Wikipedia:Newcomer friendly page

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

This page is attempting to be sarcastic, but is also clearly being directed at new users (complete with WP:ASSISTANCE and WP:NEWCOMERFRIENDLY shortcuts). The humor of the page is debatable (I don't think it's funny). However, if a new user actually ended up here, they most likely wouldn't understand the humor, and wouldn't pick up on the sarcasm. I think that WP is better off without this attempt at humor.  —&#8288;Scotty Wong &#8288;— 21:56, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Bad attempts at sarcasm are likely to promote the idea that Wikipedia is a weirdo club that likes to troll newcomers. Dronebogus (talk) 22:12, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom. Too disruptive, for limited value in humour. Might have been ok in userspace, where it wouldn’t mislead newcomers. Delete the shortcuts.  SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2022 (UTC) *
 * Delete, although I'd like to keep it in my userspace as I do see it as pretty funny. EDIT: I fucked up, moved the page to my userspace, then moved it out after realizing that it was a bad decision, and created a complicated chain of redirects like a fucking idiot. I don't have the tools to clean up the mess created by the moves, but I think I might be able to fix the double-redirects and archive it in userspace. ☢️Plutonical☢️  ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵘⁿᶦᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿˢ  15:21, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. I beg to differ, but the humorous template at the top should be enough. Also, it made me laugh. I.hate.spam.mail.here (This is YOUR page) (talk | contributions) 07:17, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
