This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the debate was resubmitted. From what I can see there is only one actual "vote", the one of the nominator Tonywalton. Apart from that there is a lot of commentary, some of which seems somewhat pro-keep. Nonetheless, I cannot see enough information here to make a real decision, so I will resubmit.

Is it not the "Ben Granger" who writes for
Spike Magazine?

I read about this before. Believe it had to do with Memes. [[memes:] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme] There was some more "technical" depth before.(This unsigned edit by 195.92.67.67)
I remember reading about this some years ago in a Manchester-based fanzine. Ben Granger is a rising star in the field of pop culture theorism. Don't know who this Simon Telford fellow is though. (This unsigned edit by StephCarter)
Some guy said it to me at a club night in Manchester a couple of years ago. The DJ was playing a different style of music to what was normally played there(he was playing house music at a breakbeat club night). The guy said something along the lines of "I can't believe what this guy's playing. He's off the f*****g Tomp!" When I asked him to explain what he was talking about he said "You know, off the Tompkinson", and then preceded to tell me that his mate read about this theory of a measurement of culture clash based on a comparison of how much of an outsider the priest from Ballykissangel was. He seemed surprised that I hadn't heard of it since he knew a lot of people who used it for all sorts of situations.(This unsigned edit by 80.176.80.17) 80.176.80.17 15:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC) reply
As per one of the earlier posts I recall reading an article on this issue in a magazine while I lived in Manchester. It was a few years ago, so my memory is a little hazy, but I think it the magazine was called 'sub' (or it was at least something extremely similar). I can't confirm that the whole entry is consistent with the original article (for example I don't recall muslim/wider environment refs) but i'm pretty sure it is at least consistent with the general thrust of the article (in terms of the drama/ comedy tradeoff w.r.t. ballykissangel). Rather than delete the whole entry, would it not be preferable, if necessary, to just tidy it up a little? 62.253.64.15 00:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC) reply
