Substantial portions of this page have been copy-pasted from simpsonswiki.com[1]. That said, that wiki is shared under BY-SA 3.0, so its content may be reused. I'm a fairly new editor and I'm not clear if this is allowed. Wikipedia: Copy-paste seems to imply it may be allowed, so if so, please ignore this.

• I see what's going on here. The creator of this article copy-pasted Stop, or My Dog Will Shoot into this one and turned that one into a redirect. Presumably they didn't like the punctuation. I reversed this: restored the old page, and turned the current one into a redirect. The question is, what do we do with the "Stop!" article, leave it or delete the redirect? I'm in favor of keeping it as a redirect per WP:CHEAP but I don't really care either way. Would better be served at WP:RFD if anyone has a problem with the redirect, otherwise the nominator could withdraw the nom if they're happy. (Also, the Simpsons Wiki is a copy paste of this article, not the other way around.) Deadbeef 00:04, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - since general consensus is that individual Simpsons episodes are notable (for whatever reason), there's no reason to delete this one, especially if the copyright concerns are unfounded. Discussion of the redirect can go to WP:RfD, as stated before. ansh666 18:10, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• I have history-merged Stop, or My Dog Will Shoot into Stop! Or My Dog Will Shoot. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:21, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – It does appear I was mistaken in my original assessment. This revision from October 2007 [2] on Wikipedia predates this revision from November 2007 [3] on Wikisimpsons. DiscantX (talk) 08:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
