Uncyclopedia:Votes for deletion
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Rules and procedures:
- Before doing anything else, make sure that you are well versed on Uncyclopedia's deletion policy.
- If you're too lazy to read the deletion policy, please, at least, carefully read this list of rules.
- But seriously, read the deletion policy.
- Do not put anything up for VFD that is not appropriate for VFD.
- Abusers of the policy will be abused by the claw end of a hammer. You have been warned.
- If you have an article that meets the criteria for VFD:
- Check the revision history of the page. It may have been vandalised, or just badly edited over a long period of time. If so, find a better version and revert the article. It may not be suitable for deletion.
- Add
{{vfd}} to the article in question. Failure to do so may invalidate the vote.
- Provide an initial vote (see below) and include a comment as to why you have placed the article on VFD.
- If you are here to vote on the deletion/salvation of articles:
- Thank you.
- No, really, thank you very much.
- Edit the section for the article you are addressing.
- Pick a space under the appropriate heading (Keep, Delete, Comment), add your sig/comment preceded with a *
- * - Creates a bullet for your entry and makes sure that things are formatted correctly (do not put a space before the *).
- Comment - If you care to, leave a comment, even if it is as short as "The article is not at all funny". Votes without comments are less useful in analyzing the quality of an article.
- --~~~~ - Sign and timestamp your vote. Unsigned votes will be removed without prejudice.
- Do not revert edits of the administrators.
- If you are neither an administrator nor a designated poopsmith, do not remove anything from VFD; doing so will get you banned for a very long time.
VFD: Where bad articles go to get
recycled.
Pages for Deletion
Make sure that you have read the rules (above) and the deletion policy. Please don't nominate Main Page or Votes for Deletion; that joke has been done so many times we might just beat you with a nailbat before we tear our hair out in frustration. This also applies to Uncyclopedia In jokes.
How to quickly find VFDable articles (using special pages):
Notes for Administrators:
- Remember to delete any unused images from deleted articles and, if nessessary, check what links to the article and remove any backlinks. Make sure to delete any broken redirects created as well.
- To avoid confusion, try to remove closed nominations which cause the page to exceed to 20 articles.
- If a nomination is kept, please add {{Oldvfd}} to the article's talk page.
To add an article, edit this section, and follow the directions in the comments.
Don't flood VFD full of articles, or at least leave a space between your nominations.
If you increase the number of articles on VFD to over 20, you will be blocked for 1 day, no exceptions. This means do not increase the number of active votes on VFD to over twenty. Inactive votes are shown with either a red link (where they have been deleted), or with the 
Closed nomination tag to indicate that the article has been kept. You have been warned.
If VFD is full, or if you are an IP or a user of less than 4 days, and you want to report something as potential rubbish for us to vote on in the future, please proceed to the Poopsmith's Lounge. Just remember not to sit on the chairs.
Please remember to check an article's history, in case of recent or long term vandalism, before nominating an article. Also, check the article's talk page and 'What links here' for prior nominations. If the article has been nominated before there will be a link from a VFD archive page.

 Delete. A bad article about about a fictional religion that combines Judaism and Islam, hence "Juslim." ---Pelargonium  (Talk)

 Keep. Relates to something real and is occasionally funny. Points off for being Brazilian, for botching English, and for showing the South American tendency to use acute accent instead of apostrophe. Spıke ¬ 20:08 15-Dec-09

- All right, I get it, this is another article in a point of view different from the usual encyclopedia one. Two, in fact, bitchily going point-counterpoint just like Spock and McCoy, or perhaps The Fockers. This may be the "method in that madness" that Mn-z cites. To me, though, alternate voices are an excuse for bad writing, for nagging and chest-thumping, for the cheap humor of cut-downs, creating caricatures in order to ridicule them, rather than real humor. Then again, I don't watch cartoons, so maybe this reaches the target audience. But why is an article allowed to start with a link to its own Pee Review? Spıke ¬ 18:46 15-Dec-09

- Keep It's actually kind of funny. --Ozymandiaz 17:48, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Keep. It is funny if you know the history of the IWETHEY group on the Internet. They were opposed to Uncyclopedia and vandalized a lot of pages here. We need this page as well as Digg, Reddit, LiveJournal, Facebook, MySpace, etc. The try harder to be funny means a rewrite not a deletion. They are even quoted here in the Uncyclopedia is the worst article. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 18:52, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- I have to object to that. IWETHEY is nowhere near the same level of Digg, MySpace, etc. It doesn't have a Wikipedia article and practically fails UN:CM. In fact, this article up for deletion is the 2nd result on a Google search for IWETHEY. Taking a look at their defunct homepage that looks like it was designed in 1992, I'd say we "need" on article on them as much as we "need" an article on the GNAA. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 22:48, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Actually Wikipedia cites them three times as a reliable source. Two are articles on SCO and one is a user page. So Wikipedia lists IWETHEY as notable enough to be used as a credible source. Their Forums are down due to a Linux error and they claim to be Linux experts. So they set up a temporary form, but they used to have thousands of Google results before their main forum crashed and as I recall the number of Google hits is a factor. You can see thousands of web pages linking to IWETHEY web sites and forums. This article moved up to number two after their forum crashed last year and Google removed their forum links. Ask Elvis about it, he was the admin that had to deal with them. So it passes the Admins know about them test. Look I admit it can be funnier, but I am not the one to do it, someone else can rewrite it so it is funnier. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 04:53, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
- Keep. Though I wasn't around at the time this happened, I think the article's good enough to keep. ---Pelargonium (Talk)

