Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Talk

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was BJAODN (where it will be kept), but delete projectspace page. This is the consensus, and, I think, a fair compromise result, especially given that a fair number of the "keep" commenters were interested primarily in the page's humor value.

[edit] Wikipedia:Talk

Nonsense frat joke or something. Previous redirect to Wikipedia:Talk pages was reverted. -- Jeandré, 2006-06-23t21:55z

• Oh, give me a break! This page has existed for how long? Linuxbeak (AAAA!) 22:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
  • By the way. That means Oppose. Sorry. Linuxbeak (AAAA!) 23:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Does Oppose mean you oppose the page or the deletion? I'm all for Delete the thing myself. ~Kylu (u|t) 07:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete May be old but is nonetheless completely useless for all purpouses. --Ultimus 23:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Wikipedia:Talk pages; more useful than what is currently there. —Mira 01:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Mackensen (talk) 03:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Wikipedia:Talk pages err, Help:Talk page (that'll teach me to check links first...). Not only is it pointless, but its name makes it very likely that users looking for talk page info will end up with this nonsense instead, which is potentially confusing. BryanG^(talk) 05:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. FYI, Wikipedia:Talk pages is itself a redirect to Help:Talk pages. Jude (talk) 05:50, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep to avoid senseless double redirect. It's like Esperenza, but with beer. Yanksox ^(talk) 05:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • So what, just link to Help:Talk page instead to avoid the double redirect. BryanG^(talk) 06:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    • The two terms don't really connect and make for a logical redirect. If you are looking for Wikipedia:talk, I really doubt you are looking for a help page. Also, no one will find the page, it just doesn't really make sense to redirect it, when it won't be used. Yanksox ^(talk) 06:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Very strong for BJAODN the current content, then redirect to Help:Talk page. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 07:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It's doing no harm and is no different to the coffee lounge. --Quentin Smith 12:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect --Burgwerworldz 04:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for humor value. Wikilinked in case anyone needs a definition :) Opabinia regalis 17:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as a BJADON subpage, and then this page as a redirect to Help:Talk pages. Titoxd^(?!?) 19:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Unbelievable. Probably ought to be redirected somewhere, but ought to preserved in some form or other for the historical record. Are there any other tree houses out there? Weird. TheGrappler 22:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Mackensen. --Zoz (t) 11:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• BJAODN and then delete. This is going a bit too far Borisblue 15:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Absolutely ridiculous page; for those arguing no harm done, I was trying to find Help:Talk_pages and got this rubbish instead. As for keeping it for humor value, just BJAODN it instead. And then redirect this page. Crito2161 17:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Despite what some people are claiming, a quick look at the first lines of the page confirm that it's trying to hide itself, the history shows it's only been around for a year and never put to use, and Whatlinkshere confirms that this page links to nothing, so there's no danger that deleting it will create a bunch of redlinks.--M@rēino 21:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• It was funny while it was a secret. Now that it's been exposed, the joke's over. Reluctant delete. Rossami (talk) 22:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't even see why there is an argument for this page. It's just a mess of garbage.Pageblank 04:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• BJAODN, then delete, as per Crito2161. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 22:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete wikipedia isn't a public chat room.. is it?--Andeh 02:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Note: added to BJAODN here. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 07:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

  Requesting the page be moved at the close rather than copied for preserving the history. ~ PseudoSudo 13:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
