    [edit] Hack Pack

    Consensus This is an attempt to reach a consensus on whether The Hack Pack is a valid term and should be included. See Talk:Brat Pack (movies)#Hack Pack
    Also Maher-shalal-hashbaz, if you do not have knowlege enough to know of the existence of the name Hack Pack, then you should not be deleting things from this article that you have no knowledge of. if you did have knowledge of it, and listened to the howard stern show, then you would have heard them constantly refering to the killers of comedy.Jpal55 01:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
    And per the referenced discussion, you can see it's not about whether I have knowledge of the existence of the name, but whether there are credible third-party sources for it. Bring it back to the article when someone has written something about it and it will then be notable. Until then, it's just fancruft. Maher-shalal-hashbaz 13:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

    i told you to do a google search for - the hack pack, the killers of comedy, - its all over the fucking internet, please do not delete this again, also its on the howard stern website, and www.thehackpack.com, there doesnt need to be anymore published sources than that, no one is going to write a book about it. was there an article writen in the newspaper, detaliling the plot of the last episode of southpark, 5 minutes after the episode aired, NO, because the show itself is the source, there doesnt need to be an aditional source to define the validiaty of the episode plot, Jpal55 23:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

    Let's keep this discussion civil. I can see you've run into this in your prior edits. I think it would behoove you to read and understand wikipedia's policies. Unfortunately, if your references are all from howard stern generated web-sites, then you'll need to wait until another source writes about the term Hack Pack to demonstrate its notability. It's not up to me to do the searching, as I'm not trying to add unsourced material. Please find some other verifiable sources and add the material back properly. Thanks!

    explain to me one thing, if you dont know anything about the show, or about this group, why do you think you know more about it than someone who does know about the group, to delete something that, i did not add to the page, but someone else, who also knows about the group did, and you think that you have the right to delete it, becuase you havent heard of it. why do you even care about deleting it, if you have no knowledege of it in the first place. is it out of spite? is it because you blindly hold to your interpretation of some type of referencing policy. do you go to every page and check every piece of information and reverify it. i have asked you coutless times, if you do not have sufficient knowledge of a subject, dont pretend you do to justify vandlasing the page. i have already told you several time to do a google search with the term - the hack pack, killers of comedy - and it seems that you repededly ignore it. yes it is true, there has not been anyone who has writen a book, or a newspaper article on this subject, and i can almost guarentee you that there never will be. however, information from the howard stern site, and this goups own website are sufficient enoughJpal55 04:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

    He isn't saying he knows more about it than anyone. He is following Wikipedia policy. The reason citing sources is important is that it allows anyone, fan or not to easily check that you aren't completely making something up, or that you read or heard something right. For example, in Gary Dell'Abate's article there was a discussion about whether or not there was a space in his last name. In his roast if you listen to it Jackie and Fred clearly said there was. The problem with that is that you have to go through recordings of the show, or have heard it on the air, something most people can't do. But you can go to any of the links provided and see that there is in fact no space in those names. This was a discussion between two fans about which is correct, but it still needed citations for accuracy. Don't tell someone to go lookup the information for themself, because another individual coming along might do the same searching and come up with different links, or weigh one webpage's information more than others, and come up with an entirely different opinion. The idea is that you should post the data so that people will see the same result you put up there. Also Wikipedia isn't a fansite. If this or any article grows with all kinds of information that only fans care about it will end up getting deleted, because of the problems it creates. Don't feel obligated to put everything that comes up on the show on Wikipedia, because a year or even a few months from the time it was said, it might not seem as important to the killers of comedy as other information.
