Stand-up comedy clichés
Delete The article is completely unsourced and unverifiable. Much of it is original research and speculation. There are point of view issues as well, such as segmenting cliched jokes by race. It fundamentally violates the policy that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This article was subject to a previous AfD debate which ended in no consensus in May, since then no discernable improvement or attempt to add sources has been made, in fact the article continues to deteriorate into Original Research. Enough time has been given to see this turn into a useful article. Gwernol 12:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. MER-C 13:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research, manfully resisting the temptation to employ comedy cliches here. There being no objective definition of what constitutes a stand-up comedy cliche, not much else matters. Guy 13:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject matter is inherently NPOV, so it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. --Aaron 16:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
