[edit] School prank

Original research and things made up in school one day. Hardee67 00:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. TJ Spyke 00:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment this was a bad faith nom by a blocked user; however, given that there has since been a delete vote; I didn't want to close it prematurely. Peyna 02:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, apparent non-good-faith nomination, based on admin's deletion of the AfD template. —C.Fred (talk) 02:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Gazpacho 03:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep this is not what "things made up in school one day" is designed to exclude. Silensor 07:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above Konman72 10:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, seems to be entirely original research. --Bakanov (talk • contribs) 11:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep- perfectly acceptable article Martinp23
• Delete This article isnt worthy for an encylcopedia, we all know what a school prank is, also this article seems to be slightly for pranking, including the various methods seems a lot like instructions to me. (Neostinker 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC))
• Delete per above. NCurse _work 14:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Not OR for the most part. I have been out of school for 25 years but have either been on the giving or receiving end of nearly all of the pranks. Ohconfucius 15:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep there are lots of citations in the article and easily meets notability requirements hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 18:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Week delete. Doesn't look very encyclopaedic to me. Too much original research for my liking. Almost implies that there are "official" school pranks. -- Necrothesp 22:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as the nominator has made no valid arguments (school pranks are well known and easily verifiable). — Reinyday, 22:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Just because the article has something to do with school doesn't mean that the nominator can pull out WP:NFT. I agree with Reinyday. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 ^{talk contribs Email} 23:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, not a speedy candidate. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Needs a little rewriting. (Is it me or the triggerhappy deleters are really proliferated lately?) Frigo 22:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Once again Wikipedia snobs show their true colors as Social Control specialists, this information is a knowledge base and can be as rightly pointed out on another page drawn from for articles relating to bullying and playground culture. --Kenscanna 16:57 15th Aug 2006
• Delete. WP is not a how-to guide ... forward it to Wikibooks. Lincher 21:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It's unwelcome info for some, but information none the less. ThuranX 02:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It doesn't look like OR to me, school pranks are a well known phenomenon. Themindset 22:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Reasonably interesting article.Park3r 21:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
