*Responding to Moogle, I have rewound this article to March 2010 and done a light copy-edit. I don't like articles where the author focuses on himself, but it might work given the thesis here--that the article's subject is inescapably boring. Would nominators please get in the habit of '''explaining why''' they want us to vote to delete someone else's work? {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>11:59 21-May-13</small>

#{{Delete}} It's just a mostly-sexual list of crap not really about Oscar Wilde. I've already had my run in with sexually crude things not being funny and I find this to be no different. When it's not sexual, it's "Your Mom" and similar jokes of immature level. --LuMontyZ Was Here 19:21, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

#:I have a similar problem with gratuitous potty humor. However, Oscar Wilde is not only Uncyclopedia's Patron Meme but a gay pervert, and thus the perfect Wildeism is gratuitous potty humor that is not really about Oscar Wilde. In fact, Wildeisms that don't have some sort of double meaning ought to be eliminated. I'm holding off voting; don't remember the details, but I seem to recall that all the site's Wildeisms are cross-linked; I got VFD's approval two years ago to delete some component of this and found I had to undo my work. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>19:35 10-Nov-12</small>

#{{Delete|WHAT? YOU FDONT LIKE IT? YOU FAGG!!!!!!!!! GAY FAG}} The article's concept (that its subject, someone who creates sprite comics via web service, is a moron) is all right. However, calling someone a moron, a Republican, or a GAY FAGG, must be done with innovation and cleverness--not just by being thoroughly moronic, even if it is "in the style of the thing it's about." {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>11:47 21-May-13</small>

*Don't know how nominator got this nomination to be born with an age of 5 hours (probably cut-and-pasting the timestamp) but I've set it to the timestamp of his signature. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>19:35 10-Nov-12</small>

*Voters are reminded (by the clock in the upper right corner) that recent rules prevent the execution of the vote (that is, the execution of the page) in less than 24 hours. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>12:17 21-May-13</small>
*Sorry about the timestamp deal. I just copied the template like the instructions said. Thanks for fixing it. I guess my beef with this article is that because it's "The Patron meme" it's fine, but my former article that revolved around Fire Emblem, shipping, and crude jokes about the shipping was delete after vote because it was "too crude." I just want some consistency here. LuMontyZ Was Here 17:40, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

*I've asked Rev. {{U|Zim ulator}}, the site's most notorious creator of sprite comics (they used to overrun UnNews) to consider writing a better page by this name. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>11:47 21-May-13</small>
*:Consistency? Dream on! {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>17:42 11-Nov-12</small>

**I'm really not sure what the point of the page is, beside being a receptacle for poopies. I have taken a gander at [[wikipedia:Bob and George]], a supposed exemplar of the sub-genre. I am not impressed. In fact, I find them kinda stupid. {{User:Zim_ulator/sig}} 12:10, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
*:Seriously, I try to show consistency (because it makes me more persuasive and proves that a Delete vote is not personal) but it is not required. Voters on VFD are voters, not paper-graders, and are allowed to vote any way for any reason; if they have criteria, they are allowed to have as many exceptions and special cases as to seem that there are no principles at all--though, again, that is less persuasive than consistency. Voters above all are not required to have the '''same''' criteria for what should stay and what should go. You ought not nominate something on VFD as real or perceived retaliation for the deletion of an article of yours. In addition, "too crude" might not mean vulgarity or sexual references; it might mean crude typography or facile humor, such as puns on people's names. It's conventional here to include [[User:SPIKE|links]] to what you are talking about so we can see for ourselves and perhaps give you more relevant advice. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>01:01 12-Nov-12</small>
 
*I get what you mean completely. It isn't personal. In fact, if I knew that this page was the Patron Meme of this site I wouldn't have bothered. I suppose as an aspiring math teacher I've been trying to grade papers. I hope I didn't come across as petty or angry. This is the article[[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:LuMontyZ/Fire_Emblem:_Abridged]] specifically the version before today's edit. I appreciate any feedback. LuMontyZ 04:16, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 
*:No need to feel that you shouldn't have VFD'ed the article. Any article, no matter how hallowed, shouldn't be allowed to stick around if it is a tedious mess, like this one. Somebody should reach in there and kick just about 90% of these "quotes" out on their sorry asses, for being devoid of humor.{{User:Bizzeebeever/signature|20121113163510}}
 
*::It was I who nominated that article of yours for deletion (see [[Uncyclopedia:Votes_for_deletion/Archive265#Fire_Emblem:_Abridged|archive 265]]) and I have now given you a detailed review on your user page. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>01:05 14-Nov-12</small>
 
