On TV Tropes, it shows the problem, if this were CamelCase as an article, it would be "East Penis Land".
Stub Template
editI see, "You can help Wikipedia by expanding it" at the bottom of the page, yet the page is semi-protected. I believe that it defeats the purpose of the stub template, especially if something is indefinitely semi-protected, but I am looking at this from an unregistered user's perspective. I realize that autoconfirmed users can access it, though. GreyMatterEchoUKfan (talk) 10:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but permanent semi-protection is needed here. The article is protected because a few 10 year olds decided that penis jokes never get old and needed this article to vent their puerile sexual frustration. If you review the edit history, you'll find the last valid edit to the article was August 20, 2011. In fact, in the four years this article has been here, after hundreds of edits here's what has changed: the infobox has been changed (to match the changing template), a wikilink was added and the heading "Fauna" was added. EVERYTHING else has been tweens making dick jokes. File this under "This is why we can't have nice things" and move on. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:29, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- I totally agree with the semi-protection. I'm not a ten-year old but a 50-year old man with a PhD, and I wouldn't have stopped myself from adding a few subtle references, especially due to the fact that, as a Canadian, I feel proud that Pen Island is part of my country. 47.54.70.16 (talk) 09:50, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
It's protected because a bunch of trolls with the maturity of a seven year old boy after gym class keep erasing the space between pen and island as if it's the funniest thing ever. User:Malcolmmwa (talk) 18:27, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Notable joke or just locker room talk?
editSo I actually decided to do some research into the "Penisland" meme to see if anything developed out of it. It turns out that all I could find were scant notable sites talking about some website that sells pens. I would say that the name link has no independent notability in the comedy world. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:06, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
