  • Delete. Seems to be quite extensive patent nonsense, made by someone who knows how to edit. Probably deserves an entire BJAODN page in itself. Smerdis of Tlön 16:37, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Neutral. This is from the "Tremors" series from SciFi Channel. But it really reads like a copyvio, although I've not been able to confirm it as SciFi.com is extremely difficult to navigate. If copyvio, it obviously should go. But if not, it should stay with a reference to the show. -Vina 17:08, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Could this be merged with the Tremors film entry, since it's a canonical explanation of the creatures in the film and television series? On its own, without any reference to the series, it's quite misleading. On the other hand, who doesn't love an encyclopedic entry with an "AssBlasters" heading? Spatch 17:30, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • I found it: here. Thue | talk 18:16, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • That link doesn't work for me, but here's another link via the Wayback Machine: [1]. The other sections are available via the "previous" and "next" links at the bottom. - KeithTyler
  • I would say make this a redirect to Tremors. Don't merge the material. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 17:36, 2004 Sep 1 (UTC)
  • Add introductory blurb clarifying that this is from the series Tremors, and rename to Graboid (Tremors)
    Change vote to Redirect in light of copyvio. - KeithTyler 17:00, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • I put the note on the discussion page that this was from "Tremors." I think this is sort of the Tremors Expanded Universe -- entirely odd. It's far too lavish, too much a clip from the series fansites, to stay. It isn't encyclopedic: it's a copy of a fiction. Redirect to Tremors without merging. Geogre 18:40, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • I listed this originally for speedy delete as it seemed to be patent nonsence. It is also 50+ kilobytes long and nowhere does it mention anything about a movie. My vote is now to delete the article, keep the title with a single sentence explanation and a redirect to Tremors ping 07:51, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect. Make sure to redirect Graboid (Tremors) as well, though the latter shouldn't have been created (unless there are other "Graboids" that I'm unaware of?). -Sean Curtin 17:19, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Deleted as a copyvio (it was on WP:CP since Sep 1, 2004). Lupo 07:22, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
