[edit]For the love of all that is sacred, not everything needs a wiki page. Merge this into the MLP FiM page. --Havermayer (talk) 06:39, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- So far as I can tell, most of it is already there. ReecyBoy42 (talk) 11:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- In that case, I vote we delete it.--Havermayer (talk) 12:45, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Bronies have shown to be just as, if not more, obsessive than Trekkies, and are certainly growing to have as much of an impact (MLP-related images and quotes are seen all of the internet and in real life now). Trekkies have their own article, and I'm sure the cultural impact of Bronies will grow even further as time goes on. The Brony phenomena is possibly even more notable than the show itsself, as it has been covered more and boosted the popularity of FiM considerably. I strongly support the keeping of this page. 124.169.37.241 (talk) 14:50, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, and Star Trek has nearly half a century of history behind it, whle FIM has only been around for just shy of a full year. We have no idea if Bronydom will continue to have legs going forward, especially once FIM ends and gets replaced by G5. As it stands, the article offers almost nothing that isn't already covered in the main article, and the brony subculture CERTAINLY hasn't achieved the same heights as Trekkies, at least not yet. Not to mention that if the majority of Brony content gets shifted over here, that'll take away from the main FIM article, causing it to lose a lot of its biggest/most notable references and a lot of the information that helped it achieve GA status in the first place. Plus I think there's higher MLP Project priorities than just mirroring the "Internet Reception" section in a separate article, like doing major cleanup on the character list pages for example. I don't think we're really at a point yet where the two need to be separated. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- I realise that this is not how things on Wikipedia are done, but ask a group of people about FiM, and they're more likely to have encountered the fandom than have watched the show itsself. 203.206.14.42 (talk) 09:27, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

- Support merging with FiM after taking the comments into consideration. It's obvious that the brony fandom will have an independent article in the future, but I think I split the article too prematurely. Rainbow Dash !xmcuvg2MH 22:24, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
