Smashed potatoes that look like Squidward
Let's be honest here. This object is absolutely too minor to warrant a page. However, people are constantly defending and taking the page way too seriously over just a stupid joke. That shows how toxicly edgy our community has become day after day. That, over the utter influence and uselessness of page itself, is why it should be pulled anytime soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vemsa (wall • contribs).

- Fairly Strong Keep - It has a decent amount of information, which means people worked hard on that page, even if it is minor. They'd probably be upset to see all there hard work thrown away like that just because it's a minor object. It deserves a page on the wiki, but people shouldn't over-dramatize it and worship it. I agree the joke has gone too far, but keeping the page will probably stop all the drama. - JustYes, who's had enough of this.
- Keep - It has enough information. -CartoonGuy277 (August 16, 2019)
- Keep - It has the most info of all minor pages and it deserves to stay, don't call this place "Encyclopedia" if it doesn't have information on everything in the subject it covers. Jasbre (M•C•E) 12:52 PM, August 16, 2019 (MST)

- This is something I will never regret - It may have a decent amount of info, but it's way too minor and I don't know why you guys even want to keep it. I mean, seriously. IloGaming4 (M•C•E)
- Keep - Enough Information, Isn't a Stub. Squiddypop M·C·E 14:11, August 24, 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - While it is minor, it does have a decent amount of info to it, and even though it's only in one episode, it still is a part of SpongeBob anyways, and this is a SpongeBob encyclopedia. :— 1033Forest [talk] 18:43, August 24, 2019 (UTC)
- Remove - Merge with Krabby Soup. - Yes this is part of SpongeBob, but let's be frank, its role in the series is way more minor than denotes a full article, as it only appears in "There's a Sponge in My Soup" for about a second. The page only has a good amount of info because people have extended the page trying to justify it being kept, but most of that information is just an overly descriptive section describing what they look like, something most other pages don't really have at all. I've said this before on other articles, but at best this deserves a sub-section on the Krabby Soup page with about a paragraph's worth of information. What, are we going to make pages on "an old Krabby Patty" and "two moldy pickles" next? I think this page is funny, but let's be rational here, we are definitely overstating the importance of this incredibly brief gag. CompliensCreator00 message wall 15:48, August 25, 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - JustYes is right, let's take this seriously and, when the discussion ends, we can keep it an innocent meme. -CartoonGuy277 (August 16, 2019)
- Comment - Let's vote on article standards, not joke standards. AK World (W•C•E) 19:49, August 16, 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - And that is what i'm doing, stripping away all the lore, jokes, etc. voting on pure facts and the fact that Vesma is removing votes because they don't like them is just pushing me to keep the page more because they're censoring and trying to control the vote when everyone has their own voice, and they deserve to be heard Jasbre (M•C•E) 1:02 PM, August 16, 2019 (MST)

- Comment - That was pretty rude. But you've posted comments like that in the past, so it's kind of expected. AK World (W•C•E) 22:17, August 16, 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - Guys I know it's minor but you salty people have to appreciate everyone else's hard work. - JustYes. Please consider her thoughts.
- Comment - Yes! Yet they don't listen nor care and just want the page gone because some people made it a meme. When I pointed this out Matchy said he'll delete request Stick Buddy, but doesn't an encyclopedia have info on EVERYTHING it covers? If not, this wiki title is a clear lie. Jasbre (M•C•E) 2:22 PM, August 16, 2019 (MST)
- Comment - Google says this about the definition of encyclopedia - a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject and typically arranged alphabetically. Key word: Many, not everything. FireMatch (W•C•E) FireMatch (talk) 01:31, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - If we're gonna pick apart Google definitions, this wiki isn't entirely arranged alphabetically either. --JustInCaseTheDingusRunsAway (talk) 14:23, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Does it matter if the name is entirely true or not? That wasn't my point to begin with. No offense, but everyone that wants this gone can't seem to respect the hard work put into the page. Jasbre was right about them being mad that it's a meme now, and everyone else apparently won't stop to consider my thoughts. - JustYes. Consider her thoughts.
- Comment - in case you guys didn't know, this entire wiki is a meme at this point. there is even a "no context encyclopedia spongebobia" account on twitter. so if you hate memes so much, just delete the whole wiki while you're at it. Chuck123456 (M•C•E) 15:29, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - this is the most hilarious discussion ever why do you need a page about SMASHED POTATOES im wheezing --akumi (talk) 20:17, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Can everyone here please calm down and take a moment to look at this discussion? This is a deletion request for a mostly minor page - there is no need for the behavior shown here. No need to insult each other, remove votes to sway an outcome, or make unproductive comments about the general shape of the wiki. This is not a good look for the community and I ask that everyone review their behavior and their comments before they post again.
