 * Keep per longstanding policy precedent of preserving April Fools jokes. Redfarmer (talk) 16:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you provide an example of where a unilateral (as opposed to collaborative) prank has been kept? ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  duumvirate  ─╢ 16:18, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * More than one person has edited the essay, and more than one person is asking for it to be kept. That seems to invalidate claims of this being a unilateral prank. If I were to put a bucket of water over a door to fall on someone's head, and multiple people saw me doing it and approved, and a couple of people helped me fill the bucket and steady the door, you wouldn't call that a unilateral prank even if I conceived of the prank and did most of the work myself, would you? --  At am a  頭 19:30, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per Treasury Tag's cogent analysis. Other than the "Stupid drivel falsely marked as policy and falsely suggesting Jimbo's backing" part, of course. Tag as humor or femur, as appropriate. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 17:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete As joke policy pages go, this isn't so bad. However, the creator keeps posting links to it. Let the people find the funny, don't force it down their throats. I meant a  18:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
