The result of the discussion was:  speedy deleted per criterion WP:G10. The biographies of living persons policy is not a joke, not even on April Fools Day, and not even for people who self-identify as Nazis and proudly maintain lists of things they love about Hitler. Also a reminder that controversial information about living persons is required to be cited inline wherever it appears on any page on Wikipedia, including this one.

I think this April Fools' joke is in bad taste. There are certainly WP:BLP issues with this and I do not think we should bring living people into April Fools' jokes. At least not in a negative light. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 22:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It reminds me of the Donald Trump joke nomination that was also deleted several years ago. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 22:07, 1 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete as violating biographies of living persons guidelines. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:39, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete as an obvious violation of WP:BLP, to the point of being insulting. —  Sundostund  mppria  (talk / contribs) 06:54, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Even though I did comment in the joke deletion nomination, despite being unaware of BLP issues, I think the joke nomination draws unwanted attention towards controversial actions or views. The Donald Trump nomination this year that got speedy deleted that referenced his recent indictment and criminal investigation had similar reasons for deletion.

 * For christ's sakes, yes, nuke this radioactive mess from high orbit. Why do people think this sort of "joking" is funny? This is the sort of thing that would be embarrassing to Wikipedia's reputation if it came out into the open. --⛵ WaltClipper - (talk)  14:18, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not someting to keep around. —Alalch E. 15:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete: There is a reason why WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

 * Delete and as the creator of the original nom. It clearly was not liked, so let's get this over with. (although, I don't think it's nearly as bad as WaltClipper makes it seem, nor do I think WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies to it.)  Material  Works  ping me! 17:45, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think a little hyperbole on my part is unwarranted when, far from any sort of humorous innuendo, the "joke" nomination (and subsequent !votes) outright brand him as a Nazi. --⛵ WaltClipper - (talk)  13:44, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SNOWFLAKE. Panini!  • 🥪 14:03, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the other nominators, this "joke" AfD is in bad taste and it violates the BLP guidelines. It's not a good idea to bring someone who has done controversial stuff into April Fools' jokes. Colgatepony234 (talk) 14:49, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
