Conan vs. bear[edit]

• Weak Keep This may have legs, give it a bit of time. DV8 2XL 19:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• merge to Conan O'Brian O'Brien Roodog2k 19:32, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or Merge to Conan. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this. After some googling, it appears to be a wide phenom. -- beyond a very small group. --Quasipalm 20:22, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Conan O'Brien. If it's still memorable (without people being prompted to recall it) in a few months, then it can have its own article. Beginning 21:20, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge at best. I agree with above -this is likely a flash in the pan. If not, it can warrant independent treatment once it is slightly better established. Dottore So 23:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, website promotion (Alexa rank: 981,531), most likely vanity. Martg76 04:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. If an when it becomes notable, then it can be rewritten. Zoe 06:31, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I've seen it long before mentioned date ('August 2005') and it's leading nowhere, but to vanity of the creator(s). However I'm afraid it will just keep turning up again after deletion. Marc NL 20:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. it's pretty pointless. Delete it.

• Keep It's been mentioned on the show, and is far from just a tiny group of friends showing off their drawings. Page does need a cleanup though. --SFont 19:05, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I say keep.

Oh dear, Conan just mentioned the 'Conan vs Bear' website in his show today. He said about it: "One of the by-products of fame are the crazy websites. And there's a bunch of strange websites devoted to you [Elijah Wood] now. [...] It's very strange when sometimes -- someone made me aware today of a website that's artists doing drawings of me fighting bears. Seriously, it's me fighting bears! ... I don't think it has anything to do with anything, but I'm looking at it and a lot of artwork is really good; it's me battling bears and you just think like this is the -- I don't think this is what the inventors of these computers and the internet had in mind. That stuff was invented but God bless them. Good stuff." --Marc NL 05:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
