Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/People for deletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This covers the following:

• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense: The next generation/People for deletion
• Wikipedia:People for deletion (redirect page)
• WP:PFD (redirect page)
• Template:Pfd
• Category:People on people for deletion
• Template:Past-pfd

I only put the notice on the first of these. (Perhaps the category should also get one?)

• I think I stumbled on someone's joke. Do we even want to keep these? (yes, I thought it was funny) --ssd 17:12, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• It's clearly meant as a joke and is even placed in BJAODN. Keep. Mike H 17:13, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)

  I agree mostly, but what about the category, redirect pages, and templates? Surely we don't have to keep all that? --ssd 17:21, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  It was supposed to be a fully-functional joke, apparently. I am indifferent about keeping the other stuff. Mike H 17:23, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)

• I must have missed out on the joke; I'm new here.  :-/ Keep the BJAODN article and remove the others. --Ardonik 18:52, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
• I don't see how this is even remotely funny. Delete this from BJAODN, there's not a thing funny about it. If it's funny to somebody, could you explain what makes it funny? It's just stupid. RickK
• Keep BJAODN variant and delete others. FYI, I created this as a result of a discussion that spiralled out of control on IRC. It originated as a tag in the style of the faux {{insanelydisputed}} tag that can be seen on my user page, and probably makes sense only to the IRC people, but I still find it funny. :P -- Grunt (talk) 20:55, 2004 Jul 17 (UTC)
  • Eh, it's okay. RickK is being really rude, like always. Mike H 20:57, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
    • I ASKED for somebody to explain what makes it funny. You, of course, are your usual obnoxious self. RickK 20:07, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
• If we delete People for deletion, does that mean we're for making more people? Geogre 01:02, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, creator says it "probably makes sense only to the IRC people". OK, keep the BJAODN article (it's not funny, but neither is 95% of the rest of BJAODN), but delete the rest. —Stormie 02:05, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete all but BJAODN. Personally I'd delete the BJAODN one, too--don't think it's funny--too much like "death threat, ha ha, just kidding, be a sport, can't you take a joke?" Anyone remember that old Stephen King story, "Word processor of the gods?" In which someone discovers that when they delete things on their word processor, the thing in the real world also gets deleted? Dpbsmith 16:26, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
