While I love the show and think it's fantastically made, I struggle to think of any reasons why it needs a page on this website. It isn't very prominent; it's not breached any of the "mainstream" parts of the fandom and has stayed relatively enclosed in the YouTube circle. When looking through our assortment of covered unofficial content, there just doesn't seem to be a place where MIB fits in. Heritage, for example, is significant because of it's legal troubles with Toho and its significance as one of the first "major" fan film productions in the Godzilla fandom. Bambi vs. Godzilla, an unofficial animated short but one that was released in official capacity alongside Godzilla 1985 in the US. And among the others where a MIB page might seem to fit, I think should be looked at from a perspective of "do we need those pages as well?" I can think of at least three other fan content pages that we could probably delete or delegate to a trivia node on related pages.

I think it'll also open the floodgates for a wide berth of fan content on the website that could pose a problem. If MIB is believed to be significant enough to warrant a page, what about [x YouTube show]? Or [other fan content]? What dictates "significance"? It's a gray area.

Again, I love the channel and think it's one of the best (if not the best) Godzilla-related channels on YouTube, but I don't think it follows under our purview. I believe we should let the Godzilla Fanon Wiki cover this one.
