MegaRace Transcript
No pithy quotes, just a long (possibly copyvio) transcript, complete with sound effects and camera directions, of the game's introductory movie. Author removed prod without making any effort to fix. — Ubiquity 17:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Note The editors of this page tried to remove the VFD notice, and then when that didn't work they copied its content to a new page and blanked the original. I have rewired the VFD to point to the new page. --Ubiquity 00:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikiquote is not and cannot be a transcription service, which is exactly what at least one editor stated he wants this article to be. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you HATE what's on there? -- Article's Creator
 * It's not a question of liking or hating. I love Mystery Science Theater 3000 and have created a personal scene-transcription webpage collection that makes our excessively large article look like a Post-It note. But it isn't the purpose of Wikiquote to collect these huge tracts of material. We are looking for a select, non-copyright-violating set of fairly short quotes that can be considered of general interest because of their original, memorable, pithy phrasing. Even if we could legally do it, our goal is not to serve as the place to go for scene transcriptions and other material of interest only to serious fans of the subject. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Where and How could I put the transcript now?! -- Article's Creator
 * Without permission from the game's owners, probably nowhere public. It's most likely a copyright violation (seems too long to be fair use). Even if you solve that problem, I'm not aware of any publicly contributable site which sponsors transcripts. But that certainly doesn't mean it should be kept here. --Ubiquity 19:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In theory, you could start a blog (on Myspace or the like), and post whatever you want. Still wouldn't resolve the potential copyright issue. BD2412 T 09:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
