	::::You have a point, albeit tenuous for this one page. Let's let consensus work here for a few days. If Peter, of ALL people, finds the site humorous enough to create a category for future pages, then others may find it enjoyable enough. Besides, the information there remains accurate, and a BSG toaster "is" really a Cylon (just not the bread-using kind). And, frankly, Ricimer, I know this article was good for me as you and Jzanjani's antics haven't made me laugh much in the last few days. I don't know, maybe the "frak" page could use a little levity...heh-heh. And, let's see what Joe says about it.

			The article is definitely necessary, as is mention of the joke in a certain S1 episode(an actual toaster alerting beings derogatively ''called'' "toasters"). [[User:ZeldaTheSwordsman\|ZeldaTheSwordsman]] 19:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I have before expressed my personal belief that while certain of our "extra" articles may be fun (drinking games and such), turning this actual term from the series into a "silly" article has added nothing to it. The crux of it, is that as BSWiki editors, it is our responsibility to strive for accuracy, Non-POV statements, etc. "Toaster" is an actual term on the series. Making changes to it has shown that we have fallen away from our own high standards. At least, the high standards that I would like us to maintain, if I were in a position to do so.

This decision must be made, and for the sake of accuracy, and the long-term standards which this wiki hopes to uphold, I for one support returning it to a standardized article. 5 by 5. --[[User:The Merovingian\|The Merovingian]] 04:42, 20 February 2006 (EST)		Further: The two chief supporters of this current version seem to be Spencerian and April Arcus; Joe never commented on it one way or the other.
