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 will 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.
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 numbered 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.
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.

Keep. I remember the day after Oklahoma the talking head on the news was saying how they had a description of the suspects...swarthy skinned, mid-east accents, etc. Timothy McVeigh was whiter than me, and I'm practically transparent. This story fits, too well, but it fits. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 17:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Definately some redeeming value here, even if just for the main idea of "all terrorists are Muslims". I agree with Asteroid that the picture is unneeded, unless the caption is improved or the picture itelf is replaced/shopped to something funnier. Either way, I've never seen 'too soon' being an issue on Uncyclopedia; I'd hate to see it be one now. I'm imagining that's the bulk of the argument for deletion, and it shouldn't be. Tobz1000 18:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep Because we spend half our time offending most of the population of everywhere, and the things that we say about more minor countries are far more offensive to them than this is to Americans. This news article is comparatively gentle compared to what could have been said, and it's got its share of funny, if in an uncomfortable way. Having said that, we could remove the picture from the top of the news feed, since it's a bit incongruous with the donation banner... oh, you have - okay then. -- (but) UntrueWhhhy?Whut?How?*Back from the dead* 18:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep I've done some more thinking. It's funny, so I change my vote to keep. Despite the fact that everytime I see that man's face it enrages me. Kip the Dip 19:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep This article is funny and less ofending than all the stuff about holocaust and so on. So why it should be delated? Because it offends Americans? http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/User:Jedrus07
FEATURE because not only does it have little to do with the incident itself, it has much to do with what could've been. --ЖKaliryes, I play Pokémon 19:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Without satire, the terrorists win. You don't support terrorism...do you? -- Sir CodeineK·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 19:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Mhaille and Rangeley said it on the talk page -- sannse (talk) 20:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep If we are not allowed to make controversial statements, we have surrendered to the "nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." Please, for the sake of liberal Western democracy, keep this up. It's gentle compared to many of our other articles, and satire must not allow itself to devolve to base stupidities. This is nowhere near as offensive as our other stuff; it is only a controversy because it satirizes America.

Nomination and delete Not only is it far too soon after the VA Tech shootings for this article to be up, but it just isn't that funny. I'd also like to note that we've had a discussion on the talk page over this article, and that I've already deleted it once (Mhaille restored). —MajorSirHinoaprepare for trouble • make it double? 17:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Too soon, really. And if not, at least take the picture of the murderer from the front page, that certainly adds no comic value to the site. ---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 17:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete It didn't offend me, it just sucked. Toss it. SirENeGMA(talk)GUNWotMPLS 19:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
What's that? Up in the sky? It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a flying delete vote!!!!!!!!!!!! Not funny yet. If you were gunned down by some crazy dude, would you want a page about it here? In a while, it might be somewhat close to comedic. Stars+stripes 20:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete Not only wasn't the article funny, but I know quite a few people from VA tech, and it's just too soon to even joke about it. Try in a few years.--Skyl3lazer 21:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hinoa's right, it's not that funny. In fact, it's not funny at all. Satire, of the biting social variety. We do still have room for that here, don't we? If not, about one fifth of my stuff (including a couple of features) should go VFD as well. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 17:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Meh, didn't care for it, doesn't need to be deleted, but still, meh.
Why too soon? To laugh about bad things that happen to real people or even fictional charachters, you need at least a minimal level of detachment from them, otherways it's not funny, it's just hurtful and sad. This article looks like the kind of article that could make me if not laugh at least smile from the witty staire, but not just yet.---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 18:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
It's short. There are a few so-so directions to take the title in, but none resemble this. Axe --Alksub - VFHCMWARV {talk} 08:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Keep- Can be used in a number or articles to come to mind, the loadings a bit long, so i would have this as a bottem page .GIF. However, it needs a name change. How do we go about doing that?--Witt,ofUNionEntertain me* 21:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The Kinsey scale is well done, if you're familiar with it. I don't find the article heterosexist. Rogpyvbc 05:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep Opposite of Modus's comment - I like most of the lines but there's the odd one that's a bit rubbish. Not the most typical gay joke out there, and I've heard a few... -- (but) UntrueWhhhy?Whut?How?*Back from the dead* 19:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The Kinsey scale bit is a good idea...for Kinsey scale. The rest is about how gay things are. Which is funny if you're gay. (See how not funny that joke is?) --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 21:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
