[edit] Wikipedia:Atan(pi/2) Pool

Nonsensical pool. Georgia guy 22:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Weak keep Harmless and highly amusing. A nice bit of humor. If we really need to get rid of it (which I don't see any compelling reason to do so), move it into userspace. JoshuaZ 22:57, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

• Tag as humourous, categorizes in Category:Wikipedia pools, and keep. We have sillier pages than this. YechielMan 00:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and tag as humorous as per YechielMan. I also suggest removing the reassuring "hence will never happen". The eerier the joke, the better. Stammer 07:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Apathetic keep. I think it's important to acknowledge and keep track of the potential for Wikipedia to reach an infinite number of articles. On the other hand, if this page is deleted, I don't think many will cry. Fluck 09:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, tag as humorous. It's amusing, and we do have a sense of humor here, don't we? --MalcolmGin Talk / Conts 12:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per earlier debate here, here and here. The "humor" tag should be used for things that are actually funny. This is not. The "arbitrary pool gag" has been done to death several times, and while the first instance of it is indeed funny, most of the spinoffs are repetitive and, well, boring. >Radiant< 17:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per Radiant. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 16:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, completely arbitrary pool that isn't funny and doesn't help the encyclopedia or its community at all. --Coredesat 22:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Not particularly funny and has no use at all. Christopher Connor 16:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
