Straw is not a substitute for discussion
This is essentially an essay written as a pointed response to a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Polling. 14:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's a bit of harmless fun. We have plenty of bits of harmless fun in CAT:E and CAT:HUM.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  15:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with User:Radiant!, although its small its still a little bit of humour, wont do anyone any harm.  Te ll y a ddi ct  17:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * keep stop the war on humor on wikipedia! In non-articlespace light parody (excepting attack pages) and self-referential humor are entirely appropriate.  Wintermut3 17:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. If this gets deleted, I might climb the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man.  Er, maybe not; I might be in trouble with a rouge admin.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 17:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm not positive that this is actually "disrupting Wikipedia to make a point" as the nominator states. --Ali&#39;i 19:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wastes server space and Bandwidth.  ~   St ep  tr ip   19:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * See WP:PERF. Picaroon 01:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep label it "humor" like the spiderman page. It's short so I don't expect it to clog up bandwidth that much. WooyiTalk, Editor review 21:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep For WP:POINT it seems awfully harmless.  I don't see how a little humor essay can be disruptive.  --Minderbinder 21:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A little fun won't do any harm! We don't need to worry about wasting sever space and it doesn't disrupt a point. Sr13 (T|C) 05:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Stop the war on humor on Wikipedia!
 * Delete - I hate Wikihumor.--WaltCip 10:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * "I don't like it" is not a good deletion argument. WooyiTalk, Editor review 15:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I know that. I'm simply stating the only argument that can be used against this. Take it with a grain of salt.--WaltCip 16:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
