Talk:Taco Bell

At the risk of being pedantic, normally we only cover elements in Renegade Rhetoric that also exist in other Transformers fiction, based on the stated position that Renegade Rhetoric is not, in fact, Transformers fiction. Are we changing that policy? I am aware that the latest set of stories has been mostly Transformers focused, I just wasn't sure how we were going to handle that. --Giggidy (talk) 09:17, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

Didn't Glen Whitman offhandedly mention Taco Bell in the first Transformers movie? But yeah, I personally think these kind of articles are completely and utterly asinine. They serve no informative purpose. Do we REALLY have to create an article for every motherfucking proper noun that is ever uttered in a piece of TF fiction? Jesus. --DrSpengler (talk) 10:21, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

Well I thought it would funny to have an article about Taco Bell. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 10:31, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

Yes. Ignore them if it bothers you that much. Saix (talk) 10:36, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

DrSpengler's point about the movie mention is a good one. But just for clarification, are we now taking Renegade Rhetoric to be Transformers fiction? It makes sense to me to do so, because Wheeljack, Prowl, and the other 84/85 Autobot car Spy Changers vs. Megatron, Soundwave, and other G2 Go-Bots Decepticons seems like a cut and dried case. But people have gotten weird about the Facebook stuff before. --Giggidy (talk) 11:35, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

@DrSpengler: Yes, because the wiki's always been like that, because it's funny.

@Giggidy: It seems fairly clear that there are three "parts" to Renegade Rhetoric - part 1, hosted on Ask Vector Prime and about Cy-Kill and the GoBots (not "Transformers enough"); part 2, hosted on Renegade Rhetoric and about Cy-Kill and the GoBots (not "Transformers enough"); and part 3, hosted on Renegade Rhetoric and about Wheeljack and the Spy Changers ("Transformers enough"). Just like the Ask Vector Prime page didn't "count" when it was about GoBots, Renegade Rhetoric "counts" now that it's not about GoBots. --Riptide (talk) 12:34, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

Interesting. So, in effect, Renegade Rhetoric gets treated just like all other Transformers Facebook pages then. The "Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric isn't Transformers fiction" rule goes away, superseded by the "no exclusively GoBots Facebook material write-ups" rule. It's ok to write up new (non-GoBots) characters or places that interact with guys like Wheeljack. That makes good sense. --Giggidy (talk) 16:25, 17 May 2016 (EDT)
