"There is of course no recognized penguin language"—indeed, so why do we have an article about it? The answer, from the creator: "for consistency of links in Simpsons article [i.e. Homer Simpson, the only article that links to it]." Delete. —No-One Jones (m) 21:28, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. I can't see any potential for this to become a real article. Shane King 00:30, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • "So, do you think they'll do a new edition of Mrs. Gaskill this year? I'm not sure, but I understand they're looking for translators who can render The Satyricon into Edwardian prose so that it's more in keeping with the language favored by Penguin." Delete an article about a negative and probably designed to keep Pengu from being an orphan. Geogre 01:40, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • There, now nothing links to it. No reason to keep (as if there were before). Delete. -R. fiend 01:42, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, but I think this qualifies for BJAODN as an excellent example of ODN. It may even be serious, and it's been around since January. Andrewa 13:39, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, not funny enough for BJAODN. Wile E. Heresiarch 23:17, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Penguins can't talk and there doesn't appear to be any serious pop culture notability. Everyking 01:46, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete unless Tux starts talking Passw0rd 16:35, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • In all fairness, I reckon it should probably be deleted - and I wrote the thing! I still think it's quite amusing, but it's a gag, not an article. To be honest, I'm amazed it lasted this long... --HappyDog
  • Just a note, 'written in Pengiun' means a fresh literal almost word for word translation into English, source 'The Last Samurai'.--Jondel 06:59, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and move to BJAODN, which I think it honestly deserves. I mean come on, it's funny! Suntiger 21:00, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete nonsense - --Cyprus2k1 10:40, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
