Talk:Blastification

DO NOT DELETE THIS. It's the most awesome joke article we have! -Rotty 01:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• If you don't want to delete it...why put a deletion tag on the article? -- SFH 01:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it should go, awesome as it is. --ItsWalky 01:28, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't put the tag on it. Derik inexplicably did after creating it himself, look at the history. -Rotty 01:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I have to agree with Walky, it's a little too unencyclopedia for my taste.

The first half is meh-okay, in that it talks about a real 'thing,' (the noticeable proliferation of the word 'blast' and possible reasons for it) but the fake Bashō irked me- quote format should be for real quotes. Plus it asserts that the ontological 'school of thought' actually exists, I'd be more chill about it if it simply suggested the zen-archery thing as an abstract counter-argument, but it says fans actually believe this.

Plus blastification isn't a real fandom term, and we're pretty strict about that. The article would have to move to like, Proliferation of the word blast or just blast.

It's parody not sarcasm, and outright parody articles making stuff up don't belong on the wiki, which is why I marked it for deletion in the first place. Unless the fandom starts spontaneously using the term blastification between now and whenever there's a final decision, I have to affirm my vote for deletion.

However, since that's still pending... does anyone know where I could find a comic-book panel of a Transformer (preferably Galvatron) shouting "Blast!"? The article could use a visual. -Derik 02:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Er... but... you... wrote... it?--Rosicrucian 03:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

And thus marking it for deletion was very responsible of me, don't you think?

This article is awesome. I have saved it for posterity and intend to publish it in many scientific journals. Or maybe just post it to some newsgroup. -Autobus Prime 17:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

...Was just watching Heavy Metal War on Youtube, and noticed that Wheeljack actually wields a weapon called the "Shockblast Cannon".

It may be redundant to mention that it blew up the first time he tried to fire it..--82.41.82.198 05:38, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
