Some of these would be contrary to NPOV anyway. :-) Apart from that
some of this information could always be added later.
Whether it was good or bad violates NPOV. What the fans think about
it would be fine, if there was a published story which said what fans
thought about it. Obviously if not it would either be non-verifiable
or violate NOR, right? Whether or not the jokes were funny violates
NPOV. Whether or not it was the first time Rachael [sp?] kissed Ross
would be the part that I personally still don't think should be in
there without a source other than the episodes themselves. But that
would require using every single episode previously run as a "source".
Personally I'd say to find a reliable source which states that that
was the first time they kissed, or else the world has to do without
that useless bit of information.
Of course, as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't be terribly sad if all
the articles about non-free fictional works moved to Fictionpedia.
Especially the plot summaries, which are really non-free derivative
works in themselves, though they generally fall under fair use of
course.
