[edit] User:Chiefsfan364/Pizza

Bizarre, unencyclopedic essay. I'm not sure what this is, but I'm sure it isn't helping us write an encyclopedia. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - It may have been intended as humor (and failed completely) or as evangelization against pizza (real POV). Fails either way. John Carter 23:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, though it made me laugh, articles like this one shouldn't be included on Wikipedia. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 23:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • "Articles"? This isn't an article. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 16:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Anything but the pizza - maybe as a brief, diverting little section on a user page , this would be fine. But a user subpage devoted to this seems a tad too much, in terms of encyclopedic helpfulness. Gracenotes^T § 01:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep....kinda - Only reason, is I find it kinda funny. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 09:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I presume that is basically a delete, given there's a lot of funny stuff on Wikipedia which still violates our core policies and guidelines? 08:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
    • With respect, please don't try and interpret someone else's vote according to your viewpoint. Leave it to the user in question to place their vote. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 16:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. We have a long history of funny little essays in userspace. If you want to change that, you need a bigger policy change. Abeg92contribs 11:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • There hasn't been an MfD on one of these "funny little essays in userspace" in a while. This deals with the issue of these kind of comments quite nicely. Daniel Bryant 08:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with Abeg92, and, either way, "failed evangelization" is a horrible reason. POV isn't a big reason here, essays are supposed to be (at least a little) POV. Anyways, it is not an article. Protect Tomato Rights!_{(sign the petition!)}
  • Hence why it's at MfD? Daniel Bryant 08:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOT a free web host. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, not funny, not encyclopedic, no conceivable purpose in building an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a free web host. Also the colors and fonts are offensive. —ptk✰fgs 17:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Throw it in the trash can. I think the pizza is beginning to rot. YechielMan 18:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It's in userspace, and completely harmless. This user is an active and valued contributor who doesn't deserve to have their userspace smashed apart for no good reason. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 18:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Active only in their userspace? Per After Midnight below. Daniel Bryant 08:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - This "active/valued" contributor has 595 edits, 544 of which are in User/User talk namespaces. Wikipedia is not social networking. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 00:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, harmless userspace essay. And as someone pointed out we have a history of those on Wikipedia. Gateman1997 03:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • See above. Daniel Bryant 08:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Send to Uncyclopedia. Funny, but doesn't belong here. bibliomaniac15 20:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

  You can't Uncyclofy; it has an incompatible license. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I'd just like to know where this current fad for deleting people's user subpages comes from. We tell users (quite correctly) that they can't fill the mainspace or projectspace up with trivial content. Fair enough. So they put it in their userspace, thinking it'll be safe, and it still gets MfD'd. Not to mention, Wikipedia is full of trivial humorous community pages. WP:HOLIC? WP:FUN? Wikipedia:List of cabals? The entire category "Wikipedia humor"? None of which are even in userspace. If you want to be consistent, nominate all of those for deletion. Then, and only then, would there be a sound argument for deleting this page. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 16:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment -I completely support Walton. His comment pertains directly, and, besides, this one seems to be completely fine. It violates no rules. There's nothing wrong with this. Protect Tomato Rights!_{(sign the petition!)}

• Other than violating longstanding policy (as in WP:NOT, no, there's nothing wrong with that. And it ain't no "current fad", MFD used to be filled with them until the PROD procress cut down on the workload. I've tagged about 1500 of them in the last several months. --Calton | Talk 12:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

• My major query still stands, though: why are there pages in projectspace like Wikipedia:Whacking with a Wet Trout, which bear no relation to building the encyclopedia, that are never challenged? Yet a user creates a harmless joke essay, and everyone starts tearing into it. If you MfD pages like this, then for the sake of consistency, you need to MfD virtually everything in Category:Wikipedia humor. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 15:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. MySpace? That-a-way. --Calton | Talk 12:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This page undermines the credibility of Wikipedia and does not assist in the making of a factual encyclopedia. Computernurd22 (talk)(autograph book) 01:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Wait, everyone who vote delete, please tell me HOW exactly this would hurt you/wikipedia? It's a harmless sub-page of a harmless user who likes to make a joke or two from time to time (albeit, dumb jokes). For God's sake, let the man get it out of his system and keephis dignity. Stop being nit-picking little bureaucrats. It is, after all, part of HIS personal userpage. And, again, how does it hurt anything exactly? - Bagel7 04:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
