Talk:Wallowing in Pessimism's Mire (anthology)

Did this ever even exist?
I kinda got the impression that this was an in-joke made up by Andrew Hickey and Simon Bucher-Jones. I mean, it was deleted from the Obverse wiki. CoT    ?  02:31, January 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think what happened here was that it was only available for two months. --Pluto2 (talk) 02:36, January 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * The one source of all of this information seems very unrealistic and tongue-in-cheek. CoT     ?  02:41, January 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the only way to settle this is to check through http://archive.org whether or not it was actually there during that period of two months. 03:02, January 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I deleted that Wiki page per request from Stuart Douglas for reasons completely tangential to whether or not it was ever published. He just didn't want it on the Wiki; as I understand it, it was a considerable embarrassment for Obverse. NateBumber ☎  06:26, January 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, the cat is out of the bag on this one, and we all know that this was a hoax. However, might I suggest the recreation of this page explaining the hoax, as an entry in category:fandom? Finding serious information about this hoax without bumping into people purporting the hoax isn't exactly easy, so having a Wiki page explaining the history of the hoax would be genuinely useful, especially seeing as @Najawin, and I'm sure many other readers, genuinely believed this to be real. 📯 📂 19:17, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I would agree that that seems like a good idea. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎  19:26, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I disagree; there have been hundreds or thousands of rumors and hoaxes related to Doctor Who over the last half century, and I don't see why this should be the sole one to receive a page on this wiki. We don't even have a page on the Omnirumour! A page about Wallowing would be a weird and disruptive place to start. – n8 (☎) 22:05, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Agree with User:NateBumber. I know some people think we should cover everything and anything related to DW on this wiki, but in practice that's not what we do. If someone wants to start a sister wiki based on the hundreds of rumors and hoaxes, that would be kinda interesting, but that information won't be posted here.

 * That is good reasoning, I am convinced. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎  09:16, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

While this talk page has died down, it is clear to me now that my request was misguided and shall not be repeated. Wallowing... would be a weird place to start, and as far as I can tell now, it does seem to have existed at somepoint. Definitely. 📯 📂 18:37, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
