Have article requests? Put them here

That's So Weird! - YTV's comedy show. Currently redirected to So Weird which is a different show, and I think we should use That's So Weird! for the show's article, instead of "That's So Weird (TV show)" or something. tablo (talk) 01:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
