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 (see: Category:Uncyclopedia In-Jokes).
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.

Keep. Very stupid in places. Very clever in others (Bigfoot Dating Ad, which I thought was going to be stupid). It's obvious what the stupid places are and how to fix them. Spıke ¬ 19:10 12-Nov-09

- Delete. The history of this article is really quite remarkable. It's been rewritten and rewritten and rewritten - about five times in the last year alone. And every single version is shite.

- Would somebody enlighten me to exactly what makes this different than any of the other vandalism archives? It doesn't seem there would be any good reason to delete just one of them... -- Also, penis. 20:57, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- My guess is that deleting #6 would leave a hole in the archives, which would be vandalism in and of itself. So this vote is really just an avant-garde sort of neo-vandalism designed to use the institution to vandalize its own byproducts: the sequestration and containment of undirected vandalism. Bravo, Socky. Bravo. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (vote!) 23:13, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- RAHB: Mordillo's pretty consistently ruled that you have to take pages one at a time... and... so, since I think this particular page has no redeeming value, I favor deleting it. We can get to the others later.

Keep. Gee guys, didn't realise Uncyclopedia was becoming so strict about taste! Just cos' you don't not all appreciate the subtle humour doesn't mean it should be deleted. How about suggesting ways it could be improved before calling for its destruction. Digi 20:17, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Delete. In the quaint old days, they would say this is in bad taste with no redeeming qualities, certainly not the second half, a slapped-together news report about reaction to the lack of taste in the first half, which adds more bad taste. Spıke ¬ 23:24 9-Nov-09

- This is one of those articles that may actually predict what will happen with a future Porn Version of Strictly Come Dancing or Dancing With the Stars. Unless...it has already been made...--RomArtus (talk). 13:19, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
Comment. @Digi: My suggestions for improvement would boil down to "See this section? Get rid of it and try again." repeated five times. Each section is pathetic in its own little way, from the dry and unnecessary section one, the dead horse beating section two, the nothing-but-list section three, the not completely awful but grammatically lousy section four and the desperate for content section five. It's a bad idea, badly executed. Whether it's tasteful or not doesn't figure into it.

- Deleting articles that refer to Emo-Hitler is again trying to kill a beast by clipping its toenails. We recently VFD'ed Hajime Socialist Republic as an unfunny piece of some guy's personal alternate reality universe. Today I stumbled on the central piece, HZ Corps., and nominated it for deletion while it was being edited. (Nomination correctly disqualified for technical reasons, though he seems to be misusing the WIP tag.) Modusoperandi has written to the author about why his articles are mysteriously disappearing and how to get them into shape. Likewise, here Emo-Hitler is the smallest of the problems. The larger problem is that the author will continue writing cruft, even though articles keep mysteriously disappearing, unless someone steers him in a funnier direction so we don't have to play catch-up. The problem with Emo-Hitler is the impression that dropping outrageous names is writing comedy. Spıke ¬ 22:53 9-Nov-09 post-edited
- Which author? Every Article in Project: Emo-Hitler has had a different author. I think Emo-Hitler is funny to morons, morons write cruft so The link page on Emo-Hitler is just a handy hunting guide for cruft. --Count of Monkey Crisco 23:53, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
- It is a wonderful world when morons wear such a badge on their foreheads. Spıke ¬ 23:57 9-Nov-09
- The article itself has a theme (albeit a made-up one), is about something (and about everything, and thus about nothing), and is mostly babble. But I won't vote Delete (yet), on the strength of those elephant illustrations. Spıke ¬ 00:01 10-Nov-09

Keep. I had to get all the way through the horrible intro to realize that it was demonstrating hubris, and pretty well. And "believing oneself to be of particular excellance" [sic] is excellant irony, though the author won't know. Yes, it's short and dumb, but kind of cute. Ditto on the list. Spıke ¬ 01:53 8-Nov-09

• 05:50, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
Keep. Well, I edited it. (New intro, deleted the "Discography" list, lightly edited throughout, no references to the author.) I know nothing about the band but claim the article is no longer an eyesore. (Anyone have photos?) Spıke ¬ 12:19 7-Nov-09

- Delete. Unfunny and it is listing badly on one side. Besides fans - who else will want to waste time reading it for any possible humour ? --RomArtus (talk). 18:37, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
- But if fans found it funny (and if fans found that it related to anything) (and I'm not saying it does), wouldn't it be okay? Spıke ¬ 18:42 5-Nov-09
- If someone wants to write an article about a band (for example) and only wants to appeal to hard core fans , they can do it somewhere else. Same for a mad Star Trek fan as well in my view.--RomArtus (talk). 19:00, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
Time for a fan opinion! As a hopeless Nightwish fan, let me point out that notability != humor. Liking the article's subject does not excuse the suckiness of the article. As a Nightwish fan, my stonevote has been cast. » DJ "Reaper of Fail" Gentoo, now with wit, sarcasm, and even more obscure folk metal. Now in lime green! 00:57, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

- There are limits of being italic and I encourage you to never delete a template from any pages it resides on while it's on VFD. ~
