Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Extreme article deletion


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was withdraw nomination. I'm closing this now because of some people's inability to take this seriously. I wasn't expecting so much immaturity on this MfD, and I see no point in allowing it to continue. JDtalk 07:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * J_Di, people are taking this as seriously as is necessary... count the comments and you'll see that no, it's not unanimous, but there's a clear consensus to keep the page. Maturity or the lack thereof isn't going to get the page removed. This page has been around for over two years and nobody's tried to use it in an AfD except possibly in one isolated case which didn't actually have any effect on the outcome of that process and everyone was just having a bit of fun anyway. That was two years ago. If anyone tries this in an AfD they'll simply be ignored – Gurch 10:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Note: Re-opened after being closed by Misza13 as "speedy snowball keep" to generate additional consensus – Gurch 20:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC) closed twice, in fact, having once been re-opened by the nominator, earning a total of eight points for closing reason, multiple closures and general rougeness – Gurch 05:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Extreme article deletion
This page is not funny, and it's making article deletion out to be a sport of some sort. JDtalk 19:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - the page is clearly intended as humor, marked as such, and is clearly stated that it should be taken in a sarcastic tone. -- Elar  a  girl  Talk 19:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme comment: is that an Extreme Keep? – Gurch 19:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme abstain. Bonus points if you make me change my mind before the end of the discussion – Gurch 19:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme question. What exactly is your position?--Nilfanion (talk) 19:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm extremely unsure. Though since I'm keeping score, I should probably recuse – Gurch 19:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I take objection to two parts of this nomination. 1) that it isn't funny and 2) that article deletion isn't a sport of some sort. It's not? Darn, powers of observation slipping. I think I had a point here, anyway... oh, right. Humor page, and not even a controversial one; I almost forgot this existed. Gave me a chuckle. And lots of others, too: see Votes_for_deletion/Extreme_article_deletion. Mostly harmless. Keep, and get off my lawn. Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 19:30, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Opposing the deletion, picking at the nominator's choice of words, and taking a jab at the AfD process at the same time? I think you get three points for that. Nice one – Gurch 19:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet they disrupted Wikipedia to make a point? Delete. 1ne 19:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme keep, even though 197 google hits for "Extreme deletion" clearly fails notability guidance. As this is clearly written in an non-serious manner I can't see the harm...--Nilfanion (talk) 19:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme delete, by which I mean keep (that's an example of the "Extreme" humour that's been a part of Wikipedia for a while). --Deathphoenix ʕ 20:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme secondary school of unencyclopedic non-notable rule-vanicruft POVness delete by which I obviously mean Keep unless you want your shoes set alight to provide more power to drive the servers. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 20:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Two points for having the most reasons in one argument. Are we really that short of funds? – Gurch 05:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - harmless fun. &mdash; AnemoneProj e ctors (talk) 21:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, harmless humor. Kusma (討論) 21:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, extreme attempt at factionalism and giving aid and comfort to those who think that any deletions are teh end of teh universe. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete? Ooh, very extreme. That's gotta be worth an extra point. Though of course if it's deleted, I can't give out points. I can't find a speedy criterion that it meets, though. I suppose I could invent one – Gurch 22:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme apathy --pgk 22:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How very... extreme. Sure I can't sway you in the direction of Extreme Ignorance? – Gurch 01:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Um. I like humour, but this seems just a little bit too bitter. Perhaps it needs to be edited mercilessly.  Guy (Help!) 22:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extremely mercilessly? Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine?) 01:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * For that matter, extremely bitter? – Gurch 05:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not-so-extreme keep. Harmless humour. Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine?) 01:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extremely harmless? Mostly harmless? --Deathphoenix ʕ 03:58, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I like mittens. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is to keep.  Nacon kantari  01:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Three points for the first completely nonsensical suggestion! – Gurch 05:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme Keep. It's extremely humourous, and extremely says so on its page. (At worst, ExtremeBJAODN.) Ourai  т с 02:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Extreme Keep as a great satire and perfectly good use of Wikipedia namespace. &mdash;  Da rk Sh ik ar i   talk /contribs  03:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Bonus point for having a signature that takes up three lines (and that's on a widescreen monitor!) – Gurch 05:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * My cat's breath smells like cat food per Naconcantari (in other earth words, keep). Anchoress 04:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Two points for silliness – Gurch 05:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * EXTREME WEAK KEEP FOR BEING EXTREMELY HARMLESS! ★ MESSED  ROCKER X-TREME! ★  04:50, 24 NOVEMBER-EXTREME 2006 (UTC-EXTREME!)
 * One point for "extreme weak", one for inappropriate use of all caps, and two for the novel use of an extreme timestamp – Gurch 05:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