*I'm glad someone agrees! I'm not sorry, it's just the feeling when you find out how, to use your word BizzeeBeever, hallowed something is. Then comes the feeling that says it's untouchable. <i>Lu</i> 00:15, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

|keep=#{{Keep}} I know it is awful but that is because of the content and humour. The concept is fine and very good comedians can make something like this funny. It can be fixed with improvement and probably needs to be a HowTo (HowTo:Try to hard to make an acronym fit a pre-chosen work). It requires a bit of effort from a user. Unfortunately I have exams at the moment and I don't think I am good enough to make this funny (I could give it a try next week if it is still around). I vote to keep it to give inspiration to what could potentially be a great article. {{User:ScottPat/sig2}} 16:41, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
  +
#:Occasional votes that read, "Put it in my userspace and maybe I'll work on it" are unhelpful. Your vote that, if I may paraphrase, "I know it is awful but I am voting to support good writing, only I am not going to be the one doing it, just now," is less helpful. If you agree it is awful and cannot improve it while the vote proceeds, you are free to "give it a try next week" even if it is ''not'' still around. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>17:15 20-May-13</small>

#::I just thought maybe someone else could write it as there are many good writers and it is a fun subject to play with.

*{{Abstain}} All of the humor is trite and none of it is clever. But I would not see, in our campaign against chavcruft, a new, large hole open up at Basingstoke, a few miles away from the gaping hole at Reading, where we have no article (not even for that [[Pennsylvania|other]] Reading in that other Berkshire that is pronounced the way it's written) and people mentioning snooker tournaments have to use a link to book-[[Reading]]. We are laying waste to the English countryside. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>17:31 4-Nov-12</small>

*The Intro tries its hand at authentic humor--but its topic, the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act (whose title was overt manipulation) is treated superficially and with humor that is just as forced as the examples that follow. {{User:SPIKE/signature}}<small>00:21 20-May-13</small>

#{{Keep}} A stubby article from 2005 was tagged "No Redeeming Value" and expanded by {{U|Neca}} (I never met him) in 2006. The absurdly long section heads do seem to be a recurring gag, though what this has to do with Anna Pavlova I don't know. Read the initial photo caption: This is no mere hacker. The writing uses randomness, but an erudite randomness rather than memes. All it needs is another photo, fixing the red-links, and more relevant humor from an author who actually knows something about Pavlova.

#{{Delete}} This conspiracy rant had some potential in early 2012, but it has outlived its usefulness. It is obsolete now, as noted by the late awkward addition near the bottom of the page that says that the destruction of the internet as we know it will be complete by 2030. Also, it assumes that everybody uses services like DeviantArt, (which happens to be a website to showcase art including terrible fandom porno art and view art that others have posted) and so on. The internet is broad enough in scope and changing quickly enough that this article will be obsolete again in no time, and will be forever incomplete even if an update is attempted (something perhaps suggesting that the internet ended in 2012 but was restarted). {{User:Simsilikesims/sig}} 00:35, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

#{{delete|Adele-te}} Ignoring the ignoring of framework, first person articles can sometimes work. Dementia would work better as an encyclopaedic style with repitition to the effect that the author has forgotten what is being said. To quote Kryten ''“Kryten personal black box recording. Time: unknown. Location: unknown. Cause of accident: unknown. Should someone find this recording, perhaps it will shed light as to what happened here. My short-term memory has been erased. This, I ascribe to the proximity of the magnetic coils from Starbug's rear engine. Secondly, due to the proximity of the magnetic coils, my short term memory appears to have been erased. This, combined with the erasure of my short-term memory, has left me a little disoriented, disoriented, disoriented.”'' Given that this topic has the potential of a strong article, a lukewarm one in it's place seems a shame. Bulldoze, and make way for something better. Without meme driven humor. {{User:PuppyOnTheRadio/sig3|04:45 20 May 2013}}

Rules and procedures:

  1. If you're too lazy to read the deletion policy, please, at least, carefully read this list of rules.
    1. But seriously, read the deletion policy.
    2. Do not put anything up for VFD that is not appropriate for VFD.
    3. Abusers of the policy will be abused by the claw end of a hammer. You have been warned.
  2. If you have an article that meets the criteria for VFD:
    1. 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.
    2. Add {{vfd}} to the article in question. Failure to do so will invalidate the vote.
    3. Provide an initial vote (see below) and include a comment as to why you have placed the article on VFD.
  3. If you are here to vote on the deletion/salvation of articles:
    1. Thank you.
    2. No really, thank you.
    3. Edit the section for the article you are addressing.
    4. Pick a space under the appropriate heading (Keep, Delete, Comment), add your sig/comment preceded with a #
      1. # - Creates a numbered bullet for your entry and makes sure that things are formatted correctly (do not put a space before the #).
      2. 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.
      3. --~~~~ - Sign and timestamp your vote. Unsigned votes will be removed without prejudice.
  4. Do not revert edits of the administrators.
  5. If an article survives VFD, do not resubmit it for at least 1 month or you will get a bollocking.
  6. 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.

edit Pages for Deletion

Zombiebaronvs.Braydie

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 nail bat before we tear our hair out in frustration. This also applies to Featured Articles and Uncyclopedia In-Jokes.


