Is Analysis.Todd In The Shadows a proper Analysis page? It seems a little fishy to me - I'm not sure what is actually being analyzed.

I think he's analyzing the songs but the links and descriptions don't make that clear, nor do they share pertinent information.

For the record, The Room has the same story

Regardless of what should go on a page, my initial thought on reading the original post was Weblinks Are Not Examples

Well, weblinks should not be the sole content of any wiki article (except maybe in the Image Links namespace). Analysis is no exception. Our articles should contain original writing, not copypasta and not links to someone else's work. We aren't getting paid for referrals.

So they should be zapped?

I slapped a few of them on the cutlist. If a mod wants to keep them around, it's up to them.

I don't read analysis pages all that much, but the Todd in the Shadows one does not look like an analysis page to me at all.
