Bahá'í humor
Wikipedia is not a joke book. An article on the place of humor in the Bahá'í faith or on unique qualities of Bahá'í humor would be encyclopedic, but this is just a collection of jokes. -&#8472;yrop (talk) 02:41, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


 * BJAODN -- it's not exactly a bad joke or other deleted nonsense, but it's funny. However, it is unencyclopedic and should be deleted. N Shar 02:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Modify it -- This could be turned into something more like "Humor in the Faith's History" that could include the occasions in which Abdu'l-Bahá rejoiced in difficult situations or the funny comments he made sometimes, even with deep spiritual meaning. Those accounts would fit better into an encyclopedia I think. danielixto 14:11, January 10, 2006 (UTC)
 * BJAODN per N Shar. I think it's particularly funny that each joke needs an explanation! Pburka 03:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete -- it's unencyclopedic, and should be deleted. -- Jeff3000 04:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unencyclopedic. Blnguyen 03:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikibooks (which arguably is a "joke book"). Crypticfirefly 04:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC) BJAODN (didn't know about the joke book being removed from wikibooks). Or cleanup.  This is a legitimate topic, it is just the execution that it a bit wacky. Crypticfirefly 06:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to wikibooks, I think it should be linked form some of the other relevent articals too. (Signed: J.Smith) 06:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * BJAODN per N Shar Werdna648T/C\@ 09:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The Jokebook has been deleted from Wikibooks, by order of Jimbo 1. Wikibooks will not accept this content, and I will eject it from the transwiki queue if it is placed there. Uncle G 10:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, not funny either Mushintalk 19:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Modify it per danielixto. I think that a treatment of humour within the writings and history is useful, and there are lots of examples.  I do agree this isn't really the appropriate place for a joke book, per-se.  (Though I do like the "spell Huquq" one... didn't see it coming.)  -- Christian Edward Gruber 21:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this collection of jokes as unencyclopedic. BJADON is okay.  &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-11 02:21Z 
 * BJAODN, it's bad, it's a joke, it's nonsense, now delete it! Stifle 23:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic and unfunny. D e nni &#9775;  01:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meh. It needs to be changed to include history of the faith's humor and blah blah blah. Jewish humor is a respected article that demonstrates blah blah blah. Sure the jokes are utter, total, unbelievable holy roller nerdery, but that doesn't invalidate the concept of the article, and it does shed light on the nature of Bahai humor (in that they are utter, total, unbelievable holy roller nerds). --Tysto 01:00, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
