article can be created again, no harm done, IF AND WHEN AN AIR DATE OR RELEASE DATE IS ANNOUNCED.

- Delete probably a hoax and if not it's nonnotable. Cool3 00:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - might as well delete it i agree its crystal ball-ism and the episode may not reach final production or change names but no it's probably not a hoax it was announced by a director on a subdomain of the offical domain name (granted not hosted by them). non-notable? only because its crystal-ballism. Anton (European Road show/Road to Europe btw) im not the creator of this article i certainly wont recreate it until its aired i dont see the point in stubs on future episodes. I'm only defending it from being labelled a hoax because as far as im aware hoax pages can be locked even if the show changes names it may deserve a redirect.Discordance 04:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
