The creator of Sonic.exe is a controversial person and Jeff The Killer had people creating [Name] the Killer onto the creepypasta wiki and it was bad to the point where Jeff The Killer was removed

Also they're both filled with cliches and badly written

@Emilysweetheart i am aware that the creator of Sonic.exe is a terrible scumbag, but we cannot erase history. And i know that it's filled with cliches and they are badly written, but again, i don't understand why we cannot make an exception for something as historically important to creepypasta culture and general internet culture as these things, i do not support or defend the original creator of Sonic.exe, but as horrible as he is, just because someone is a terrible person doesn't mean they didn't have an undeniable effect on the world at large, i wish it wasn't that way, i wish everyone who had the capibility of changing the world wasn't a piece of shit, but unfortunately its not something anyone can change. The Shining is an extremely praised and reevered movie and also Stanley Kubrik was like a piece of shit throughout the entire production of it and for some reason focused on abusing one of the main actresses. It's still one of the most influential and important pieces of media in the world, for better AND for worse. You can't even apply that logic to JTK as while there's claims and evidence to who made it, nothing is directly confirmed, and again, as bad as it is it's still historically important. I again bring up the fact that Dead Bart is still on the website and it is also very bad and is the origin of a lot of really overused lost episode cliches, but that doesn't mean its not historically important, therefor it should be kept on the wiki, and it is. Why doesn't this apply to JTK and Sonic.exe? I'm not saying allow "The Killer" and .exe pastas (as much as i've argued they can be good), i'm just saying make an exception to some of the most important aspects of internet horror history and culture, you are already doing that with a decent amount of classic historical pastas that aren't relatively good. and anyone with a brain that actually gives 2 fucks about creepypasta knows that they're bad and not representative of creepypasta culture, and anyone who doesn't understand that, probably either hates or doesn't care about creepypasta anyways.

Well, ask the team on why the removed Jeff The Killer and Sonic.exe

Or heck, ask Willaim See on why they removed Jeff The Killer and Sonic.exe

We did a lot of internal discussion. Neither of them are being brought back.

If they haven’t been reinstated in nearly a decade, theres probably a solid communal backing towards it, its not just a staff decision.

Ur so right man seems like real Hypocritical of them. also ur right with it being important to creepypasta history in general.

There's a concrete reason that Dead Bart is still here while Sonic.exe and JTK are not. Dead Bart actually predates this wiki, which means that Dead Bart easily counts as a story in its "Historical Archive" (as indicated by the first category on the story), which contains a lot of stories which aren't deleted even if they are subpar because they are very old.

Sonic.exe was first posted in 2011 and the Jeff the Killer story that was deleted from this site was also first posted in 2011 (the 2008 one isn't the story you're thinking of), so they can't be in the Historical Archive because they were very concretely created after 2010.

The two stories are not that influential or important in the grand scheme of people's writing, but they have made waves as their own ideas in their own ways.
