You need to archive the talk page, discussion from 2005 to 2007 is worth keeping, but of little relevance in the active work on the article.

Reception

• "I probably would react to him like Squidward does [laughter]." This quote is painfully dependant on square brackets. Is anything truly added to the quote by the last word?
  • Remove that bracketed word.
• Have you gone through the reviews cited in the article for the first season of SpongeBob? I'm just wondering if there's any commentary on the character by actual newspapers? The opinions of Treadway and Filucci are valid inclusions, but there must be something in the New York Times or something.
  • Added some reviews. Check them!
• The 11 minutes quote is quite clever, when you really think about the format of the program. But I don't see why this is in reception? Is it any surprise that a quote from the third most important character in the series is in a top 10 list? All this tells us is that she really likes one of thousands of lines he's said.
  • Removed.

• "that studio" ambiguous. Where the award ceremony was being filmed? The Nickelodeon animation studio? The Garfield animation studio?
  • It was The Beverly Hilton so I added it.
• "this type of award": Tom Kenny was nominated for Annies before Rodger was nominated for an Emmy. I've reworded the sentence.
  • Thanks!
• I've delinked Sierra Filucci, as she doesn't qualify for an article.
  • Thanks!

In other media

• That NickShop link is going to be dead at some point. Perhaps use some of these articles?

  •  Done? I can't find proper sources with those results. — Mediran [talk] 06:09, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
• I'm similarly not a fan of Amazon references for anything other than release dates.
  •  Done? — Mediran [talk] 06:09, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
• I've reworded the second paragraph; I thought that the episode itself was a live musical, not that there was an adaptation of the episode.
  • Thanks!
• He's appeared in theme park parades since at least 2006 (Canada's Wonderland) and continues to appear (Universal Studios Orlando).

• "creepypasta": Is there any way to shorten this? As the defacto first result on Google, acknowledging rumours and citing debunking of those rumours is like a public service. But the sheer heft of this paragraph should be lessened. Does Plafke's analysis of the feasibility of the hoax have relevance?
  • OK. I also thought of that that the Geek.com analysis should be removed. So I removed it as it not needed and to shorten the para.

More later. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:15, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Passing "Role in SpongeBob SquarePants", although there's many other episodes that could work as examples to cite, as well. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:55, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Passing all, congrats! -- Zanimum (talk) 21:40, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
