[edit] Washing Machine Wormholes

Washing Machine Wormholes (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod Seems like original research. 650l2520 23:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, but read it once H.L. Mencken did one of these about the history of the bathtub. The scary thing is, if you leave it up, it will be quoted verbatim by several other internet encylopedias. Mandsford 23:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to BJAODN if that page is restored. DGG 23:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • The creator of the article, Soames1 (talk · contribs), by xyr contributions is clearly a fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and should thus know that it is ball point pens, and not socks, that disappear through wormholes.

    It's a joke article. Delete (or rename to BJAODN). Uncle G 00:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

  • BJAODN seems to be the place for this assuming the copyvio problems are solved. Capitalistroadster 02:07, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. . . just for the fun of it -- John Vandenberg 09:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • BJAODN will always welcome stuff that is moved there (using the move tab) because it maintains attribution. This is no exception. MER-C 09:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. As per WP:BJAODN.--Edtropolis 20:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to BJAODN. Complete garbage, but very funny! — jammycakes (t) 13:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to BJAODN. It's just too good to be outright deleted as a hoax. --EMS | Talk 01:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete ---"...The concept is based on the well-documented sock vortex that exists in domestic washing machine. Most people have experienced one of their socks disappearing for months on end, reappearing when it is no longer needed. This had always presented a duel mystery to scientists, firstly where do the socks go and secondly why are not any other articles of clothing affected..." WTF? This is complete bollocks.--Mike18xx 03:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Obvious parody. —SlamDiego←T 12:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, I just don't find it that funny. -MrFizyx 15:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
