Forum:Destroy All Bad Joke Articles or Something to That Effect
The Star Wars wiki of fan invention.
This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the joke articles. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as a historic record.
The result of the debate was is below; all articles voted into negative numbers were destroyed, and all joke articles not nominated will be destroyed as well. Henceforth, joke articles will not be accepted on the site, as for thats not what Star Wars Fanon is for. --Victor (talk) 15:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Nominations began on July 1, 2007. The voting will end on July 8. Joke articles not nominated or voted into negative numbers will be deleted, and those voted into surplus will remain. After this forum closes, no joke articles will be allowed to be created.
Well, well, per a conversation that I had with Vic and Mr. Sulky, we have devised a means to destroy the very evil, very bad—but not all of them—joke articles. By having a community vote! All hail the Cabal!
So, step right up and nominate the worstest of the worst, so we can have a joke article roast!
On a more serious note, users must review every single one of the joke articles and nominate the ones that are not junk to be able to stay. I will start us off by looking through as many as I can and putting them here. Any joke article without a nomination or a negative vote are to be blasted into oblivion by the righteous and holy Cabal!

- Well, Darth Xerox comes to mind. Pinky49Talk 20:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say that we'd need to put joke templates on them regardless of what the author thinks—if they look anything like the one you just put here—and nominate the ones we'd like to keep.

- The thing is, humor is a point of view, something that has been discussed already. I don't really think this whole deleting joke articles is a good idea, because of that. Pinky49Talk 21:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say that we'd need to put joke templates on them regardless of what the author thinks—if they look anything like the one you just put here—and nominate the ones we'd like to keep.
- Humor is indeed a point of view. However, if the articles are absolute bull****, then there is no reason they should be kept.-- CurrentBigThing (Say It To My Face) 21:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Joke articles shouldn't even be on the site in the first place. --Victor (talk) 21:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- but if I say my article isn't a joke, and its not garbage either, shouldn't it stay? Pinky49Talk 21:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Then how would it qualify as a joke? Bad example. --Victor (talk) 21:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Wha...??? So if I go ahead and remove the joke template from my joke articles, they can stay? Pinky49Talk 21:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
You said its not a joke, and not garbage; Then how is it a joke or how does it fall under this discussion? That was my point. That your example was a bad one. --Victor (talk) 21:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- I said that "if I say its not a joke, and its not garbage." Are you saying that if I remove the joke template, they can stay? Pinky49Talk 21:29, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- As Vic said, jokes do not belong here. Pinky I have read your Darth Franklin article, and I must say it is trash. It is one paragraph, and at the same time inacurate. One cannot "invent" electricity, since it already exists. Poorly done.-- CurrentBigThing (Say It To My Face) 21:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Nope, didn't say that. If its garbage, it's gone anyway. But if its well written, and not a violation of our civility rules and such, then it can stay. However, from this point forth, NO MORE JOKE ARTICLES.
--Victor (talk) 21:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well if the author says its not a joke article, then its not deleted? Pinky49Talk 22:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
If it ever had a joke template in its history, then we know its a joke. And it can and will be deleted if not nominated or voted down. --Victor (talk) 22:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- But what if the template was put there by someone else? Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I don't really see why joke articles need to be wiped out, when in the future people can and will just make them w/o the template. Pinky49Talk 22:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Because joke articles don't belong here. This isn't Star Wars Joke Wiki, it's Star Wars Fanon. And if they are created, then they will be destroyed, unless worthy of stay. And the template won't have to be used anymore, because one the joke articles are cleared out, it will be blasted, and only the category will remain on the few jokes that remain. --Victor (talk) 07:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, but how hard is it for someone to make a joke and not place a joke category or anything on it? Then the joke would stay unless someone managed to catch it in the RC. Pinky49Talk 16:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Voting
Nominate any joke article you wish to KEEP, and it will be voted on. In the end, any joke article not nominated or voted down will be deleted.
