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.

Delete. Knowing little about Danny Phantom most of those descriptions seemed like straight up episode recaps. Those that were more obviously an attempt at humor were eather bad and name-droppy or random and desperate.--Count of Monkey Crisco 06:59, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

- The humor is crappy but, again, the article is about a real show. It is a giant list because the author set out to work individual episodes with cheap plays on words rather than writing cleverly. This isn't unique or even rare; after our discussion (below) on Nightwish, I went to Yes (band), and it is the same crap. It would be nice if the author had invented a theme, perhaps a humorous misunderstanding, and stuck to it through the article. It would be nice if all our anonIPs were funny. They aren't, and there are bigger fish to fry. Spıke ¬ 02:17 11-Nov-09

Delete. Never got the expansion promised by the author in '08. The main article isn't that good either, but if I added it there'd be over 20 vfd's... ---Pelargonium (Talk)
- Comment: Actually, since one of the 20 listed articles has officially been kept, you could list one more and not get blocked. --Andorin K. (Silence! I vape you!) 07:23, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

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

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.

- Keep. It isn't a total disaster (the list isn't any good and lazy) but at least this one doesn't go off at a tangent and change the subject half way through like of lot of the death row candidates in here. --RomArtus (talk). 13:14, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

- 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

Delete. Indeed, it admits at the end that it is history-of-the-future. As your curator for articles on Peru, I would volunteer to save this if it had anything to do with Peru. But I will grab for re-use the photo of a llama in the middle of the Via Expresa. Spıke ¬ 17:48 9-Nov-09
- Delete. As usual , a choice quote sums this up : The Emocaust began in late 2010, and was the direct result of Emo-Hitler's meddling with the space-time continuum to prevent the deaths of My Chemical Romance in a tragic boating accident in late 2007.

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

Keep. Unlike most of the articles below, this is about something, it is the joy of stereotyping, and it's funny in places. It's ugly and childish, proposing that people I don't like get shot to death, but it could be whipped into shape. Drop the dumb Latin taxonomy and the long list of translations. Spıke ¬ 12:22 6-Nov-09

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.
