: There is no context in which this can be treated seriously or redeemed as a "proper" article; however, I wonder if we shouldn't have a ''little bit'' of scope for such things, maybe with an appropriate "Humor" category and a Template:NonCanonical infobox of some sort. Could be used to settle the occasional edit war over [[Sotoxi]] as well :P --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 15:46, 12 June 2015 (CDT)
:: A category for "humor" articles would just encourage more people to post garbage, IMO. The stated goal purpose of this site is to be informational, not humorous. That can go on some other site. -- [[User:ETTiNGRiNDER|ETTiNGRiNDER]] ([[User talk:ETTiNGRiNDER|talk]]) 16:20, 12 June 2015 (CDT)
::: I was just discussing on IRC how we're one of the few wikis that can ''never'' cut loose to any degree and have a few things that are outside the mold. But I've had my hand forced anyway so it doesn't matter now. The humorous article was replaced with one that was neither funny nor factually informative. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 16:22, 12 June 2015 (CDT)
: ''(edit conflict)'' Even if we deem this [[Doom Wiki:Policies and guidelines#Original research|a worthwhile topic]] despite its [https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&as_epq=cut+scene+psychosis&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gws_rd=ssl nonexistence] in the Doom community, cutscenes in many modern games behave similarly. IMO it belongs in a broader directory like tvtropes. (P.S. one can have great intentions, but be worse than useless because of all the rewriting required. Examples: my technical articles, half of Wikipedia's bots, Ralph Nader.) [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] ([[User talk:Ryan W|talk]]) 16:39, 12 June 2015 (CDT)
