To limit the size of this list and highlight articles that need review, deleted articles and commentary have been moved here.

The following pages in funspace have been proposed for deletion en masse as part of a general cruft-cleaning measure. Any individual page deletion may be discussed here.

If a "keep" consensus has emerged, please add a collapsebox to reduce the length of this page.


Fun:Aardvark

Fun:Atheism and Murderous Clowns

Fun:Balls

Keep - it has potential. it's at least got a built in sex joke.Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 14:18, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Do we have something on Blue Balls or is it just a throwaway joke in the article on abstinence balls? ADK...I'll dance your pizza! 14:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
If the throw away joke has already been thrown elsewere, then i revert my comment and say "delete".Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 15:49, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Keep. It has its oblique moments. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 03:45, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Fun:Corporate whore

Fun:Dial Up

Torn. I actually like the Trudeau comic reference. But if it were done better, it could be a mainspace. Cause it's not really a fun topic.Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 14:28, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Merge the joke and references into internet. ADK...I'll suck your hovel! 14:38, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Opaque, not funny. Delete. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 20:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Not bad. Keep. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 00:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Meh. Meh, meh, meh. Leaning towards delete, though. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 00:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I get them. Delete listcruft anyway. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 20:55, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm going to make an argument here that this is the very kind of thing that SHOULD be in fun space. something someone thought was fun, even part of mainspace at a time, and found value in. Fun really is a catch all, and sometimes we all don't agree what is fun, but this is one of the prime examples of what i don't think the community should be dumping. Pink mowse.pngGodot Warning, chocolate will make your clothes shrink 21:58, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Fun:Longest liberal hoaxes

It's an interesting effect, I think. I'd vote to keep. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 21:48, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Heehee. Cute .gif. But yeah. I'm with Godot. You can delete it and I wouldn't really care.--Dumpling (talk) 01:47, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Fun:Numbers

I'd love to see a category:conspiracy page on numbers. Cause they seem to always come up. is seven always bad? does 145356 really mean something? I'd personally say keep this around for a while. do we have a "pages that need something done with them" cat? just curious.Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 16:39, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I was curious as to what all the numbers are for...This is a 'meh' for me.--Dumpling (talk) 03:12, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Keep

  • Keep and expand: ROT13 was an early way to hide NSFW material, e.g. in usenet newsgroups displayed on an 80 column by 24 line text-only screen. A simple Caesar cypher, it has the advantage of using the same algorithm for both encoding and decoding. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 19:35, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh, brain storm for a title here. Number Woo me worky, me share, you say "ok or nay". Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 20:43, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

  • Not very funny. And what's with the copyright symbol gag, that should be used on Star Wars, not Star Trek. -- Nx / talk 06:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Great, now we're deleting articles <24 hours than something was announced, and not even sure if we're voting on things. RationalWiki is dead. steriletalk 02:09, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to restore any that you think should stay. I'm mostly just dumping the ones with four votes and no support. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 02:14, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
I don't think we should be deleting anything quite yet. But you have got to admit there aren't many that we should keep. Eye on the ICR talk, or type, or whatever... 02:16, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Sterile, i realize it seems "extreme" till you read the articles. I would not have started deleting yet, either, but it's not like anything being deleted has been done any differently from how every other edit at this place is made. It's not worth making an issue of, when today I deleted 3 articles (not in fun space) in the normal manner of being an editor, just cause they were worthless articles. Nothing new, bad, or precident setting is happening. someone just put a list together instead of doing it one at a time. --Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 02:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Please remind me again...

When did we decide to make Rationalwiki a lame stupid abcess on the neather regions of the hilarity-verse? Must a slept through that decision. Aceace 05:17, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Read some of the ones that have lots of delete votes - they ones that are being deleted are the ones that are letting the namespace down. Eye on the ICR talk, or type, or whatever... 06:19, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Just cause it *says* it's "fun", doesn't mean it is.--Pink mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 02:27, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