- Delete. We got rid of IWETHEYvandals, now to the main course, which has not been nominated for VFD for 19 whole months. IWETHEY is a consortium of memes with a horrible acronym and a loud template that warns the reader to expect humor. Like Godot, it never arrives. Spıke ¬ 13:43 14-Dec-09
- Delete. This is the article's third nomination. I read through the other two nominations, and the rationale for voting keep was "This is an important part of Uncyclopedia history; IWETHEY is a notable forum whose history is intertwined with ours." Well, fair enough. You've convinced me that this is allowable vanity and that a page with this title should be allowed to exist. But this article is not fucking funny. It's a sophomoric repetition of all the Uncyclopedia memes I'm sick to death of. So let's delete it, and if anyone wants to try again and try harder, be my guest. My two cents. pillow talk 17:49, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. Like above, it's not actually funny. Bit of an insult to Queen's too. I know some quite clever folks who went there. PTQ is funny. This is a load of crap. Myocardialinfarction 20:08, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

- WJU is good writing (despite some overlong titles) about an unremarkable institution. IWETHEY is Us writing about Us, and how we are so darned funny we drive people mad. Behind many double standards is a single standard that varies depending on whether it's Us doing it. Spıke ¬ 17:08 14-Dec-09
- Comment. I just want to remind everyone that UN:CM is a much different policy than Wikipedia:WP:N or Wikipedia:WP:V. On Wikipedia, if it fails N or V, it's deleted, if it passes, it's kept. Simple. But on Uncyclopedia - well, Martial Arts passes UN:CM, and we deleted it. Tapheselachophobia fails UN:CM, and we featured it. The real, true test for whether we want an article here is: does it make me laugh. pillow talk 05:19, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

- Umm... I have been too heavily involved with the article to ethically vote Keep, but please note that the article is already a substantial rewrite of what was originally created. If deleted, please userfy to User:Pentium5dot1/Storage facility/DDR. --Pentium5dot1(read this)t~^_^~c 02:08, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think it's unethical to vote keep for any article if you like it. pillow talk 02:11, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- (outdent) My above comments were probably confusing; I just want to clarify them. In summary, if this is deleted, then do all of the following: 1) userfy as specified above, 2) redirect to Dance Dance Revolution, and 3) maybe consider copying to Illogicopedia. --Pentium5dot1(read this)t~^_^~c 19:33, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

- Comment. (Formerly Delete.) What I take from this article, from the paragraph before the first quote to the drum-roll animation to call attention to the fact that there is an actual joke, is that the author thinks he's really cool. I might rescind my vote if Socky stops shouting and tells me what I'm missing. Spıke ¬ 23:37 11-Dec-09

- There is a theme here: An unknown artist rises to fame with a cheap knock-off of a famous King Crimson album. (I'm grateful that the last paragraph of the prose explained the joke.) If the author were to do lots more work making the fantasy play off the reality, it might be a keeper. The Infobox suggests that the author might intend to ply his non-trade on several other famous albums. 13:08 PS--Said unknown artist, Andre The Giant, has his own, overlong, crappy article but it's mostly related to the actual WWE wrestler rather than a vehicle to support music articles.

- An adequate replacement article is in User:SPIKE/Peter Pan. 00:41 PS--If you want to go with this, it should be a keep-plus-edit, as this version keeps 2 paragraphs of Cliff Richard and the photo, and should preserve the change history. Spıke ¬ 02:00 12-Dec-09
- Why does the template put Keep before Delete? Why do readers read the rebuttals before the nominator's argument? Spıke ¬ 12:06 9-Dec-09
- (Changed from Keep. Spıke ¬ 12:41 11-Dec-09) Of course, gayness is the obvious hook to a Peter Pan article. However, the frequent returns to that gimmick in this article, starting in the intro, seem almost like vandalism. A good writer, with more knowledge of pop-music history than I, has cast Pan as a solo rocker; then some n00b has slapped together some first-person crap about gayness. If the musical history isn't based on reality, it should be half as long, as it isn't funny on its own, but either way, what's Uncyclopedia without an article on Peter Pan? Spıke ¬ 12:06 9-Dec-09
- I've deleted the "gay" material that seemed added as an afterthought and made other clerical changes. However, is this massive bio just a verbatim lifting of Cliff Richard's bio? If so, it's an overlong non-joke and there is little left that's really funny about this article. Spıke ¬ 23:26 9-Dec-09
- This could all be shoved into a story about Cliff Richard and leave the Peter Pan idea for a different joke. It isn't a parody about Peter Pan which is surely what that this article really needs. --RomArtus (talk) 10:17, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

- Unlike the myriad of Grand Theft Auto articles we've killed, this one has an intro that introduces, and actually gives an idea of how to play the game. It's a complete article (with separate main articles and even a template), though with (necessarily) awful illustrations. There is merely the nagging problem that it doesn't relate to anything. But people who note the excessive spectacle of major American sports might consider it
good satire. Major development ended in 2006, as well as the presence here of early contributors Das Boot and Rabarint. Spıke ¬ 11:20 8-Dec-09
