It's your opinion wether something is funny or not. Yowuza ZX Wolfie  18:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: Sorry about my crappy reason, my brother really wanted to go on the computer and was looking over my shoulder so I had to type it quickly... Yowuza ZX Wolfie  16:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok... it violates WP:NPOV Yowuza  ZX Wolfie  17:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:LC items 2, 4, 8, 9, and 10. Stifle (talk) 18:12, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete POV nightmare, listcruft. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep if we can find sources verifying that whomever really is a "funny animal". Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. "Funny animal" is a term of art used to refer to cartoon animals with humanoid characteristics - it's not the subjective criterion you've made it out to be. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 18:56, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In response to the modified deletion rationale, how does this list violate NPOV? I'm really not seeing it. NPOV generally applies when there are multiple perspectives on an issue, and I seriously doubt that there's anyone out there claiming that Bugs Bunny isn't a cartoon character. (For instance.) Zetawoof(&zeta;) 20:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Zetawoof's right. Funny animal is a recognized term, used to refer to a genre of animated or cartoon characters who are basically anthropomorphized animals (e.g. Bugs Bunny or Howard the Duck). It has nothing to do with a subjective evaluation of humor. Fumoses (talk) 19:12, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, another list we don't need. MrMarkTaylor2 (talk) 01:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Nominator's rational is fundamentally flawed - The term funny animal has nothing to do with whether you find it amusing. Edward321 (talk) 14:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and trim, possibly merge into funny animal. This is a real used term to describe a particular once-common comic-book genre, but this list stretches the concept beyond all reasonable recognition.  I don't think anybody really considers The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a "funny animal" work, but it's in there, for some reason. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe moving to, say, List of "funny animals" in media would be better. Yowuza  ZX Wolfie  16:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Another hodgepodge list that stretches the concept of "media" and "funny" to the fraying point. Though kudos are in order for Touché Turtle making the list...but where is Dum Dum? Ecoleetage (talk) 18:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
