April Fools


this page makes so much vandalism :)--DJ EV (talk) 11:09, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Push to mainspace There are enough sources to make this a legitimate article. Self referential articles be damned :) --Hammersoft (talk) 13:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete recursively. I love a good joke, and even a bad one sometimes, but the vast majority of "jokes" here on April 1 are simply not funny, and anything that encourages a bunch of amateur comedians to do the same old quazi-vandalism year after year, well, it isn't helpful and is more distracting than amusing.  Seriously look, there is nothing remotely unique or novel about any of these any more.  It has been done to death.  Maybe the whole "lets vandalize Wikipedia on 4-1" thing needs to be retired.  I wish I was joking, but I'm not.  Dennis Brown - 2¢  © Join WER 15:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Push to mainspace jeez, what a killjoy. just because you don't find stuff funny doesn't mean the rest of us don't. besides, it links to the rules for fools, which are followed. nothing in article space, excluding humorous Afd's, per tradition. -- Aunva6talk - contribs  17:30, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete jeez, what a happy harry you are. just because you find stuff funny, doesn't mean there aren't people out there who don't find this kind of crap indefensible, flat out stupid and about as funny as an outbreak of Herpes in a colony of Eunuchs. it works both ways, Aunva6.

 * Keep Too broad for mainspace, unless we want to limit it to Wikipedia April Fools pranks that have received coverage in reliable sources. Don't delete, as laughter is good for the soul. --BDD (talk) 20:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * finally, someone with common sense and a sense of humor -- Aunva6talk - contribs 20:57, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Is there anything to be gained from deleting all those joke XfDs/RfAs all at once? Probably not. Frankly, I have yet to see evidence that things such as BJADON and joke AfDs condones vandalism. The problem with these mass deletions is the possibillity of demoralising current long-standing editors - I understand that we're all here to build an encyclopaedia, but couldn't we have ourselves a laugh sometime? hmssolent \Let's convene My patrols 02:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Mainspace please The nomination reason was funny indeed! I don't know whether this is a joke for April Fools' or a real deletion discussion because I'm really mbahfvbmsav after those MFD nominations of those RFA nominations. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 03:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:IAR (as it should not affect namespace articles) and tradition. However, there needs to be a guideline on what is accepted and where it is. -- w L &lt;speak&middot;check&gt; 04:13, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Reading through the jokes here is good for some laughs and the idea that it encourages vandalism is not true. As far as I am aware, no articles are being vandalized, and the idea that joke AfDs on april fools' day are vandalism just doesn't fly with me.  If anything we need to find a new system.  Articles for deletion/Satan was pretty funny and original and it's a shame that more people didn't get a chance to see it. Ryan Vesey 04:38, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Yet another joke MfD turned half serious by those without a sense of humor (albeit by proxy here, as none of them bothered to show up/post). Also, see my suggestion at bottom of this one. Ansh666 05:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep obviously, per WP:HUMOR — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep – a valuable record f Wikipedia's history and culture. Graham 87 09:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and god damn it, this nomination was clearly a joke and it could be closed as speedy keep if it weren't for that one delete vote. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 10:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
