Lightbulb joke (dog): list of unremarkable jokes. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:10, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Isn't there a wikijokes, other than BJAODN? At any rate, there wasn't one for the American Eskimo Dog, so it must go. (Delete for being a joke list.) Geogre 03:13, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • There is already Lightbulb joke. Merge, if you the Lightbulb joke article should exist in the firstplace. Darksun 09:53, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • If everyone thinks this one should be deleted, then Lightbulb joke (university) should be too. I made this page since it was a related topic. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 14:18, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. The lightbulb joke is ubiquitous and deserves some discussion, which is provided in the Lightbulb joke article--which also provides a huge list of other lightbulb jokes. I think it would be hard to discuss the lightbulb joke without providing a lot of examples, and this is yet another variation. However, if insisted upon, I could see it being merged with the rest of the article, since there are already long ones there (such as the lawyer one). Elf | Talk 15:45, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Don't merge. Either delete or keep, but don't merge. The main article should not consist minority niche jokes. Trekker jokes and long jokes should probably be separated too. I'd say that one needs to write some explanation for the list (when the jokes started, who uses them, in what groups/forums, etc., why there is desire to use the LB joke format for everything even outside the traditional realm of stereotyped people...) to make it justified.

  • keep. KeyStroke
  • Delete. I don't see why this is any more deserving of its own article than, say, the philosophical or occupational lightbulb jokes. All of which I like, but why not just link to collections of dog and university and what-have-you lightbulb jokes in an external links section and take a representative sample of jokes for the (rather unwieldy) lightbulb joke article?

  • Delete and Transwiki to Wikibooks, same w/ Lightbulb joke (university) and most of Lightbulb joke, these huge lists of jokes don't really belong here. —siroχo 05:43, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
