"I have some insight. In the late eighties and into the nineties, I ran a small video store. Nintendo was the hottest game in town, and we would have to compete with stores like Blockbuster by relying on games that "weren't out yet". For example, we rented tapes of Super Mario 3 long before it's release in the states. We'd loan out these dongles called Honeybees for the customers to make the games work. We had several companies across the states who would get us new games from Japan. Here is the honest reality about how it was back then - we didn't know that some games would come out in other countries and not here. When we got a new game from Japan - we just assumed we got a game that just wasn't out yet. We had a game we called "Mr. Head" that was a popular title that turned out to really be called Moai Man. If we needed a game translated, we relied on the neighborhood Asian restaurants. We shared some of these names back and forth with each other when we were ordering and creating lists. It's really that simple. If someone wanted a game from our list, we made sure to sell them a Honeybee. Again, not having any idea that it would never get a release in the USA. Do I remember Yeah Yeah Beebis? Of course I do, that was one of the titles that we'd rent. It was a game that required the running pad. I remember because it became a little bit of catch phrase in the store. "Watch the desk, I'm going to the restroom" - "Yeah, yeah beebis, whatever" - Richard"
audio tracks of a translated script are not important
What makes some media more important than other media, in your opinion?
Okay, i will give my honest opinion, one thing i think gives something more significance is the people involved, lets say maybe a show that included works of Tara strong and Tom Kenny goes missing, it would be worth more attention since it included works from big names, or say if was a pilot to a beloved show, since it is a predecessor to something everyone loves and deserves attention for laying the groundwork for the said show, or maybe give it attention due to it not being confirmed to exist, say "yeah yeah beebiss 1", we know just about nothing about yyb1 so should we give it attention, well it is possibly the greatest mystery in video game history so .. yeah, we should give it attention till we have a straight answer
Well, does anyone want to find lost Greeny Phatom episodes, even though it's gonna be useless, since it's not notable? Besides, I don't feel like repeating myself, but Dubs are literally fucking audio tracks, and they don't serve much importance aside from the GoAnimators who think that they belong to a museum.
When you say "just audio tracks", do you mean that all lost audio is not notable, including music or narration?

He got banned at the same time I posted this message. He was banned for repeatedly posting increasingly ridiculous hoaxes, such as... -That he remembered playing a lost 32X game that doesn't exist -That he remembered seeing an animated Sonic the Hedgehog series that doesn't exist -That he somehow found a VHS tape with the world's first TV broadcast but wouldn't be releasing it or providing any proof -And, most infamously, claiming that he found a film reel containing an old racist cartoon (that doesn't exist), and, when finally pressed to provide some shred of evidence, posting this.
After that, he said "I give up", so we assumed that meant he would stop with the dumb hoaxes (hence why he wasn't banned right then). However, just a month later, he was back at it again, so that was when we finally had enough.
So, he got banned for repeatedly derailing actual important research?
"anyone can fix the errors." does not excuse you for bad writing, and it DEFINITELY does not excuse you for not meeting the article rules
I never said it was an excuse for bad writing. We have the editing feature for a reason.
if your article is not meeting the guidelines when it goes up and nobody has edited it then it should be thrown out the window, also if you write bad then you're really being a pain for the people who have clean up after your mess of an article
the only thing people really say to defend dub articles is "lost is lost" no argument on how it is important, no reasons for they're articles to stay, not anything, no excuses for bad writing, just stop with your dubs, they are not worth it
How "important" is Sara & Hoppity? How about the lost skits of Les Minikeums? How "worth it" was Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe In Santa? Most media that gets lost in the first place is due to a lack of interest, but we still search, regardless of how "important" it is. Also, there are no excuses for bad writing unless English isn't your first language. Even if the writing is bad, it will be tagged as "Needing Work", and anyone can fix the errors.