How to quickly find VFDable articles (using special pages):


Notes for Administrators:

  • Allow at least 24 hours before closing a nomination or deleting an article.
  • Remember to delete any unused images from deleted articles and, if necessary, 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 VFD-padlock Closed nomination tag to indicate that the article has been kept. You have been warned.

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.

  • Responding to Moogle, I have rewound this article to March 2010 and done a light copy-edit. I don't like articles where the author focuses on himself, but it might work given the thesis here--that the article's subject is inescapably boring. Would nominators please get in the habit of explaining why they want us to vote to delete someone else's work? Spıke ¬ 11:59 21-May-13

  1. Symbol keep vote Keep. I know it is awful but that is because of the content and humour. The concept is fine and very good comedians can make something like this funny. It can be fixed with improvement and probably needs to be a HowTo (HowTo:Try to hard to make an acronym fit a pre-chosen work). It requires a bit of effort from a user. Unfortunately I have exams at the moment and I don't think I am good enough to make this funny (I could give it a try next week if it is still around). I vote to keep it to give inspiration to what could potentially be a great article. Sir ScottPat White Ensign Scotland Flag 1 Compassrose CUN VFH UnS NotM(talk) 16:41, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
    Occasional votes that read, "Put it in my userspace and maybe I'll work on it" are unhelpful. Your vote that, if I may paraphrase, "I know it is awful but I am voting to support good writing, only I am not going to be the one doing it, just now," is less helpful. If you agree it is awful and cannot improve it while the vote proceeds, you are free to "give it a try next week" even if it is not still around. Spıke ¬ 17:15 20-May-13
    I just thought maybe someone else could write it as there are many good writers and it is a fun subject to play with. It has too much potential to be deleted even though the style of humour currently is forced as you said. I am not changing my vote as I found the concept funny enough. Everyone has different humour styles. Sir ScottPat White Ensign Scotland Flag 1 Compassrose CUN VFH UnS NotM(talk) 17:27, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

  • The Intro tries its hand at authentic humor--but its topic, the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act (whose title was overt manipulation) is treated superficially and with humor that is just as forced as the examples that follow. Spıke ¬ 00:21 20-May-13

The absurdly long section heads do seem to be a recurring gag, though what this has to do with Anna Pavlova I don't know. Read the initial photo caption: This is no mere hacker. The writing uses randomness, but an erudite randomness rather than memes. All it needs is another photo, fixing the red-links, and more relevant humor from an author who actually knows something about Pavlova. Anton, ready to earn a VFD Save? Spıke ¬ 13:56 19-May-13

    You can copy the text to your userspace, like the text of any other page. Moving an established article out of mainspace requires a vote of this forum (which is not going well). You are free to install your edit over this article, or in place of it after it is deleted, but you should run it by someone else first; you are not free, for example, to install essentially the same thing if VFD should vote to delete it.

  2. Symbol delete vote Delete. This conspiracy rant had some potential in early 2012, but it has outlived its usefulness. It is obsolete now, as noted by the late awkward addition near the bottom of the page that says that the destruction of the internet as we know it will be complete by 2030. Also, it assumes that everybody uses services like DeviantArt, (which happens to be a website to showcase art including terrible fandom porno art and view art that others have posted) and so on. The internet is broad enough in scope and changing quickly enough that this article will be obsolete again in no time, and will be forever incomplete even if an update is attempted (something perhaps suggesting that the internet ended in 2012 but was restarted). -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 00:35, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

  4. Symbol delete vote Adele-te Ignoring the ignoring of framework, first person articles can sometimes work. Dementia would work better as an encyclopaedic style with repitition to the effect that the author has forgotten what is being said. To quote Kryten “Kryten personal black box recording. Time: unknown. Location: unknown. Cause of accident: unknown. Should someone find this recording, perhaps it will shed light as to what happened here. My short-term memory has been erased. This, I ascribe to the proximity of the magnetic coils from Starbug's rear engine. Secondly, due to the proximity of the magnetic coils, my short term memory appears to have been erased. This, combined with the erasure of my short-term memory, has left me a little disoriented, disoriented, disoriented.” Given that this topic has the potential of a strong article, a lukewarm one in it's place seems a shame.
