This thread is to request that a locked article be unlocked. Please read the guidelines below before making a request.
- Please see Locked Pages and Permanent Redlink Club first. If an article is on the Permanent Redlink Club, it will not be unlocked, ever.
- Pages cut a while ago were automatically locked. Before asking for an unlock, make sure that the article you want to create is in the proper Namespace, has gone through YKTTW if it's a trope, and otherwise fulfills our guidelines for Creating New Pages.
- If you just want to make an edit to an article, post here
instead.
- Don't ask for new Main redirects. Those are only for old articles with lots of existing inbounds.
Original post
I'll start it off: could someone please unlock Hootie And The Blowfish so I can make a new page on it? The last page was cut for being copypasta from Wikipedia.

Edit warring over a self demonstrating description. A link to the now-existing page in Self-Demonstrating/ really should be added to the main article.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.It's even on Locked Pages.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWhile I don't usually trust such claims as they are always lacking in evidence, I can predict the page immediately fill with memespeak as soon as it's unlocked. So, I'd say no.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOh hey, just a reminder that locked page Brian Bendis needs to be a redirect for Brian Michael Bendis.
Edit requests go here
, usually. And this makes me wonder if really need to have two separate threads for unlocking requests and for edit (and locking) requests.

Done. Do you think the new article needs to be locked? I guess we can give it a trial run and find out.
I'm watching the page right now, if I see any excessive Creator Bashing, I'll flag it.
YMMV.Fez needs to be unlocked - there are YMMV items that should go there on the main page.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI think it's probably safe to unlock the page Naruto-The Konoha 12 now. It was (I assume) locked over an Edit War regarding whether Hyuuga Neji fit My Sister Is Off-Limits or Shipper on Deck towards Naruto and Hinata. Since that seems to be pretty well resolved now that he's dead (we're still not sure about the latter, but he's DEFINITELY not My Sister Is Off-Limits now), maybe the page could be unlocked? It's just a pain in the posterior having to jump through hoops to make changes to it and considering the direction of the current story arc we're probably going to need to be making quite a few changes soon.

Always expect the worst and you can only be pleasantly surprised.
Locked that one. ![]()

Unlocked that one. Let's hope it remains civil.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Just as a reminder, other candidates on the previous page were Green Is Blue, Everything Fades and Rainbow Speak. A previous lock request for All Your Colors Combined was accepted under the understanding that none of these laconics have reason to be edited and that there is time to re-unlock them if any such need should arise.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanLaconic.Image Boards and Laconic.Incendiary Exponent have also color markup.
Evil is my favorite color.I agree that neither of them requires color markup.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Girls Und Panzer is locked and blank. Shouldn't it redirect to Girls und Panzer?

I'm no fan of the fandom in question, but I think this sets a bad precedent.
