[edit] Crystal ball
This page is a clear violation of policy and a perfect example of what Wikipedia is not. --UsaSatsui (talk) 16:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC) UsaSatsui (talk) 16:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - it looks like a perfectly good article to me, although it could use some references. Is this nomination an April Fools' Day prank? -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 16:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Ahhh...don't know what to say about this but Crystal balls in this capacity are Notable and can be referenced and have been a part of culture around the world. The article could use some more references and citations sure but I really don't think that this should have come to AfD. Hmmm.... but does it violate WP:CRYSTAL!?!?!? {smile}. Any others that feel this should maybe a speedy and close?--Pmedema (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

- Delete It's the very epitome of what WP:CRYSTAL aims to keep out. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)The preceding user was already featured for an April Fools 2008 prank he perpetrated.
- Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, ignoring common WP:SENSE. -- Escape Artist Swyer Talk to me Articles touched by my noodly appendage 23:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - If we do not define what a Crystal ball is, how can we base a Policy (yes, Policy) around the term? Clearly a notable term, well used in various media. Hopefully a April Fools Nomination. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 23:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and improve; clearly a very notable term and concept even if the article itself is lame. csloat (talk) 05:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
