THIS WAS A JOKE. BLAME PACWALKER

Delete[edit]

  1. No sane person could believe that this article is correct; as such, we should rid ourselves of it. PacWalker 03:22, 3 April 2015 (UTC) Sucker count: now up to five seven over 9000.
    fffffffssssssssssssss. ʇυzzγɔɒтqoтɒтo (talk/stalk) 16:40, 3 April 2015 (UTC) sneaky bastard
    Definitely not expressing my disagreement with disagreeing by deleting by trying to delete it or anything... ;) PacWalker 16:46, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
    To clarify: this was an (apparently overly) elaborate joke. PacWalker 03:17, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
  2. While guilty of said crime myself, I do not see any missionality to this article. Cast it into the void. --Madman (talk) 19:02, 3 April 2015 (UTC)The Madman
    You get bonus points for falling for it hook, line, sinker, and fisherman. PacWalker 03:22, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep[edit]

  1. I think it has a place, as it can be seen as a sort of logical fallacy. Zero (talk - contributions) 04:19, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
  2. It's a form of censorship, so of course it should stay, but perhaps with a different title. BicyclewheelModerator 10:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
  3. Either rename it to Internet censorship or just merge into Censorship. FrizzyCatPotato (talk/stalk) 15:04, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
  4. Keep or merge. Censorship on Internet forums, maybe? - Smerdis of Tlön, LOAD "*", 8, 1. 18:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
merging into Censorship looks like a good idea. BicyclewheelModerator 19:36, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

The article isn't *incorrect*, it's definitely a thing that happens and keeping everyone alert to it is good. If you must merge, Burning the Evidence would be a better destination. MatsFan (talk) 12:48, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Goat[edit]

  • This is very much a thing - but this is not the title for this. --Miekal 04:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
  • I agree that the tile is... not intuitive. "Censorship" may not be the right word though.--ZooGuard (talk) 16:24, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
  • "Argument By/through/other Censorship?" The point is it's "I'm correct because nobody else disagrees (because i removed all dissent)".--Miekal 18:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
