List of common themes on Uncyclopedia
A fancruftish list and an indiscriminate collection of information. I have absolutely no problem with including an article on Uncyclopedia, but I fail to see the point in creating an article on site-specific memes. Are we going to do this for every single website in cyberspace? Wikipedia may not be paper, but we should take care to keep the signal-to-noise ratio somewhere beyond microscopic. What's next? List of common slang terms among sophomores at Peoira Southern H.S.? I can't see why anyone would want this article. If they wanted to know more about Uncyclopedia, they'd visit the website. Moreover, this page is just begging to become a vanity clearinghouse, and probably already is. Starry Eyes  07:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:OR. -- Koffieyahoo 07:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete hopeless. Kill it now before other websites want similar "lists". Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  10:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge I dont see this as vanity, In fact I have found this article useful, but only in understanding uncyclopedia memes. Could it possibly be stipped down and merged with the Uncyclopedia article? --Amists 11:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Who has written about these themes? Where has the research on the thematic content of Uncyclopedia, upon which a Wikipedia article can be based, already been done?  What source is being used?  How is this not original research? Uncle G 12:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete before List of YTMND fads reappears. Danny Lilithborne 17:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete OR. Piccadilly 18:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with Amist's merge sentiment above, but as there are worries about OR, I guess I'll leave it be. However, I did userfy the page to myself (sans the fair use images, which could still go in the uncyclopedia article) because I think it's too cool to lose forever. Sad that the public won't be able to see it anymore.--Chaser T 18:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge most important themes to Uncyclopedia article. We have a list of Fark cliches in the main Fark article: why remove this entire list when some of it can be effectively and usefully merged? &mdash;   Da rk Sh ik ar i   talk /contribs  00:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to the main Uncyclopedia entry. -- Selmo 21:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete article partially as per nom and merge some of the contents of more notable themes (Oscar Wilde quotes, self-reference, etc), as there may be a use for them on the Uncyclopedia article. ~  Ghelæ  talkcontribs 09:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge useful content into Uncyclopedia, where it belongs. LinaMishima 16:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. NN and sourced only to the website itself, there's a reason it was removed from the main article in the first place. tmopkisn tlka 17:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongest merge possible. I don't want to have to say goodbye to this list (unless there's one on Uncyclopedia itself, in which case delete). Random the Scrambled 16:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't merge it with the article. It was deleted from Uncyclopedia's article becouse it doesn't fit, too long, advertising, etc. Yet it's valuable. I say make it a subpage of the article or a subpage of Parodies.--Rataube 15:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - NN and vanity. Do not merge, this information has no place here and merging would violate style guidelines regarding lists.--Konstable 00:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge - provides some of the themes that confuse *humans* who view Uncyclopedia every now and then.  Daniel . Bryant  13:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
