I.P. Freely
Just a joke name. We don't need an article on every joke ever made by kids in a playground (or on The Simpsons). sjorford 10:19, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. This is patent nonsense. --Carnildo 10:55, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's rubbish and nonsense, but sadly not patent nonsense as it is readable. It is, however, not even slightly worthy of an encyclopedia article, even if it were true.  Which I'm sure it isn't.  Smoddy | Talk 12:36, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable. And no, Al Coholic, Homer Sexual, Mike Crotch and their humerous friends don't need pages either. Rje 13:49, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. The concept might be worth an article, but you couldn't find it under this title, even if you wanted to. Deb 14:09, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Certainly does not merit own article. Believe this might be intended as humorous vandalism, i.e. symbolic urination into Wikipeedia (motto: we're number one!) Could conceivably be worth a mention or listing in some article about children's folk culture if actually researched and not just someone's off-the-cuff reminiscence. I question its accuracy, as in my elementary school, it was "I. P. Daley," which is a better joke since Daley is a common surname. I don't suppose any schoolkids are geographically literate enough to be aware of the Yalu River, which suggests that this particular piece of wit actually originated in the adult world.

 * Delete, though an article on schoolyard humor (if not already written) might be an interesting idea. BTW in my neck of the woods the name was I.P. Nitely. 23skidoo 17:05, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as silly vandalism. Wyss 23:13, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete -- although, at my elementary school, we were all so amused by Lake Titicaca that we never got a chance to be THIS creative. But that's just a peak into my sadly non-notably life. --Christofurio 01:10, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's either vandalism or a speedy candidate. I'd be rather amused to see a list of all those wonderful authors like Claude Balls, Hu Flung Dung, Willy Makit, and Betty Wont. Maybe not here. Abstain giggling. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 03:34, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. until humorpedia is launched. Cleduc 07:24, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
