RationalWiki:Articles for deletion/Fun:Pwned

Fun:Pwned | Result: Rekt

It's outdated slang, it's linked to in many mainspace pages (so it's not just a funspace issue), even ten years ago nobody wanted this and they were just too lazy to AfD it, and having so many mainspace pages link to this is cringy and lowers the quality of the wiki.

It's funspace, hence standards are allowed to be lower. It's also probably better than most of the stuff in funspace. Bongolian (talk) 21:00, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

The 1990s "1337speak" may be quite outdated these days, and even "pwned" is roughly 15 years out of date. But unlike much of funspace, this term at least has a connection to something that became quite mission oriented over time: gaming culture. BobJohnson (talk) 21:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

The person who made this AfD is a buzzkill who is pwned by us all. WARNING: NOTED IDIOT Daemonspudguy ^{talk page} 15:16, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Has missional relevance and is far from the lamest funspace page we have. Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug! (say hi! ^^) 23:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I have no strong feelings either way on this. KarmaPolice (talk) 11:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Summer1109 You may not be aware that deleting an article does not make all the links to that article disappear. If the article is deleted, all the links will still be there, but they will be red links. Like the link to your user page at the start of this message. In fact, some people would argue that a page should be kept just because a lot of other pages link to it. (But I'm not one of those people.) Spud (talk) 11:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
RW needs to get a bot to do the heavy lifting on that one. KarmaPolice (talk) 12:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
