This is the pinacle of non-notable holidays. This article is hopeless in terms of salvation. Our only bet is to delete this, wait a bit, and start over. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete An article about a day of joking so the content is clearly false thus the article is joking and must be deleted since it's about a day that's a joke.--Giants 27 ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 19:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * This article is a rabid chipmunk. It must be morphed into a toaster, where a man in a tank will run over it, causing a flat tire. Then, while wondering how he got a flat tire in a vehicle with no tires, the man, the tank, and the toaster, must be run over by a horde of stampeding pro-wrestlers. Sadly, there will be no survivors. Umbralcorax (talk) 19:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keepthis joke stopped being funny after the second time! Dinosaur Dan1 (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Overturn and delete Wikipedia is not a place for jokes. Reach Out to the Truth 19:56, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: April Fools' Day is generally recognized and there are citations throughout the article, so it's not non-notable. In addition, numerous pages link to this article.  A number of the above suggestions are only jokes.  Some of the content in the article may not be notable, though, so cleaning up or rewriting the article may be necessary.

 * So, what you're saying is these jokes aren't funny anymore; they're too close to home and they're too near the bone (more than you'll ever know). Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 20:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was being too serious ("Why so serious?"). D RAGON 280  ( T ALK / C ONTRIBS ) 20:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * No, no, NO! This should be a list, Mandsford!  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 20:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep If this deletion proposal is serious and isn't itself an April's Fool joke; this page is actually one of the most sourced paged. Jon (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Obviously a hoax holiday, so the article should be put through a paper shredder. Also causes stress due to pranks by vandals, which means editors waste time pwning and zapping them into fried pancakes.   Bramble  claw  x   23:17, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
