Delete

1. Kevlarstar and his dog (Woof!) 08:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

   @Kevlarstar You know, you should give a reason when you nominate a page for deletion. You want to try to persuade other people that you're right and the page should be nuked. Spud (talk) 11:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

   @Spud It does not follow the mission's statement probably, based on the article's mission template placed up there. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 11:55, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

   That's no excuse for not giving a reason either in the AfD template or on this page. Spud (talk) 12:00, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

   Tiny stub. Kevlarstar and his dog (Woof!) 12:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

   We’ve got lots of shorter stubs, I wouldn’t say that alone is grounds for deletion. Christopher (talk) 12:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

   Yeah. There are reasons to discuss why this page should be kept or deleted. But "tiny stub" isn't really one of them. Nevertheless, I've added that to the AfD template on the page. Spud (talk) 12:14, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

2. This is not a general reference site. We don't need "explainers." We'd be better off linking to Wikipedia. Otherwise we may as well allow article for everything-Hastur! (talk) 16:14, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Keep

1. A bit stubby at worst, on-topic for missionality and as an explainer. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 10:47, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
2. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 11:55, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
3. What Sirius said. Knight Commander^{In Service}_{To Her}^Goatness 12:17, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
4. Keep if only for the fact that it’s relevant to life on this wiki. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 13:06, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
5. No reason to delete, shouldn't be put in funspace because cranks use socks Neiltyson1fan (talk) 16:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
6. Keep it as it is or maybe move it to project space - it's jargon newcomers will hear constantly, but may not understand. IveBeenFrank (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
7. Keep. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 18:37, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Merge/redirect

1. Move to funspace, like we did with Fun:Cat. --Goatspeed. _{Watch me}CircularRasoning^{See my experiments} 19:16, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

• Opinion on Don't feed the Troll, Flame war? And why not move to funspace like Fun:Wandalism or Fun:Pwned or to project space like RationalWiki:Leaving and never coming back? --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 08:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
• Based on what my esteemed colleague LGM just said, I support moving this to funspace. And the same should probably go for the other pages she mentioned. That includes the LANCB one because, in its current state, it doesn't have much to do with recent LANCBs on this wiki. Spud (talk) 11:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
• I agree with above 2, should be in funspace. Sievert 81 (talk) 14:42, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
• Sockpuppet has 196 pages linking to it. 99 of them are a result of a template but that still leaves 97 red links if we delete this. A lot are on talk pages, but there are about 40 in mainspace. I often end up cleaning up that sort thing, so I’m biased towards either keep or move to fun/projectspace. Christopher (talk) 19:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
  • It's easy to remove repetitive links to those pages. You just need a script and we do have people that can write scripts here, our techs like @Sirius. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 23:43, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
