Futurama connections?

So whilst watching this episode I noticed a couple of references towards futurama, but wanted to check here before adding them to the main page. The biggest one being the similarity of the creature to Nibbler, in that they are both small creatures with vast appitites that can (and will) eat anything. In addition to this, Nibbler was also the pet of 'Turanaga' Leela so I am also assuming the naming of Tsuranga is no coincidence either, but obviously there is no actual on-screen evidence to back this up. Thoughts? MadeIndescribable 20:57, November 4, 2018 (UTC)

Turanga and Tsuranga may be a bit far-fetched. I doubt they were thinking of Futurama while scripting this. But I definitely think that there could be mentioned a similarity between the Pting and Nibbler. --DCLM 21:05, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
Similarities to other works are not references. They must either be mentioned in story, in which case they would go in the References section, or they can be mentioned by the production team, in which case they would go in Story Notes with the source. Shambala108 21:12, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
What I meant was obviously in story notes, just to be clear. --DCLM 21:23, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
Normally I wouldn't make the T(s)uranga connection, but with Nibbler/Pting being so similar it does make me think it was a deliberate choice. But without any confirmation I won't add anything to the page. Thanks for the replies.MadeIndescribable 21:40, November 4, 2018 (UTC)

Plot

If you're going to add plot, please ensure you have all the details you need to write at least a mostly fleshed out plot, and not leave blank spaces. Especially not if you're only going to write a few sentences. I propose that the current plot should be removed until a properly written plot section can be added.

The point of a wiki is that everyone edits; it's a gradual process to add things to articles. Then, editors come along and proofread/expand etc. on previously added work. Every article is a work in progress - why remove content when that just creates more work when you can expand bit by bit until it is finally complete?
