Silly-o-meter
A barometer that is intended to be attached to proposal pages to indicate how silly they are. And of course reflexive on itself. BJAODN. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 23:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Or, as a compromise, userfy. This has no place in Wikispace. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:35, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete or BJAODN. I don't really think it's funny, but I don't think many of the BJAODNs are funny, so I'm out-of-step in this area. Xoloz 04:09, 29 October 2005 (UTC) Delete I would say that this was silly if it wasn't so stupid. Cyferx 14:22, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this is an extremely important asset to Wikipedia, there's no other known way to reliably measure sillyness. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 13:39, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Please cite sources on the reliability of this asset? Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I have been touched by his holiness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, he spoke into my heart and said this should stay. --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 13:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Ramen to that. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * BJAODN, if only for the caption on level 1 and 2. H e rmione1980 23:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It doesn't appear to be in use anywhere.  Rossami (talk) 01:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It now appears that this is in use in exactly two places - Ævar's userpage and the talk page of another article that is very likely to be deleted. I would have no objections if Ævar wants to move it to a user-subpage but it doesn't belong in the main space.  Rossami (talk) 00:30, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Very weak Keep. Sigh, it appears that Ævar has decided to post this kind of thing on his userpage, and this kind of categorization of oneself as "silly", "not silly" or "extremely silly" is acceptable. But please, keep this kind of thing away from policy proposals, the rejected templates are good for rejected proposals, otherwise assertions of the proposal being silly belong on the talkpage and not as a stupid "silly-o-meter".

 * BJAODN. --Kizor 19:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Claramente, nobody on Wikipedia has a sense of humor anymore. Matt Yeager 01:24, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reflexive reason that the silliness of a silly-o-meter proposal clearly needs to be measured by a silly-o-meter. :) Delete (or userfy) because nothing else does. (Is that silly? Who can say?) :) Rd232 talk 23:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy. No one's using it, so keeping it is rather silly. --Idont Havaname 03:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for egregious and unnecessary use of Comic Sans. --PHenry 05:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * BJAODN. Obvious parody of WikiDefcon. --cesarb 20:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
