Dead baby jokes
A list of jokes. Delete. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:27, 31 July 2005 (UTC) :A: The link is red after we Delete it as non-encyclopedic. But I could imagine a future article under this name working (however bad the jokes are). CanadianCaesar 01:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Q: What's red and sits in a highchair?
 * Strong redirect to joke. If we look at the history of the article, this started out as a redirect page.  If we look at the joke article, they cover dead baby jokes, with an actual discussion, not just examples.  CanadianCaesar 01:07, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unfortunately, the "dead baby joke" is a longstanding subgenre of "gross joke" in American humor. A redirect only would be ok, too, but the article is definitely not to be kept. Geogre 03:23, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * There's a perfectly good chapter of Dead Baby Jokes in the Jokebook. As per CanadianCaesar, revert to the redirect. Uncle G 11:43:12, 2005-08-01 (UTC)
 * Redirect Some time ago I actually searched for that in Wikipedia and was surprised to find a redirect.  Grue   19:38, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to avoid this in the future. Pavel Vozenilek 20:54, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to joke.  ral  315  21:32, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect or just plain Keep. Why are we taking real things out of the encyclopedia? Brodo 23:06, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Because Wikipedia is not a Big Book of Everything. It is an encyclopaedia.  We already have a Big Book of Jokes.  We've had it since 2004.  It's silly to duplicate effort by starting a second one. Uncle G 02:36:46, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * Redirect, like it was before-LtNOWIS 01:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect and hopefully no one will try to recreate the jokes themselves. DS1953 13:55, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect. violet/riga (t) 23:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
