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.

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.

  • 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

  1. Symbol keep vote Keep. A stubby article from 2005 was tagged "No Redeeming Value" and expanded by 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. Anton, ready to earn a VFD Save? Spıke ¬ 13:56 19-May-13

  1. Symbol delete vote Delete. The authors experience the joy of conducting a vulgar rant at the readers. I cannot imagine the readers laughing at all. Spıke ¬ 03:08 19-May-13
  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)

  1. Symbol delete vote Delete. This article from 2005 is a receptacle for whatever unclever Randumbo you want to type. Spıke ¬ 19:14 17-May-13
  2. Symbol delete vote Delete. A completely fictional country where all the Uncyclopedia (worst) jokes are situated. In addition to this, it is impossible to pronounce the article's name. Its creator wanted to make a parody on an average African country but didn't really achieve this. Anton (talk) 19:18, May 17, 2013 (UTC)
    Yup; and the right way to do this and maintain our encyclopedia façade is to pick a country and parody it. Only, that constrains the author to parody something real, rather than go completely freestyle. Spıke ¬ 19:52 17-May-13

  1. Symbol delete vote Delete. Multilingual gibberish (by 2005 editors, then Matthlock), apropos of nothing. Spıke ¬ 15:36 16-May-13
  2. Symbol delete vote Delete. Just seeing that the first word has no capital letter is bad enough!!! Absolute gibberish. Sir ScottPat White Ensign Scotland Flag 1 Compassrose CUN VFH UnS (talk) 15:46, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
    This stuff is easily fixed, and a page-in-the-style-of-the-thing-it's-about is appropriate. But James Joyce's prose, though "experimental," was not gibberish. I'd vote to defend deliberate, clever gibberish as satire of real gibberish; the present article is just a sandbox. Spıke ¬ 16:43 16-May-13
    I have to admit I know nothing about the topic and simply judged by first read. Didn't realise it was a satire of someone's book. My point stands that it still is a bit random. Sir ScottPat White Ensign Scotland Flag 1 Compassrose CUN VFH UnS (talk) 17:05, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
  3. Symbol delete vote Delete. I would certainly vote for the deletion of this article if Hipster didn't put his comment which forced me to type "Finnegans Wake" in Google. Now I understand that it is a parody on the book. However, I still vote for its deletion as this article is still "multilingual rubbish". Its concept was not realized. Article on "J.D. Sallinger" is also a parody on Sallinger's writing style but it is very interesting and funny to read. Finally, the Russian sentence did not make any grammatical sense. Maybe Uncyclopedia needs an article on Finnegans Wake but definitely not this. Anton (talk) 12:25, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
    Wikipedia is a useful place for research on this; WP:Finnegan's Wake is the drinking song; WP:Finnegans Wake is the work of fiction, complete with pundits' opinions on the meaning of his omitting the apostrophe. Spıke ¬ 22:57 18-May-13

  1. Symbol delete vote Delete. Ranty stereotypes about Poles and their diaspora is disguised as a self-test to reveal the same (certainly not disguised as an encyclopedia article, in which the same stereotypes could be made funny with a little work). An early and ill-advised work of veteran Uncyclopedian Ptok-Bentoniczny. Spıke ¬ 11:39 15-May-13
  2. Symbol delete vote Delete. I can think of a many more much funnier ways of making fun of Polish people that don't involve thinking that they are all Jewish. As for lists... Sir ScottPat White Ensign Scotland Flag 1 Compassrose CUN VFH UnS (talk) 15:24, May 17, 2013 (UTC)
  3. Symbol delete vote Delete. As I can see the purpose of this article is to convince a reader that he hates Polish people and then swear at him because he is such a person. Several jokes could be good, if put into a normal article. Test just makes them unfunny. Anton (talk) 13:39, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

This article is not poorly written; but Google has only two exact matches for this alleged consultancy: We are the first, and the second is a stub article at a business locator that "located" this business through Uncyclopedia.
