• I saw this and went "what the...?" Delete. AlbertR 22:42, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Non-encyclopedic. Punkmorten 22:59, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Non-encyclopedic. Zpb52 23:38, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or transwiki to Wikibooks. DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Q: What's red and sits in a highchair?

:A: The link is red after we Delete it as non-encyclopedic. But I could imagine a future article under this name working (however bad the jokes are). CanadianCaesar 01:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• Strong redirect to joke. If we look at the history of the article, this started out as a redirect page. If we look at the joke article, they cover dead baby jokes, with an actual discussion, not just examples. CanadianCaesar 01:07, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Unfortunately, the "dead baby joke" is a longstanding subgenre of "gross joke" in American humor. A redirect only would be ok, too, but the article is definitely not to be kept. Geogre 03:23, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• There's a perfectly good chapter of Dead Baby Jokes in the Jokebook. As per CanadianCaesar, revert to the redirect. Uncle G 11:43:12, 2005-08-01 (UTC)
• Redirect Some time ago I actually searched for that in Wikipedia and was surprised to find a redirect.  Grue  19:38, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to avoid this in the future. Pavel Vozenilek 20:54, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to joke. ral315 21:32, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect or just plain Keep. Why are we taking real things out of the encyclopedia? Brodo 23:06, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Because Wikipedia is not a Big Book of Everything. It is an encyclopaedia. We already have a Big Book of Jokes. We've had it since 2004. It's silly to duplicate effort by starting a second one. Uncle G 02:36:46, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
• Redirect, like it was before-LtNOWIS 01:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect and hopefully no one will try to recreate the jokes themselves. DS1953 13:55, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. violet/riga (t) 23:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
